Yea, our style of play is not one built for excitement...for us fans atleast.
How long til the first post that says eliminate it?
It is pathetic to see that a TRUE Cyclone fan is told that they must leave their second row seat just because they didn't pay $30 for a shirt. There are people that come with their fraternities or sororities just to be seen in the front three rows when they spend more time on their phone's texting about recent gossip in their house than watching the game. I think it is sad that people (Cyclone Alley Central) walk up and down the rows picking out people who are covering their shirt with a sweatshirt or coat and asking them to prove that they do indeed have a shirt on.
WHO CARES WHAT YOU WEAR! I would rather have a student section that cares about the game and cheers than a student section that all looks the same.

Cyclone Alley shouldn't be an exclusive club. You shouldn't have to pay extra to sit in cyclone alley and receive a T-shirt. This cost should be tacked on to student ticket plans and basically putting ALL students in Cyclone Alley. This would be my FIRST fix. I would have to think about what else....
The first Cyclone Alley season was good...I think they need to reduce the mandatory student section back to how it was the first season so that Cyclone Alley has some competition from other (supposedly) more vocal fans.

What was wrong with the thread that's been going all day on this already?
RRIIIGGHHT...sounds like someone didnt get an offer to join a house. I was in and out of Cyclone Alley as a college student and the only difference was I got a better seat gaurantee in CA, nothing else seemed different to me.

The "true" Cyclone fans are parts of Cyclone Alley and are the same people are generally in the first few rows (I know a good majority of them from waiting for the doors to open) because we show up before everyone else does.
Being in the front row doesn't make you a "true" cyclone fan. I saw plenty of crossed arms and socializing going on whenever you guys were on the jumbotron last night.
General admission seating if CA has to stick around, that way the more devoted fans can get the good seats and the social butterflys can sit in the balcony.
Red shirt requirement only, not CA 2009-2010 shirt.
No seats in the arena circle sections to ensure everyone stands.
LE and Floyd were not run-and-gun coaches like Johnny was, they were defense first and Hilton was still explosive.

So just because people aren't nuts when they're on the video board doesn't make them true Cyclone fans? I know personally I can make just as much noise and snide remarks as anyone in CA, but I personally don't like being on the video board. Does that make me any less of a Cyclone fan? I'm actually waiting for someone on CAC to tell me to tone it down for some of the comments I've made. I'd say the majority of the people who sat outside Hilton from 5:30 to 5:45 when they opened the exterior doors are pretty damn decent Cyclone fans to freeze their ***** off waiting for the doors to open.
There has to be a controlled, evident passion by the players and no organization in the student section. If you want it crazy, let it get crazy.
I think one of the most important things that needs to be done to fix CA is to A: the committee members need to get off their buts and stand up and cheer! When the camera comes across you idiots at least look excited to be there for crying out loud ! B: Get rid of the $30 mandatory fee. This is ridiculous thirty dollars on top of the 125 you pay for season tickets and may i add that 125 doesnt even get you games over breaks i would be better off buying the $99 season tickets and get EVERY game. This is really said that we are arguing about our own student section but something needs to be done. Cyclone Alley has lost all of my respect.
