I was in the stands that night. I personally believe that SCV pulled out the Bottle Dance during that week. With the lack of practice, and a lack of watching the field commander, the major side to side phasing occurred. I do not believe the loud crowd was the major cause.
Also, I believe some of the crowd loudness came from the design of Olympic Stadium.
This is just my opinion from being there that night. B)
