    Not only was it a good crowd from the numbers, it was a good crowd from the noise. I don't know how loud the second half sounded on TV, but it was loud at the game. REAL loud.....

    Yeah, I was watching it on tv and I was surprised that people were in their seats when the game started. Good job fans! People need to keep it up.

    I guess we'll see if it keeps up after the streak ends.

    That was easily the loudest regular season game I've ever heard. When the time was coming off the clock, that may have been about the loudest crowd I've ever heard. period. Deke was waving on the crowd and the place exploded.

    (I didn't get to attend any games during the championship years.)

    Damn, so it takes a 21 game winning streak just to finally pack the place?

    Section 114 was loud. One guy from our group was 3 rows directly behind the Rowdies, he was standing and yelling during the 1st quarter and the guy behind him kept asking him to sit down. Luckily, the seats beside us were empty, so he came and sat with us. We had a great time in our Texans Battle Red gear.

    I was there up top in section 412. From what I saw, the lower bowl was more full than usual but still way too many empty seats, and especially for a record setting night on a friday during spring break.

    I can help you with that comparison. I caught a lot of games at the Summit during the championship years, and without a doubt the Target Center is louder. Much, much louder. They pack another 4000+ people in there than the Summit did, and the acoustics make it so that the chants and roars really resonate. It's nuts! :)

    I also like how suddenly I'm talking about the "Target Center" in Minnesota, unable to edit my posts. Oh well! :)

    I was at the game last nite. It was a great crowd for Toyota Center standards. Only the playoffs have been better.

    I was there too. It was nutz. Most of the seats were full at tipoff. And the crowd went insane in the 2nd half, especially in the 4th quarter. And it got so loud in the last minute that my ears were ringing.
