ziptrumpet87 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 It was a fun event. I would guess about 800 people showed up (better than the Crawford-coached games!), as did WEWS news crew (with camera). I'm also going to guess that the guy with still camera was from the ABJ. We'll see if any of this gets published or just disappears. Quote
timmyboy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Posted March 27, 2007 I heard mack and proenze talking during the autograph portion, an they said that it was closer to 1000 people there. the lower level was pretty full, and the upper level had a good number of people in it.... an there were also people standin on the upper level end.
