Brothers Jake, 21, and Shawn Jordan, 23, of Elgin wait outside the Grand Victoria Casino before a planned bourn of a "Pirate boat" Wednesday evening before the start of the game. Despite the efforts of radio station WEBG and the casino, The Elgin Fire Department would not allow the burning of the fiberglass boat. Instead, a cardboard boat and bales of straw were burned.

A small crowd of about two dozen watches as a cardboard "Pirate boat" is burned outside the Grand Victoria Casino Wednesday evening before the game. Radio station WEBG and the casino planned to burn a 19-foot boat, but were stopped by the Elgin fire department because it was fiberglass and would be toxic if burned.
