I honestly had no idea who your team was playing or when Spazz but thnx for keeping up with Utah and even taking the time out of your busy day to post about it. On my drive home yesterday I heard something on the radio that seems to contradict a little of what your saying however. Hans Olsen said the stadium wasn't full and more then half of them left at half time but it was understandable considering the weather and the opponent.
In my 10-15sec of internet searching here is a link and a quote that seems to confirm that.

And then another 10-15sec search I found that CenturyLink Field seating capacity is 72,000 and the ESPN box score shows ATTENDANCE: 60,050
Here's the link.

So I know I'm supposed to be pumping gas while dumping beer on all your moms (side note, sorry ran out of fresh beer so several of those cups were "recycled" beer) and I didn't go to a great school like TDS however 72,000 seems like a bigger number then RES holds. So it stands to reason that it would look more empty. Also let me add that the attendance numbers don't actually reflect the people that actually showed up but more the ticket sales so there was likely less that 60,050 at the game.
Root with the TKO.
