For what it's worth, on Friday Curtis Dickson returned to the Dome after signing with San Diego in the off-season. I would argue he is comparable to Johnny in terms impact to the franchise (though he also led the team to a championship). There was a tribute video in the first quarter with a ovation from the crowd (some of them standing). Apart from that nothing else really in terms of boos or cheers. He had a monster game though.
He also didn't have any of the tension with Johnny's departure. He is a class act all the way and handled signing elsewhere in that manner.
But I suspect we will see a tribute video early in the game, and a smattering of boos the rest of the time.
