Aaron Beatch
not sure if you guys will ever see this comment but I'm wondering about the game atmosphere and doing something like the seahawks chant. I never like to compare the CFL and NFL because they are two differnt beasts however in the only Seahawks game I have been at they did a Sea Hawks chant. one side of the stadium chants Sea and the other chants Hawks and it becomes a competition on who's lauder and it seemed to filter threw the crowd all the time with random people starting chants everywhere. wondering if it's possible to start with B on one side and C on the other. sorry for the longgggggg comment
