Up front, you can't see the cable, so you have to trust the guy in the back to give you proper instructions to keep you from getting the basket caught on anything. It's definitely a team effort.

Walk-up (ticket sales) for the first (Stockton Thunder) hockey game was huge. We averaged 8,300 fans for Saturday hockey games, so I suspect we'll do that for football.
It's an honor to host the Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup, in my opinion, is the most symbolic and well-known trophy in sports.
We didn't expect it at all. We had about 6,300 seats sold on Friday and thought with a strong walk-up that we might trickle past 8,000.
Our criteria is pretty simple. We wanted something that look good and, obviously, said football. We wanted something crisp and clean and that wasn't very busy.

I walk around and see how inventive they are, and you'll hear them break out in spontaneous chants. It creates an electric atmosphere.
Both sports are exciting and fast-paced, and fans have responded to it. Season ticket sales were brisk for both from the beginning.
Judging by how sales have gone the past few days, I think we will have a sellout. That's what we're preparing for.
