I am GA-RUN-TEED to be at the LA game this Sat so here it goes again: At the 20, 40, 60 & 80 min mark we attempt the DALLAS - BURN chant. The Inferno & GA side will yell "Dallas!" And we need the North & South reserved sides to yell "BURN!" It's almost impossible to get a North & South chant going back & forth like in the Cotton Bowl. From the GA bleachers we just cannot communicate with the reserved sides. Also, the Inferno sits in the southern half of the GA and we really can't communicate with the North Reserved side at all. So, if anyone has any suggestion to help out with this plan please post it here. The Suck Factor at Dragon Stadium is at an all time high, I'm mad as hell, and I can't drink beer during the game! I need this chant to happen or GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!!!! OK, nurse, I'll take my meds now.
There are a lot of fans in this board who sit in the South Side. Have them make up some 'made at home' "D A L L A S ' and " B U R N " signs. GA Inferno should still have signs from last year. South Side and GA say " Dallas " North Side says " Burn " This way you get the rolling across the field effect. Also, passing out leaflets with instructions help.
Yeah, but this has not been too successful yet this season. Even if South Reserved yells "Dallas" with us (the Inferno in south GA) we almost never get the attention of any North Reserved siders, they're too far away. And the fans in north GA don't participate either. It's a new stadium - let's go for a new chant. GA/Inferno calls and both North & South Reserved sides answer. This will also focus some attention on the Inferno as leaders of a stadium-wide chant (with no profanity to boot!) 20-40-60-80!
The leaflet idea would help. And also, be it corny, we do have the "jumbo tron". Anyway for you guys to coordinate that? Lot of newbies at the stadium. A couple of songs passed around couldn't make it worse.
Another suggestion. Not sure what you guys in GA are chanting right before the time starts/opening tip. You have lots of kids here -- that is a given. If you guys did something really simple and clear, you might get some folks on the edges following you. You have a nice "Let's Go Dallas". I was thinking, with these kids here, there may be more of a natural rhythm to Let's Go Dallas, Let's Go *clap(drum) *clap(drum), etc.
The South-Siders were noisy tonight. With a little leader-ship from there they would do fine. They had some tonight along with the scoreboard. Kids like to make noise and raise hale. They are also our ticket to keeping a 1st Div team in Dallas. The Burn front office should try a mascot cheerleader over there. But it has to be a get up so that said mascot could yell out chants.
I sat in the South side on Saturday and there were these guys running around pumping up the crowd with painted stomachs, does anyone know who these guys were?
