Not sure what can be done about the Wild crowd. I don't think they're quiet because they're not paying attention. I think they watch the game in person like the way they watch the game from their couch. Anxiously and nervously watching, while sipping a beer and trading pessimistic remarks with people sitting around them.

Maybe the crowd is TOO on edge, as evidenced by the cries of "SHOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!" during the PPs. It's like they're watching between slits in their fingers waiting for something bad to happen. With all the sports debacles in town, historically speaking, we've been conditioned to brace for the worst at all times.

We're afraid of getting all emotional and then having our still beating hearts ripped from our chest once again. We can't take any more.

So basically the whole crowd is suffering from a post traumatic stress syndrome?

Yes.

Sounds about right. Especially anyone who watches the Vikings.

Sounds like every Finland-Sweden match that matters.

One thing I think teams might want to look at is which season tickets get used and which ones dont, and then if a particular set of tickets are unused more than say...40% of the time, the team can offer them to the highest guy on the season ticket waiting list.

Is there still a season ticket waiting list?

To my knowledge there are people who only pay in a certain amount to keep their "tenure" going and get dibs on playoff tickets before they go on sale to the public. And like I said, the seats next to me are STH's and there have only been 2 games where someone has sat in the seats. Same thing with the seats last year. IDK, maybe I smell or something.....

I think that is 100% spot on and true with every single word!

Still though, Wild crowd did get as into it as a regular season crowd can get thanks to the Jets fans, was a lively fun crowd and man was that a sweet way to win it el' Capitan!

Definitely agree with Muck. That's the way I've felt at home, haven't really been into the last couple games, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
