There's no question that the players play much better with bigger crowds. I see the differance on Wednesday night at Ocala. It's students night and they have about 700 people in the stands.They show a lot of enthusiasm, and you can see the players in the cage getting a kick out of them. I remember the same thing in Bridgeport on a Sat nite, with 9,000 people in the stands. They really played their asses off. I guess knowing they had Sunday off had something to do with it.So, the answer to your question is a definant, YES!!
