Gizmo 21 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Greetings from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I work the race as a photographer in the pits each year. Yesterday I wore my Holmstrom jersey here yesterday for the driver's meeting and got a lot of thumbs up and "Nice jersey!" remarks from people. Today I wore a Red Wings hat on the starting grid. Before I had to clear the grid, I realized that a number of people in the upper deck of the Paddock seating area were chating "Lets Go Red Wings!!!" Before I could locate the source, it stopped.

HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Are you sure? Because I hear "Let's go Red Wings" chants at EVERY sporting event. Like, a football game between New England and New York. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Same thing my wife says. My wife says that Crosby and his not-beard looks like a child molester. But a LGW chant at the Indy 500? That's badass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember back in 1997 or 1998 when the WWE held a big event in Detroit and the entire crowd was chanting "Lets Go Red Wings"? It was pandamonium around here...

Gizmo 21 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Same here.. Pretty much every "Let's go ... " chant sounds like "Let's Go Red Wings" to me.. Nope, it was definitely a Wings cheer. For starters, in the 20 years I've been going to Indy I've never heard an organized cheer of any kind. There are a lot of Michigan folk in the crowd. I saw a guy in a Lidstrom jersey today and passed other people wearing Wings T-shirts. It sounded like 10-20 people leading the cheer at its peek. Also, for the record all month all I saw was one guy in a Pens T-shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got one going in the North Vista too. We started it just to annoy a guy in a Pens jersey, but then a few more people joined in. Edit: Yup, FinRedWing nailed it Edited May 26, 2008 by SeeinRed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
