9,000 great fans

[Winder/aka Dan Holmes]

For the Richmond game, it would be an honor to be in the presence of those 9,000 fans that attended the game against UNH.

Wow, what a group. From beginning to end, those fans made it so noisy for the Wildcats. They had great difficulty relaying plays.

One of the greatest/funniest things I've ever seen in 24 seasons of UNI Football was when their QB was screaming out an audible; one of our players was leaning over the center within about a foot of the QB to hear the audible!

If my math serves me correctly, I believe we can hold at least another 7,000 fans. If they turn out to be half as noisy as those wonderful 9000, we're going to need earplugs!!!

My 9 year old had her fingers in her ears a couple of times last night....while still screaming!

My throat is a little scratchy and sore today. My palms are tender from clapping so much and so hard. People in church this morning indicated the crowd sounded really loud on TV. Looked full, so, they must have been showing the west side. I love the Unidome crowd.

Re: 9,000 great fans

I was down on the field for my job and I couldn't even hear the guy standing next to me talk at some points, he had to yell. I imagine it was just as hard for the UNH players on the field to hear any audibles or play calls too!! We should sell this Richmond game out, but if we have those same 9,000 from last night, we'll still be set!

It doesn't matter, don't you know that teams from the CAA are impervious to hostile environments. We will get beat by Richmond by 25, we don't even belong on the same field with them

Re: 9,000 great fans

I'm not sure the old stereotypes of "west siders" applies, with the change in the ticketing.
Doing away with the non-student general admission section has moved many of the passionate fans that had always sat (or stood) on the east side, over to the west side season ticket area.

Re: 9,000 great fans

Yeah, I have to give props to the west side for the last few games. With such a horrid student section this year, the west side has really come through.

Re: 9,000 great fans

I guess the fight song really hits the true panther fans


Hail our Panthers, we are ever loyal,
Showing our strength and unity.
As we rise, we firmly stand behind you,
Urge you on to victory.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
As you lead us on to fame and honor,
Fight! Fight! Fight! will be our cry.
So, give us a yell, Ho! the purple and the gold,
Victory for UNI!

Re: 9,000 great fans

My little boy and I each drank our body weight in soda after the game. Our voices were shot, man we worked hard. The West side has been a machine this season.

It has been a lot of fun.

Jeg is all over the place over there. If I could give him rep points for almost every post I would at times.

I should get my name switched to Jegbomb52 at AGS, that would be cool.
