Bruce is the guy in the viking helmet in the music video of the goal song before the games. He lives under the arena and feeds off victory. Started in 2010/2011 when they switched their goal song to Arena by Con bro Chill.
my family loves the cedar rapids roughriders and every game we go to, we look for an old guy with a signed cowboy hat he is a season ticket holder so he goes to every game i have never been to a game and i haven't seen him. he is at every game every season no matter the cost. and its not the guy at 9:17
I’m trying to get to three a year so I’m hoping to get to one this April. Not sure if it’ll be Waterloo or not. I’m still trying to work out the details.
@@SACSportsAdventures it was unbelievable! They played the same team you went to see. I didn’t think a USHL barn could get that loud, and there were plenty of fights and scoring. Great time, I’d definitely go back if I get the chance
Loving your channel. If you hit up all the USHL arenas, the Fargo Force have a nice one too in Scheels Arena. Fargo has 3 stadiums you might check out. Scheels Arena (Force Hockey), Newman Outdoor Field (American Association Baseball) and the Fargodome, for North Dakota State Bison football. Newman Outdoor Field is kind of a hidden gem. Bison football is crazy
Yes! All 3 of those are ones that I’ve done some research on and am interested in visiting. Especially with how much of a powerhouse NDSU is. Too bad all 3 seasons don’t line up together ever.
My team (Geneva Cyclones) went to play at that rink for a tournament months ago and after our last game of the weekend not only a storm came through but there was a tornado warning hahaha
Add a RoughRiders fan and season tickets holder, I can verify they we have the best fans, and team, in the league! The energy is explosive and, after watching this, I CANNOT wait until September 30th! After the derecho in August 2020, our community came together and put our city back together. ImOn Arena is a survivor! #weridetogether
I had an absolute blast and was blown away by the fans! Such a fantastic energy in the barn. I hope I was able to capture it well and do you guys justice!
@@danaburgegrant3861 haha! I know. I just refer to hockey stadiums in that style as “barns”. Kind of like calling hockey jerseys “sweaters”. Just a term.
The Riders always traveled well, they have always had a good organization and they do make as much noise on the road with the cowbells! And their fans were always a pleasure to talk to in Chicago! Go Mike Seidel! (that'll take you back, but another NCAA champ!)
Yeah just pocket the cameras while in the johns! I laughed my ass off at that when I first traveled to Young! Waloo does have a good atmosphere as well and yes, lots of cowbells. AND lots of Cubs fans!
Or when they announce the visiting team's starters and coaching staff, and the whole arena chants in one unified voice: "WHO CARES!!!!" after every name.
You should go to Lincoln Nebraska
Yeah, not sure when yet but I’ll get there eventually for a Lancers game!
They did indeed feed Bruce! That is weird as hell but I am here for it. Looks like it was quite a party of a game! Bonus points for fluffy buns 👍
Bruce, parties, and fluffy buns oh my!
Good video Spence I’m looking forward more videos man!!!
Thanks so much, dude!! Hoping to keep them rolling out.
the bruce thing is just two guys from a song called arena by con bro chill reffering to a spirit that lives in arenas and feeds on victory
Ah! Thanks for the info. It’s certainly a unique element.
@@SACSportsAdventures Of course I watch you're ushl videos every time I myself am a fan of the madison capitals
I know its not a USHL team but an NAHL team, you should go to a Janesville Jets game
Yes! I’ve looked into visiting there before. It’s not far from me and I love their logo.
If there are any Riders fans out there that can explain the “Feed Bruce” thing before the game, feel free to chime in! Thanks for watching!

@@thedonmma3751 Interesting. I didn’t realize it’s been around for over 10 years. That’s awesome! Feed Bruce!!
Oh the little shoveling kids it started this year I love it

That’s awesome! I’ll have to look for that guy if I make the trip back.
Young Arena Waterloo blackhawks soon?
I’m trying to get to three a year so I’m hoping to get to one this April. Not sure if it’ll be Waterloo or not. I’m still trying to work out the details.
You do need to go.
I'll be there FRIDAY NIGHT!
Review the waterloo black hawks arena please
I’m going to their game tonight. I’m excited for this atmosphere
That’s awesome! How was it? I’m sure the atmosphere was electric!

You did a great job! But, it’s “The Stable”…not the barn 👍🏻😂🐴
@@danaburgegrant3861 haha! I know. I just refer to hockey stadiums in that style as “barns”. Kind of like calling hockey jerseys “sweaters”. Just a term.
I’m going to a game there tonight! Hopefully it’s a fun time

They phone sweet Caroline at Springfield thunderbirds games too it’s fun to see
That’s awesome! I love traditions like that. If you’re a Thunderbirds fan then congrats on the season and making it to the finals.
@@SACSportsAdventures I’m happy there made it to the finals closest team after the monarchs folded
@@canadiensfan90 Nice! I’ve actually never been that far Northeast before but it’s an area of the country I’d love to visit.
You need to see a Waterloo blackhawks game. Better barn imo
Yeah! I’m hoping to make it out this winter in a weekend trip hitting several Iowa rinks.
Hey! Roughriders just beat them last week! 😄
Yeah just pocket the cameras while in the johns! I laughed my ass off at that when I first traveled to Young! Waloo does have a good atmosphere as well and yes, lots of cowbells. AND lots of Cubs fans!
When you eventually come to Lincoln. Come to a game over facing Omaha. You won’t regret it
Noted! That sounds like an epic rivalry!
Stars are another team that used to travel really well!
I gotta make one of these for our arena
Down in Pensacola? For sure! That would be a awesome!
@@SACSportsAdventures Pensy is more of a hockey town than one would think
Dude got lucky sitting near section V. We are the loudest section in The Stable - many players have attested to this.
I did have a lucky pick!
This may be the best in the USHL for stafium! They are crazy there it's a wild time
Right?! It’s my favourite USHL stadium so far.
It's time for Bruce to go.
Not a fan of him and want him gone?
Yes. The Bruce bit just doesn't fit. Might work for peewee hockey.
Next time you go. You have to sit in section G
What’s in section G?
@@SACSportsAdventures my friends and I sit there every game and it’s possibly one of the loudest section in the whole area.
@@hunterterry7341 nice! I’ll keep that in mind for next time!
Or when they announce the visiting team's starters and coaching staff, and the whole arena chants in one unified voice: "WHO CARES!!!!" after every name.
Yes! Reminds me a lot of a college hockey atmosphere. I love how ruthless the fans are!
