attendance was 5,231. lower than i had hoped. still puts in about the bottom third of teams that have played so far.

we drew quite a bit more than rockford did the previous night against us, and almost as much as peoria did. though iowa put up a huge first night number. those are the teams i always try to compare to. those are all our close rivals and good markets to compare to.
there was a pretty good vibe in my opinion. though i think we did pretty awful in our attempt at a 'river of red.' i would say only about 50% of people were wearing red.
not near as electric as last years opener, but still ranks up there among the better games i have been to.
