Didn't take it as an offense or call out AZ. Just wanted to say why the arena is so quiet most of the time. When everybody, not just us seniors, want to stand and cheer we can't because of the commercials and PA announcements. Maybe the Prez can have some input in this and put a stop to this nonsense. She's at the games and has to notice.What part of illegal don't you understand? -
AGREE! PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF BEATING USC! AND TCU!!! Most students won't even know that these schools aren't as good at basketball as they are at Football/Baseball (For TCU). You think we might be able to get a big RED SEA banner instead of a BRAVES one? Oh, and btw, an excellent place to see the lower bowl seating would be Michigan State. I don't think they have seats left for alums there. lol... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!
I'm behind you 100% Bradley Braves, You'll Never Walk Alone! BEAT STATE!Comment

Hold on there, we didn't beat TCU just yet.Originally posted by BUFanatic View Post
I don't know if the school would want the banner to go down (some of the retired numbers and other stuff is on there as well), but the student section does need to set itself apart. Maybe it's the way Carver is configured, but you really would not know that there is actually a student section.
It's unrealistic because we're a smaller school and the arena we play in, but I would love to have the atmosphere of an Allen Fieldhouse. I don't root for the school's teams, but watching the videos online (along with other schools like Pitt), it gives me goosebumps. Not so much the "waving of the wheat," but the Rock Chalk Jayhawk that makes it as though you are in mass. And it seems that everybody gets involved...
Believe me, if this school was serious about having a mascot (we'd have one that was PC by now), the Red Sea could rally behind it and come up with lots of stuff they never could think of.Comment

Wouldn't that be the PCC's deal? Or is it Bradley's sponsors? Im not really sure, trying to ask. From what I remember, they are mainly ads for Civic Center sponsors, not just Bradley.Originally posted by Chico View PostComment

No matter how much anyone complains, they are not going away, they are a major source of revenue for the school and venue and are necessary to support the athletics department, especially at a school the size of BU.Originally posted by jrish12 View PostComment

The most ruckus fans are, of course, the Cameron Crazies and their seats are right behind press row and on the other side. But Cameron is such a smaller arena, it's easier to pack and easier to make it sound loud.
Of course, some of my favorite memories is when Carver Arena is jumping like crazy like the Michigan St. game, the Providence NIT game and the first couple minutes after Chris Robert's shot (even though there was probably only around 2,000 there.)
The crowds will grow as the win amount does this season, but the Eastern Illinois game is going to be brutal. All the students (except us in the basketball band) will be gone and Eastern isn't going to draw many.Comment

The only reason I complain about them is because there are so many complaints about the crowd not being in the game.Originally posted by amckillip View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

If there was free beer......limit 5 per student.......or maybe we could organize underground kegs on weekend games (heck weekday games) for the game?
I also think we should copy Utah State "I believe that were gonna win" chant! because that is awesomeComment

OOPS! lol, didn't meant to throw TCU into the mix. Wrote this after getting back from a drive so I was still pumped that we held on. hahaha Hey, if we can get the community (IE D150, EP, Morton, etc.) kids and others behind us, any atmosphere is possible. Where you at the Richwoods State Final? Lordy, i've never heard it so loud in the Arena and they only took up about 4 sections! Agree about the mascot, though. As an ND fan, I would love it if we got a leprechaun! lol You could STREEEETTTCHHH it and say that it's a Brave Irishmen lolOriginally posted by theBUer View PostHold on there, we didn't beat TCU just yet.

Well to counter that point, many of the recent Alumns are moving away from Peoria once they graduate. I'm not sure of the numbers (someone might want to look it up), but is there a negative population growth trend in Peoria in recent years?Originally posted by JMM28 View PostPeople need to recognize there is a huge difference between playing hard, and playing well...Comment

There are many good seats at Carver that don't require a maintenance fee. The ones I had included. But I joined the Chiefs Club a long time and that was my way of supporting the program. It's up to the individual.Originally posted by JMM28 View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment
