Madison Syracuse Garden

What a great time today.

Seats were 80 percent Orange, the team took care of business and entertained for all but the first four minutes of the game.

Those who went...revel in that atmosphere. It was so wonderfully dominant.

Exaggerate much? I heard it was much less more like 75% Cuse.

That place was in BET form, packed and rockin. Hell it was a mob scene just to get past the ticket scanners, I made my way over from Stout at about 5 to noon, I think I waited in the main entrance for about 15 minutes before getting to the escalators. And yes, the crowd was overwhelmingly orange. I'll give some credit to the Johnnies fans, a lot of them seemed to stay to the bitter end.

Agree Mad, that was a blast today. Got some last minute tix and took my 4 1/2 year old. Was absolutely floored at how many 'Cuse fans were there. It was a home game.

People are saying 75% but honestly, to me it looked like 80-85 orange! I was in the 300 section and everyone except 1 row was in orange that was visible to me.

I was in the same area and it felt all-orange to me. The only St. John's fans I really saw were a group they bused in as party of some charity initiative that was right in front of me.

I think 75% is definitely a conservative number. The concourses were all Orange -- like 200:1. Besides the Johnnies small student sections behind both baskets, the rest of the crowd was 90% Orange. That was a take-over.

Gotta have a keen eye to tell the difference between 75 and 80%.:noidea:

Wish they showed more shots of the crowd on TV. Couldn't see but could definitely hear the SU fans.

The Garden is a very dark arena. I was at the game and just watched the replay and TV doesn't do it justice. The place was all orange.

I was just messing with Madhat...reading the Redmen thread they were mostly saying about 80%...one SJU fan even said 90%
