I thought it was more genuine. There was a lot less chanting for the sake of chanting - and a lot more chanting motivated by what was happening on the field. When TFC surged, the crowd got lowder - when they were pinned down, the crowd was quieter. It made the fans seem more in touch with the match rather than the usual endless droll of "oh god, we can't be quiet for more than 2 seconds, let's sing something, anything!!!".
It was also the first time we've had the entire stadium chanting "tfc clap clap clap" multiple times in a match.
Like I said, the volume and excitement wasn't as high - but the quality was better. If TFC played better and gave the fans more to cheer about, I think it would have been a top notch atmosphere.
