Big East: Nightcap More Palatable

By Grant Tunkel - May 23, 2007

The wind is no longer whipping through the press box, which is making this last game much more enjoyable. Papers are staying put, and while I wouldn't say it's warm, the cold is definitely more manageable than if it were constantly windy. The wind has changed direction, blowing a little more out and toward left rather than in from right.

Furthermore, while the stands are pretty much empty, I'm still impressed with the number of people who have showed up. St. John's of course has a fairly decent fan base, given its close proximity to Keyspan Park. But there's a small enclave of USF fans sitting behind the third base dugout. They're all sitting together, most likely for warmth. Someone in the press box earlier today asked what the rule was on starting bon fires to keep warm, and the idea of a garbage can fire was raised, but quickly squashed.

1-0 USF, end 2.
