I think that RPI must have the worst home support in the entire
        world.  The crowd's at the field house are so quiet during the
        games it almost drives me(a huge RPI fan) up the wall.  We have
        an awesome team, which puts together some really beautiful
        plays (of course, that can't win two games back to back but...)
        and the majority of the crowd (excluding season ticket holders and
        a sprinkling of other die hard fans) are the only people who show
        any emotion or even a response.
 
        The only time their is any real noise/action in the crowd is when a
        goal was scored.  I mean thats great and everything, but when RPI
        is losing and playing poorly their is no support from the home
        crowd.  Doesn't this defeat the point of home ice advantage?!?!?!
 
        I watched some WCHA games on TV over the break and they showed teams
        like the Golden Gophers playing at home.  When these teams would rally
        from a deficit or some poor playing the crowd would really get into it.
        The players would even skate along the boards and really get into with
        the crowd (banging on the boards, shouting, etc.)  This sounds more
        like a fun time at a hockey game.
 
        What do other RPI or any visiting fans think about the home crowds.
        Do any of the WRPI guys notice the difference when they travel??
 
                                Just curious,
                                Bryce.
