However, over the years there have been some pretty rowdy crowds for various games and Saturday promises to be one of the better atmospheres due to the excitement surrounding the re-opening of the stadium.
Three games jump out to me in the Tedford era as being particularly wild and crazy in terms of crowd noise and atmosphere.
3. Cal-Tennessee '07: Both DeSean's punt return and Follett's bone shattering hit on Ainge from the blind side sent fans into a frenzy.
2. Cal-ASU '04: I believe this was the first night game ever at Memorial Stadium and for whatever reason (probably 12 hours of pre-game drinking instead of the customary three or so) it was very, very loud and wild in the stands that night even when the game was well out of hand.
1. Cal-Oregon '06: Tedford made a point of asking fans to be loud multiple times during the week, and I remember as Daily Cal reporters we made little pretense of impartiality in giving his pleas for noise way more ink than than they probably deserved in hindsight. Oops.
