Scarlet Walk, Senior Day Version

[MrsScrew]

Something absolutely positive from yesterday was the new Senior Day Version of the Scarlet Walk. Player families greeted their sons as they got off the bus & walked down the walk with them, holding a sign with the player name, and in some cases, photo montages &/or posters of the players.

It. Was. FANTASTIC.

The players were all smiles, shaking hands, hugging fans they knew. Aaron Lewis pushed his grandma (?) in her wheelchair down the walk, Dymere Miller carried his daughter in his arms. The families were SO excited walking, grinning from ear to ear, high fiving fans. It was truly great to see & be part of. I have to admit I got a little emotional watching it unfold. I was told this is how it's going to be done going forward. Mark your calendars because it's something not to be missed.

Looked good, but it felt odd doing nothing in the stadium pregame.

Feels more odd to do it in an empty stadium.

I thought this was a terrible idea. Players really should be recognized in the stadium because it hits different. It’s wonderful for them to hear the stadium cheers of the fanbase

The stadium is empty at KO.

The stadium is empty at KO.

There are still more people in the stadium, than attend the scarlet walk.

I think it’s the same amount of people. In a smaller setting it looks packed. In a stadium it looks sempty.

I would do both. Not even recognizing the seniors in the stadium is bizarre.

Personally, I felt like something was missing
