I saw both Toronto and Atlanta (old stadium) but both, I believe, pre-97 so crowds weren’t swallowed up. been to like 20 Revolution MLS games through the years to get that idea, though. EDIT: I should say old old stadium for Atlanta. Can’t keep up! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one reason when the A's suck I always recommend people make a trip to the Oakland Coliseum. Won't be too much longer that you'll be able to have that experience. And you're right... there's nothing like it. Don't know if that's a good thing... but it's definitely a thing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fact: nobody spread coronavirus in 3/4-empty Veteran's stadium, Cleveland stadium, Riverfront, Three Rivers, etc. Let's let that sink in for a minute. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
