I'm in my later 40s. Not that young. And even if I haven't been drinking you'd probably hate sitting a row or two in front of me (because of the yelling) or behind me (because of the standing).
drunks are always stupid and you don;t have to be young to be a punk though that is the usual example
clearly there are a few older punks here

Slightly related story- the Sun Bowl in El Paso in 2010 was a different crowd than the ND blue hairs were used to and they looked extremely uncomfortable. Drunken screamers galore. But they were so outnumbered they wouldn't dare telling the drunken screamers to sit down or stop screaming. And it was awesome.

I've been to 3 Sun Bowls and I love the experience. The El Paso locals go annually as a matter of pride. They pick a side and cheer at random. A bunch of them are there to drink and get really passionate about rooting on their newly adopted team. They then end up starting fights with other locals who randomly chose to cheer for the other team. It's actually amazing if you think about it.

Awesome back story. Had no idea that’s how they roll down there. Thought I just stumbled into a really fun passionate section of the ND fanbase.

Carr for QB 2026!
Hey now! This old guy stands and yells with the best of them.

Can confirm.

For those that said the stadium was quiet during the Ty/Weis years, not always. The Bush Push game is still the loudest I've ever heard that stadium, and that was before the video board and the extra walls to help trap sound in. The '23 OSU game was a close 2nd. There were a number of games during those years that were loud, but there were a lot of weaker opponents that hung around and the crowd was dead.
