The Pittsburg State fan support was tremendous. They showed up early and were loud all day. Brock and I arrived to Braly Municipal Stadium at around 7 a.m., and went to work photographing and interviewing the fans already showing up outside the stadium. The team took their traditional walk and the fans lined the way. There was a giant pep rally. It was another fun assignment to cover. To view a photo gallery of some of the fan support, click the link below.
