I haven’t missed a game in the Jack since 1997. This was the best atmosphere I can remember.
Props to the fans at the game tonight.

Watching on TV, we put on a great show. It got really quiet after the blocked FG that got returned, but other than that, it was awesome.
I didn't go with my usual crazy game-partner so it was less crazy for me. I'd love to see a replay on TV.
Best JTS atmosphere I have ever been to and I have been to 2011 OSU, 2011 Iowa, 2005 Colorado, 2002 Texas Tech.
The announcers were extremely impressed with the atmosphere. The "light show" started during commercial but they were so impressed they had to comment and show like a replay to the national audience. At one point they pointed out that the crowd noise was making their cameras shake. After the game they were commenting that this was what college athletics was all-about. Watching the crowd pour onto the field after the game made the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
I couldn't tell you how many times they mentioned the dominating performance. Thanks to all of the athletes, coaches, and the fans in attendance for such a dominating performance.

One of my biggest issues with our fans at football games is for some reason they’re completely silent on defense for First and second down and then make noise for third down. I was watching on tv, but it seemed like they were actually making noise on almost every down, so that was pretty awesome. It would honestly be one of the hardest stadiums to play in if they did that every game.
Also, there was a point, I think early in the second quarter, where Montgomery was just ripping run after run and breaking a **** load of tackles and he came out for a quick breather and the crowd applauded him just like when a basketball player that’s had a great game gets pulled at the end and the crowd recognizes it. That cracked me up a little. Total Iowa State thing to do.

What was the attendance?
Looked pretty full except for one shot from the northwest upper deck (I think)
That didn't look full, but looked like a nice crowd

I also wonder how the light thing got started last night. As I recall, it was well before the Tom Petty song (for which they did it again).
My son noticed the cheering on downs other than 3rd started on the 2nd and 22 deep in the south end. From then on, it was pretty much every down.
Very close to 60k..there wasn’t many empty seats in upper corners...that place was packed.
I was there and I love the atmosphere so much more than under Rhoads, winning helps but also the like trap music they play all the time had everyone dancing even old people. Apparently easier to get hyped to than Van Halen and **** on repeat.
From the west side, it looked like the students started it, but it was amazing at how quickly the whole stadium was doing it. I've been to many night games, but I've never seen that happen. And it was magical---to the point where I kind of stopped and took a mental note. The best part is that everyone shut it down when play started because we had serious cheering and yelling to do.
As an aside, does anyone know what song was playing after we scored the 3rd touchdown. I have a fondness for all of the after touchdown songs (Do Something Crazy, Bang on the Drum All Day), but I don't know the name of the third one.
It's playing on some fox sports channel at 5 today. There were replays on at 2 am last night and 8 am this morning too. It'll be on cyclones.com on Tuesday.
I was never against playing Sweet Caroline in the 3rd quarter. I obviously know a lot of people hated it. But there was one game last year when they played Won't Back Down. I really liked that. They played it last night but at some random time in the 4th quarter. There's something missing in between the 3rd and the 4th now. I wish that would be the Won't Back Down place.
