Cameron Hughes of Venice Beach, Calif., goads the crowd at Friday night's Scorpions game. Hughes is a "professional sports fan" who was hired by the Scorpions to ensure that team spirit was at its peak during the first game at the new Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho. Hughes attends games all over the United States and Canada, pumping up fans. "They wanted to make sure it was noisy tonight," he said of the team's management. Friday night's game was his ninth in 20 days, and New Mexico is the sixth state he's visited in that time. |
