What percentage of the crowd has to be standing for it to qualify as a standing ovation? Being at the game, I thought he got a very good reception, but I don't think I would have called it a standing O. I felt it was something like 20% of the crowd standing and cheering enthusiastically, 30% sitting and cheering enthusiastically, 30% cheering casually, and 20% not cheering. Wish I could go back and pay closer attention. Being there in person, it didn't seem to be the same level of "standing o" the media made it out to be by calling it that and only using shots of the crowd in which many were standing.
