Mike Brown, the team coach, said: “We want to give [the fans] a lot more than we’ve given them so far already because they’re more than deserving of it. And you know, when you have a fan base that’s as intelligent, rather passionate about not only their team, but their city too, you could feel it’s a prideful thing.”
