The coach said it. “I was pleased with (the crowd in Des Moines),” McCollum said. “We need to get those same people to Carver. I'm going to convince them to not sit down, ever.”

So for those who want to call security because fans are standing in Carver, maybe just listen to coach and stay home.

Dang it, I need more tickets.

I always wondered what would happen if we just got rid of the student section and called it something else where you do stand and cheer all game.

Soccer has this with supporters sections and they are loud/ crazy. We get nothing out of our student section so it's time to try something new.

Can you see better if you stand? Is your voice louder if you stand? Soccer fans are loud/drunk. Something new? Row 40 is always empty, the all game standers should migrate to the last row, problem solved.

Shocking a fan of the Cardinals and Packers would be that guy. Shocking I say. Gotta love those self-proclaimed best fans in the world!

I was at the game Saturday it was a very nice environment when it was close early on we were loud when a good play we stood and cheered. Only when basically game was over we sat nothing to really get excited about. But there's a time to stand there's a time to cheer but I don't want to stand the whole game either

Wouldn't it be easier on you if you were the one in row 40? Don't have to walk down all those stairs, after all.

Ya I know but I guess I was saying there's a time for all of that . One of the best atmospheres is hilton collosium and they stand cheer and sit the only difference is they have a great student fans show up and cheer . That makes all the difference in if the atmosphere is good or boring.the games at carver are boring but fun when the students are actually there

You people wanting to stand and cheer for at least parts of the game .....

How inconsiderate! I want a silent unencumbered view that allows me to sit and knit or have a nice nap but you hooligans want to get up and make all that noise.

The nerve of you people.

S0 you are telling fans who have followed the Hawks for the last fifty plus years, who have bought tickets paid extra for all those years to get their seats…..to stay home, you are no longer wanted.

If they don’t want to stand and cheer at appropriate times — or if they are complaining about those that do — yes.

It’s time for a changing of the guard.
