Brahmer, for one, is eager to expe- rience it for himself. While the spring game isn't going to feature the kind of atmosphere that regular-season games routinely evoke, it will provide a tanta- lizing preview. Having been dazzled by the stadium when it was empty, Brah- mer can hardly wait to see it when it's full. "I can't even imagine what it's going to be like," he said. "The chills are going to be crazy. I'm so excited." ■ NO. NAME POS. YR. HT. WT.
