Section 14 Photos
Section 14 bids farewell to the Coliseum

"There was plenty of sentiment from the fans. Section 14, known as the host of the Coliseum's die-hard fans since the days of the New Haven Nighthawks hockey team, was vocal for the last time. The section was dotted with fans wearing only Nighthawks and Knights shirts and jerseys. The section then bid farewell with a derogatory (John) DeStefano chant. DeStefano is the New Haven mayor who has labeled the city as a place for the arts while being unsympathetic and unsupportive to city sports franchises during his terms."
