St. Lawrence has a 92% home winning percentage in conference play over the last three seasons, which directly contradicts the idea that crowd size is irrelevant. That noise you're praising is quantifiable, and our smaller, packed stadium consistently produces a higher decibel level per capita than larger, partially-filled venues. Your argument confuses nostalgia with results. Our student section is full for four quarters because the product on the field warrants it, evidenced by a top-15 national ranking in defensive third-down stops at home. Passion without performance is just noise. We create tangible disadvantages that show up in the box score.
