Overall it's WaGriz. That stadium is massive for FCS and the crowd is right on top of you, and they know how to get loud. Griz are 238-37 all time there.

For elevating the home team, it's NAU. They hang around and beat teams they shouldn't in that place because it's indoors and at 7000' feet. We can only dream about if the Cats had that kind of advantage at home
Bozeman isn't bad...It's almost as big as WaGriz and almost as high as NAU.

Each of those is better individually-and probably the 2 toughest FCS road trips- but Bozeman is probably a top 5.

I clicked on the link and saw the “medium” category for many sections. If you go one step further and click “select seats”, it will show you what seats are available. It is truly mind boggling how many seats are left open. I would say that at least 60% of seats are still available less than 24 hours from kickoff.

Holy crap, I just scanned all the seats. I know people already have plans this weekend, but that place is gonna be empty.

Lots of empty seats but I bet it's still a good atmosphere tomorrow night. It has happened at MSU a couple times too when they've played Thanksgiving weekend. The casual fans who are just there for the gameday experience don't show up but the diehards still will.

Everyone knows the playoff game the week after Thanksgiving sees way less people. Same here. Students are all gone. People are out of state. And it's an 8 o'clock game. You have to stay in Missoula if you live out of town.

I thought they had the loyalist fans ever. lol When they play out of Missoula they don't have the fan base follow like a lot of the top teams in the FCS. They come out when they're at home not so much when they play on the road. Very poor than.

Exception when they play Cats.

Many of the Gris fans think they're the best fan base in all of football. They're not. But the spin you're trying to put on their loyalty and level of traveling as a fan base is even further off the opposite way.

I have no idea what this post is saying. I will say there were noticably fewer gris in Bozeman at the Brawl. Very noticeable drop in Walmart gris clothing this year.

Hope they let the fans move down to the best seats. I'd like to see the Griz advance to play SDSU.

Their fans don't travel out of town when they have away games very well. They might be in top 5% of fill the stands at home and in the bottom 5% when attending games on the road. They fabricate everything they do as a school and football team and their coach is all BS.

Talk about fabricating! Your statements are redonkulous and you're starting to look like a real donkey. I'd ask you to show us the data that you're using to make such statements but I know you don't have any.
