The atmosphere inside and just around Arizona Stadium is superb. The student section — a very large one at that — is absolutely packed with red shirts.
The tailgate area behind the scoreboard was filled and festive, but it gives enough room for people to comfortably walk through. It included a decent amount of alumni participation and the band playing in the background.
Speaking of alumni, CMU has a decent showing of support at the stadium.
As far as conditions, it is about 90 degrees and dry at the moment. There is a thunderstorm in the distance, but it is heading away from the stadium. I’ve been told it will be dark or very close to dark by kickoff at 7 p.m. local time (10 p.m. EDT).
