The crowd has been terrific, and, (Danny can tell me if I'm wrong), a boost to the team. What, besides winning of course, can we do to keep this atmosphere alive in the rink? Does anyone have a feel for the percentage of students? Has that risen and been a factor? Did the Naked 5 help the atmosphere? When Maine scored that third goal, I was in the Dexter Lounge, and I actually felt the place shake again. I haven't felt that since the enlargement of the rink!! >> Yes, I thought the placed rocked! I don't know if the number of students increased, but I did hear that tickets were available just before the BU series for students so if they hadn't already picked them up, they could. Great idea! Yes, definately the Naked 5 helped the atmosphere! They were great, as was the band. Loved that tune "Hit the Road, Jack" and so did the rest of the arena! I think anything that gets the crowd going is a plus, like the band member that does the dancing. We need more of that sort of thing. And no, Cathy, I'm not auditioning! I'm sure Danny will agree, that the crowd definately boosts the team! Let's keep it up! Carol
