On TV it sounded pretty decent, but looked pathetic, frankly. Which is not the fault of fans or the club, but that's how it appeared to me.Atmosphere was good. Not quite like a normal home game, but not far off. Everyone was really happy to be there, I think.

Based on what I saw I would have guessed 1-2k. It looked so much more empty than what I thought 7k would be.It sounded really loud on the broadcast -- the roar after the Johnson double-save was like old times. But yes, obviously only having 7,000 in that cavernous stadium is going to look weird. Hopefully soon we can dramatically increase the limit and have more fans in the building.

It was about what i expected. I was surprised at how much space I felt I had.
It was nice getting some sun, sitting with family and friends, and watching a win... even if I did have to drink a Stella.
100% worth the price of admission if you ask me. I hope everyone else felt the same way too -- we deserve this.
Nah, it looked definitely around 7k. Just everyone is spread out, but to me it definitely looked close to 7k. Stupid-big stadiums with little people inside be damned, but I'm sure the players were happy to play in front of fans!Based on what I saw I would have guessed 1-2k.

I had trouble getting in. The gate closest to the supporters section was only accepting pitchside seat holders (I didn’t see anything about this beforehand). Got stuck in line awhile at another gate and missed the first goal. But all said, it was good to be back
It was all good in person. People around us weren’t in high five range, but we could interact and do cheers (five chicken buckets!).Based on what I saw I would have guessed 1-2k. It looked so much more empty than what I thought 7k would be.
Oh I want to and plan to go. This was just a TV perception issue, and apparently somewhat limited to me. But again, it looked like each section was maybe <5% full, nowhere near 20%.It was all good in person.

You should definitely try and do the next one if you can.
Felt truly bizarre walking to Costco while holding my mask instead of wearing it. Was almost happy to put it back on when I got there. Gonna take some getting used to after all this time.new CDC mask guidance. doesn't look like things will change for attending live games just yet...

The dominant practice in my neighborhood for months has been not to wear masks full time outdoors. Realistically, I can take a 45-60 minute walk and unless I go to the main commercial strip I will only cross paths with someone maybe 8-12 times, so that makes a fair bit of sense. I might need a mask for 3 minutes out of the total walk, and my practice has been to wear it pulled down. I know a lot of people mock the chin masks, but I would pull it up while still a good 20 feet away any time someone did approach. Now that I'm vaxxed, I've only been pulling it up if the person approaching is masked or at least has one on their chin. I will probably continue doing so as a courtesy even though the guidance changed, though that won't continue forever. Of course I pull it up when entering anywhere indoors.Felt truly bizarre walking to Costco while holding my mask instead of wearing it. Was almost happy to put it back on when I got there.
