With a 95-68 win over the Halifax Rainmen on Wednesday, the crowd at Caesars Windsor was electric for "Clash At The Colosseum II."

Fans agreed that the venue was more intimate, and made for a more enjoyable experience, which brings into question whether all Express games should be played at Caesars Windsor.

"The atmosphere here is better," says Windsor's Alan Ver Kamer. "Not in any disrespect to the WFCU Centre, but I'd probably come here more often."

Cottam's Jesse Sharron says the casino at Caesars could attract more crowds, which he adds is key. "Both the Colosseum and the WFCU Centre are nice venues. So I think whatever draws the biggest crowd would be the best."

The win Wednesday brings the Express to an 11-0 home record this season, in both the WFCU Centre and Colosseum. Below is a photo gallery of Wednesday's Clash At The Colosseum II.
