I was at the game yesterday. Although it was not the result I wanted, I thought the game day experience was much better.
I took my septuagenarian Asian Mom and she got a kick out of the Cal Band's rally at Sproul. We marched with the band to the stadium and she loved it. Mine you, she is not at all interested in college football or it's traditions. We had no trouble getting into the stadium. Bathroom lines were nonexistent and fairly clean. I didn't find myself irritated with the canned music as I thought the Cal band had plenty of opportunities to play. The drone show was awesome and the stadium was fairly loud with Cal fans actively taking part in cheers at section CC. In fact, I was very pleased with how polite and welcoming Cal fans were to our Auburn visitors.
It was a nice eveningnot cold and not hot, just right. The campus and Berkeley in general looked great. In fact, the city overall is much cleaner than I remember. That's not saying much as I live and work in San Francisco. Overall, I felt a great sense of pride with the whole experience.
