<p>I’m going to UCSB and I’ve gone to almost every soccer game so far. UCSB has a great team, and was ranked #5 last year in terms of attendance nationally (we average about 2100 people in attendence per game this year). The Gaucho Locos (the crazy fans) are always out in full force and always make it difficult for the away teams 
Lots of people from the school as well as a good helping of people from the SB community.</p>
