I agree with this completely. Always have, and I've been to a lot of really ****** MAC games.
That being said I think a lot of that has to do with a 35,000 crowd in a 65,000 seat stadium. Just so cavernous.
also, the school has come a long way from the stale environment they blasted in the mid 2000s to today. They've gone great lengths to make USF games more college centric.
