The league wants to open up the game, which is good for the fans and the game, ... I think (general manager) Mark Hunter and the scouting staff have done a good job of finding the type of player we need.

I'm a fan first, and I don't believe good rock 'n' roll exists unless it's in partnership with the fans. By putting ramps up into the audience and keeping the stage low, it creates such an energy and an interaction with the crowd, it's a sum that's greater than the parts.

I'm really happy for the loyalty and continued support of my fans.

When you can play in front of 3,000 fans, it's an opportunity to pull out some of the earlier and more esoteric songs.

It doesn't get more hostile than it was tonight. Their fans are loud and they cheer their team on. I only wish we could duplicate this environment at our place.

If players are playing well, the fans want to see seem them; they don't care about steroids or other controversies.
