Apparently these are some things you ARE going to see and some you ARE NOT going to see. Can any of you add to the list???

You apparently ARE NOT going to see:
1) A large semi-trained Buffalo trotting 20 yards onto the field, just like Nakkia Adderson used to do.
2) Those cool pyrotechnics that keeps us on our toes all game.
3) An announcer that has even seen an AFL game prior to last night.
4) Any cool giveaways that Rattlers collectors like to hoard, only to put on ebay in a few years.
5) Free drinks for so called premium ticket fans, where drinks have already been factored into ticket prices.
6) Coaches that are passionate enought to get in the officials face or kick their yellow flags.
7) SuperFan John McComb catching a football and becoming "Fan of the Game".
8) Peanut getting tossed out of our home opener.


You apparently ARE going to see:
1) Loyal fans walking towards the exits with several minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
2) 4 ft. tall female football player trying to tackle an out of shape male as our half-time show.
3) Our new owner sitting next to Rattlerman so he insures himself enough TV time, which money sometimes can't buy, even for the richest.
4) Coach Kauahi dropping the F-Bomb in front of kids at the season opener.

Amen again, John.

I will say one positive statement because I am still a Rattler fan - the new uniform are pretty. Is pretty an acceptable word?

Is it possible that the NO Booms and NO fireworks was because ESPN was there. Do you know for sure that we will not have any of those in the upcoming games?

I was wondering if maybe the lack of pyrotechnics was due to the fact that where they used to sit to make the thing go "boom" is now behind a drape! I mean it would make it hard to see and I can see a possible liability problem involved with small explosives behind material!

I was told by a friend that he got a response from the team in regards to the booms and fireworks. Here is the response I was sent.

Rattlers response: "A number of factors have gone into the decision to eliminate the explosions following scores, but it was an ownership decision."

That response is reasonable in my opinion. Even if I don't like the outcome, I can tell that the ownership groups pulled the plug on it to save money. Problem is, is that they pulled the plug on too many things and totally changes the atmosphere of the arena. I for one, don't think the ownership group has a clue on what their fans want and deserve. It is their team, and can do as they see fit. But it sure feels like we are all riding the final voyage of the TITANIC!
