My brother in Chicago sent me an article from the Newspaper about the glory days of the Blackhawks: http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/story.asp?id=297812

That article prompted me to find this:

The US National Anthem as sung before the 91 NHL All Star Game at the Chicago Stadium. My borhter took me to the game. We didn't even have seats. We had GA standing room only tix, which were great for the old stadium. I did it once at the UC but never again. It was a fuckin unbelievable experience. As anyone who can tell you that witnessed a Blackhawk game at the old Chicago stadium, the electricity was magic. The United Center has never been able to capture it. This was before the AS game though, and 2 days after the gulf war started. Pure fucking magic.

I consider myself a patriot. Also seeing a couple Hornets to fly by is always a great feeling.

To me it looks a bit odd when people won't sing their national anthem. But lots of energy in the crowd.
