Well you're not mr9inches, are you? You're just... Bobhead. 
I'm really excited about the crowd variations this year. 1,000 sounds like a lot, but if you think about it that's just a little more than 30x30. Wow, I wonder how many it will take before you truly won't ever even notice any two models are/animate the same.
I think that's the biggest problem... if all 1,000 animate differently, that would be nice. Heck, it would be cool if it wasn't always "the green shirt guy doing this." I think it would help conceal any loops of any kind.

Haha touche... and I agree on the crowd. But also I think the animations could use more subtlety. Part of what makes those animation loops so obvious and repetitive is that the movements themselves are, frankly, weird as hell.
If the fans were more human-like and natural, it would not be nearly as apparent when an animation was re-used. They just have to choose those recycled animations more carefully. I don't think I would notice if 100 fans were all running on the same animation loop, if all they were doing was standing up... because standing up is a fairly ordinary mannerism.
But when 20 fans are all simultaneously rolling on the floor or shaking their arms randomly, gyrating like those giant balloon-people at car dealerships? Yeah, of course I can quickly tell it's the same animation.
