Just look at that crowd. When the 'Dome gets filled up with students, the 'Dome gets very loud. We happen to have a great tradition of throwing tortillas on the floor. Who else gets crazy like that? No one, that's who. That is what makes college college. Students throwing tortillas on the gym floor while the game is in progress makes for great entertainment.

The Thunderdome is loud. When it gets filled (more on that later), it gets crazy. Jerry Tarkanian, coach of the UNLV Runnin' Rebels back in the day, noted that he hated playing in the Thunderdome.
Opponents may make fun of the 'Dome, but it truly is a symbol of college sports. It's a small gym with a capacity of around 6,000 or so, it's got classic bleacher seats, and the students are right in on the action. The place is intimidating to play at when you get the right mix.
If we can get the right players, the 'Dome will be filled up every home game. I realize this is a chicken and egg argument, but it can be done. It was done in the glory days and it can be done now (just look at Men's Soccer).
