Has anyone attended a home game, other than after a natural or man-made disaster, that had worse attendance than today? 

SDSU and USC had announced attendance of 41k and 43k--so we are far from selling out even against better opponents in better timeslots.   And we sold 10k fewer tickets for today than for our prior games. 

But there must have been a whole lot of season ticket holders who did not show up today, since 30k would have seemed raucous by comparison.

I will second the advantage of not having any lines for anything.  At times I got out of my seat and walked up and down the concourse, where I could always find an unobstructed view of each play, situating myself at the line of scrimmage each time.  Only occasionally would I have to adjust a little to accommodate another standing play-watcher.  

Band notes.  What did you all think of the Band's scarecrow riff on UC Davis?  That scarecrow looked pretty creepy. They got the national anthem down MUCH better than the first game.  The trumpet solo sounded decent. Then again, I'm not sure who is really in this incarnation of the band given that students are still not back.  (Half the home games without the students, BOO!)
