    How do we make section 8 better next year?
    New songs???
    Flares???
    any ideas???

    This year wasn't bad but it was nothing compared to SF. It's time to get section 8 back to where it was even if were in Naperville.

    Good song, but that would suck en masse. Plus it's too complex.

    It would be good at the end of matches, due to the "Back to that same old place" part.

    Personally I'd like to see people showing up earlier to stake out a claim. I'd also like to see the section spread out horizontally, rather than vertically. We should start taking up two out of the three segments. It would help to have more bodies.

    Streamers. I liked 'em. Flares would be good too. On a windy day, confetti is great even if it gets everywhere.

    Drink more before the game....or at least just leave your inhibitions at the turnstyle.

    Let me do some digging. I'm sure I can find it again.

    edit:
    Found it.

    We actually used to sing Sweet Home Chicago at the end of games in the first and/or second season. It didn't stop for any particular reason, it just sorta did.

    Later,

    On second thought, scratch the effigy part.

    Fill the entire end with people that want to stand, sing and chant. That way you won't have to worry about the ankle biters ans soccer moms.
