Hey Stingers Nest faithful!!!!

I need YOUR help!

What can I do to make this site more informative, useful and fun for YOU as a fan? With our long offseason ahead, now is the time to start working on new ideas for next year and to make the Stingers Nest the BEST Fan Site ANYWHERE!!!!

I'm always open to ideas and when we get a list compiled, I'll be looking for some volunteers to help coordinate them!

The Stingers gave us a great show this year, even if it ended on a sour note. Keep in mind, that's the fault of the LEAGUE and not the team.

We're headed to a new league with new ownership and a great team of guys ready to play some IN YOUR FACE INDOOR FOOTBALL next year. Let's get behind them NOW and show them that they can count on us to keep them in Columbia for a LONG LONG time!!!!

Email me direct at: [e-mail] or just post here in this thread!

I don't think the wheel needs reinvented. If we "borrow" ideas from other teams or sports and it was successful, let's go for it.

--How about a theme song? Didn't we have someone connected with a band that posted on here before? Something of a rock nature would be cool. Maybe even have a 60 second version of the song that could be used in radio ads or background music for tv ads. The same song could be played either as the team is announced prior to the game or just before they come out. That would be a cue every week that "get back to your seats, the game is about to begin."
I wasn't able to attend any games, so if this was already done in Cola., pardon the duplication.
-- Get a fan or group of fans to go around the arena to get the others fired up. All it usually takes is one or two to make others want to get rowdy.
--May be too high schoolish, but have the cheerleaders hold up signs for the defense and have it flashed on the scoreboard.
--Have the p.a. announcer announce player's nicknames when they make a play and have them help get the crowd behind the name.

That's all I can think of for now. As I come up with more, I'll post them.
