"'Something was calling to us,' Pochapin said. 'We were like, 'What if we just started to become the fan section of this school? What if we just start coming? What would happen if we just started bringing our friends and getting loud and getting excited?''"
"'There is just no place that we had been to that we felt so close,' Koffman told ESPN. 'This gym felt like you were up in there, as close as you could be to the floor.'"
On January 16, 2023, college basketball fans David Pochapin and Cameron Koffman attended a game at Long Island University, where they felt a strong connection to the venue.

They invited friends and family, established traditions, and promoted games with slogan-adorned T-shirts, significantly enhancing the game-day experience and atmosphere for themselves and others.
