Small towns have always been know for their dedication to football....with such movies like Varsity Blues & Friday Night Lights, they have really shown the true meaning of what it means to be a part of a small town community and support the local team...You could pretty much drive down main street in any small town in America on a Friday night and see absolutely no one and virtually no business' open. Boulder City Nevada is just such a town, this place reminds me of the small town in New Mexico I grew up in called Lovington, where everyone who wasn't playing, coaching, or watching the game was helping in some sort of fashion from cooking food, shooting videos of the game, taking pictures for the paper, keeping score or announcing the game over the local radio station, and they all do if for free......Most large cities and metro areas don't have the "small town spirit" that you will find in places like boulder city, with their metal detectors and police force patrols, most people would rather not even take the chance on going to the games anymore. Living in a small town has its advantages, but most people will never know what they are because they have never experienced what it is like to be "part of a team", and I think that is exactly what it is when you live in a small town and support the community, is being part of the team!
