There's your norm. When you give out cars, people stand and cheer.

Could we be intentionally vague and then hand out micro machines, like when that Hooters girl won a new “toy yoda”?

Because I didn’t want to drag you into the fight but when I have been to Lightning games there have always been plenty of Pens fans. Maybe not as much as there used to be but it’s a nice chunk.

I didn't realize there were still people who bitched about Lightning crowds.

I purposefully ignored them, Trip called me out for it, so I had to say something.

Pretty much every pro franchise located in spots like us, Miami and Arizona, even Atlanta and Vegas, always get a ton of visitor fans, even more so from great traveling/relocated fanbases like Pitt, Boston, Chicago, etc ..... It's goes with the territory and has for years.

So typically it’s more home fanbased? I will had to take your word for it but my argument for the difference is the diminished quantity of seats. That there are always USF seats available and that the place is 2/3 empty is not conducive to drawing a crowd. People need to see it full and be at risk of not being able to be somewhere that other people want to go. When they go they have to feel the energy of the place and see that it’s a place others want to go to. Our games are low energy and overly available, we need some scarcity to help drive up demand and when people get there it needs to be full and fun. If noise triggers your migraines but you think our football games are a fine place to hangout that makes me sad.

We should probably do a study on that, to see if it’s feasible.

I'm pretty sure that studies are feasible.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
