I haven’t seen the announced crowd tonight but it’s great to see the Panthers play their best home game in front of the biggest crowd. There were certainly Green Bay fans here but it was at least 80% Panther fans. Hopefully a good handful of fans saw tonight and are encouraged to go to the K on Tuesday and consider at least going to more games next year.

Detroit lost at the HL regular season champs by only 5 today. We fans can take UDM lightly, but the team better not. It will essentially be a trap game in an environment totally opposite today's.

Totally agree, but one essential ingredient is that we kept them ENGAGED throughout the night!! Consider the challenge MET!!!

4,037 fans tonight, making enough noise for it to feel like 8,000. No fights in the handshake line or inappropriate behavior from fans, and 200 students showed up (albeit not all of them in the student section). #ForTheMKE personified!

As I started a thread in spring, we struggle to get students to come out on Saturdays. We had bigger student crowds this year.

No fights in the handshake line or inappropriate behavior from fans, and 200 students showed up (albeit not all of them in the student section). #ForTheMKE personified! Move the students to the sideline across from the visitor bench between midcourt and the baseline. Make an electric atmosphere even more electric! You will have more of them sitting together in these premium seats, rather than the obstructed view which are hidden several feet from the floor. Come up with a catchy name for them. Have Bart, Scott and Wayne talk them up bigtime, such as touting that they helped generate a key run by the team. Have themes for them. "Satin Jacket Night" is an example that would have been perfect today. Show them some respect and make them feel relevant. Give them some autonomy in coming up with ideas (with proper oversight, of course). Generate demand through short supply by limiting the number of students in this premium section. They will want to keep coming back for future games and could organically evolve into something special. I will throw out a number for this limited student section - 120 students. You would only need what, about the first five rows at courtside across two sections? Or 10 rows in one section? Let the excess students go where they are now or where ever they decided to sit today. What do you say Joe? Apply your own special tweaks and present the idea to your bosses! Forget all of the efforts that have not worked very well in the past. No need to say these were my ideas. I will let you take all of the credit when this proves successful.
