The entire game was themed around the "blackout" concept, featuring performances by both the dance and cheer teams. This excited fans and enticed them to interact in the student section. Michael Chacon, a junior marketing major from Layton, said: "I always attend games because of the amazing student section. We all want the same thing, and I think it is really cool how we can all come together and make an impact on the players performances." When it comes to themed games, the audience's attendance and overall participation is a big deal.
