They would get somewhat stirred up when Denver would have an opportunity. And during play there was the occasional "Let's go Pios" chant. We did some "Let's go Red" for our guys.
But with the incessant piped-in music at stoppages, there didn't seem to be any dynamic of the DU supporters doing any cheers. Maybe it's different for games in their own arena?
Lots of Denver fans. Probably 8:1 or 10:1. I'm surprised that Denver doesn't have a pep band. They did have cheerleaders though which was annoying.
I know the place was almost all Denver fans, but I was surprised by the lack of atmosphere on the broadcast. No crowd noise except after goals. Not sure what it was like in person. The rink itself was heavily mic'd—-you heard very loudly the sounds on the ice like the sticks, the boards, the saves—-and maybe that masked the crowd noise.
The crowd was mostly older fans (as witnessed by the lines to the men's room). DU also had spring break 3/21 - 3/29 so a lot of students were gone. There were very few organized cheers on either side.
