Faces in the Crowd...BIG Faces

How do Brown fans show their support for the Men's Lacrosse team? Simple. They create giant cardboard cutouts of the players' faces. This past weekend, the Brown tailgaters were joined by the faces of the men's lacrosse seniors.

The Bears have always had a loyal following, but now, I think it's reached a new level. Over the past three years that I have watched Brown lacrosse games, fans have been present but never in this way. Every year though, the fan base grows and their method of supporting the team has come a long way from merely throwing a party in the parking lot while the Bears play a game. Now, Brown fans run back and forth across the bleachers cheering on the reigning Ivy League Champions with larger-than-life heads, which are essentially, portable versions of FatHeads.

While I'm not on the team, despite my overwhelmingly successful D3 lacrosse career, I know what it's like to have great fans and to have no fans at all. The louder your fans are, especially when holding ridiculous cardboard cutouts, the more exciting it is as a player. So I think I speak for the team when I say, thank you Brown fans.

...and I speak for the fans when I say, You Make Us Proud.

Oh, and by the way, I was awesome at Field Hockey. See for yourself at the bottom left of page 3. Thanks:)
