And the teams just played "score a blue if they score a red". So, I wouldn't be surprised to see the crowd getting into an offensive match, so long as it's well played...
Uncontested offensive matches, where alliances keep to their sides of the field, are boring, in my opinion. If both alliances are putting up ringers at similar rates with a hand in their face, and they're crossing the field to mess with opposing rows, including use of the spoiler, then that is exciting.

But an 8-4 slugfest with last second ramping excites me more.
