**Playoff Pressure on Team Execs, too.

At the rally and at Fado's afterwards to watch the game there were some FO people around and from what I heard we won't be very close to matching the Chicago crowd without a brillant walk up.

I'm expecting from what I overhead 11-12K if we don't have a good walk up. Disappointing, but, maybe a packed Nordecke with intensity we haven't had to deal with all year will help.

The Nordecke is usually rowdy, but in a rather calm and relaxed way, especially lately with the points cushion. Expect that not to be the case tomorrow with the season on the line.

Maybe the good Dispatch coverage today, the playoff signs I have seen, etc. will raise some eyebrows and lead to a good walk up.
