Just Think About How Unbelievable College Football Crowds Are Going to Be This Fall

This tweet came across my timeline and got me fired the fuck up on a Friday afternoon. Sure, we've got the NBA and NHL playoffs, College World Series and Major League Baseball right now. But there is nothing like what is coming in just over two months.

After a season in which nobody in the country had a full capacity crowd and some schools played games in front of just dozens of parents, college football crowds in 2021 are going to be biblical, to borrow a term from Tommy Smokes.

I can't even imagine what some of those stadiums are going to sound like Week 1. Georgia and Clemson in Charlotte. Alabama and Miami in Atlanta. Notre Dame going to Tallahassee. And then obviously we'll have all the conference match-ups we're accustomed to throughout the season, but now back with the crowds to match the excitement on the field.

It definitely helped having some games with 20,000 people spread out throughout a stadium, but it still wasn't nearly the same. We're coming all the way back in 2021.

The 100,000-person crowds going bananas are what make college football better than any other sport. There isn't an atmosphere in sports that matches a day on campus for a huge SEC football game. The tailgates, the team entrances, the bands. I have chills right now thinking about it.

I can't wait to be back. Just 78 days.
