The place is nearly full and the acoustics in the Carlson Center make it seem like there are fans cheering from behind the bleachers.

Owner Chad Dittman opened the game by announcing the Alaska Wild had lost to Chorpus Christi. He then announced the Roughnecks determination to beat the Wild. It seems a natural fit for a rivalry, but can a three-week-old team have a rival? It got a positive reaction from the crowd, so it's possible.

After Odessa’s touchdown, Dittman and the mascot ran onto the field. The owner, not the mascot, was the one throwing free t-shirts into the stands.
