Scott Field appeared dark Saturday night. Were all of the lights turned on or was there some other reason?
The crowd noise also seemed to be muted somewhat.

Well the storm rolled in right at the beginning of the game so that made it a little darker. I re-watched the game yesterday. I was not impressed with the quality of the broadcast. camera angles were weird and the production wasn't that great or vivid. The background behind the espn guys was blowing in the wind. what happened to the green screen they usually use. just wasn't that great.

My theory is the huge jumbotrons at both ends affect the exposure on the cameras. They add a lot of light without actually shining on the field.

It was plenty bright in person.

All stadiums have those nowadays (look at the monstrosity in the Cowboys stadium), so that's not a reason for the difference.

I watched my recording yesterday and you couldn't tell on TV that there was rain or wind. But the wind was howling out of the SE. I didn't get wet because I'm on the east side, south end, and was shielded by the stadium. Those on the west side and the north endzone had to get soaked.

When the SFA guy had to punt on the first possession, he was kicking into what must have been a 40 mph wind. It wasn't that bad a kick, just impossible to kick it very far. By the time we changed ends of the field, the wind had pretty much calmed down.

yeah it wasn't long. I was very surprised at the amount of people that left and never came back after that.

The sound was horrible. I had to turn it up and when I turned to other games, the sound blasted.
