May 26, 2017 – 9:18 PM, Game 1 ECHL Kelly Cup Finals: Matt Garbowsky, dramatically, ties the game at 2 for the Colorado Eagles with 2.5 seconds left in regulation against the South Carolina Stingrays (which Colorado would go on to win). The crowd was, to quote the late Stuart Scott, “en fuego”. You could not hear the blaring goal horn, let alone your own thoughts. Total strangers jumping around hugging each other, beer being thrown in the crowd due to pure excitement. Fans screaming “HEY!” with the goal song and getting louder with every repeat. I could not believe how loud the Budweiser Events Center was and I did not think it could ever be any louder.
