The fans of the Senators are known as the ''Sens Army''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&bcid=Sto_army |title=Sens Army |access-date=January 2, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070910103417/http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service%3Dpage%26page%3DNHLPage%26bcid%3DSto_army <!--Added by H3llBot--> |archive-date=September 10, 2007}}</ref> Like most hockey fanatics, they are known to dress up for games; some in [[Roman legion]]ary clothing. For the 2006–07 playoff run, more fans than ever before would wear red. Fan activities included 'Red Rallies' of decorated cars, fan rallies at Ottawa City Hall Plaza and the 'Sens Mile' along Elgin Street, where fans would congregate.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Edmonton Journal |last=Wharton |first=David |date=June 4, 2007 |title=Senators have tradition that O.C. fans can't touch; Normally buttoned-down capital city has exploded in a sea of red Sens fans}}</ref>

====Sens Mile====
Much like the [[Red Mile]] in [[Calgary]] during the [[Calgary Flames|Flames]]' [[2004 Stanley Cup playoffs|2004 Stanley Cup run]] and the Copper Kilometre in [[Edmonton]] during the [[Edmonton Oilers|Oilers]]' [[2006 Stanley Cup playoffs|2006 Stanley Cup run]], Senators' fans took to the streets to celebrate their team's success during the [[2007 Stanley Cup playoffs|2007 playoffs]]. The idea to have a 'Sens Mile' on downtown [[Elgin Street (Ottawa)|Elgin Street]], a street with numerous restaurants and pubs, began as a grassroots campaign on [[Facebook]] by Ottawa residents before game four of the Ottawa–Buffalo conference finals series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=5f37beb9-e64b-4762-a467-cef15d0eb37c&k=89106 |title=Sens Mile |work=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 24, 2007 |access-date=November 2, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071017124241/http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=5f37beb9-e64b-4762-a467-cef15d0eb37c&k=89106 |archive-date=October 17, 2007}}</ref> After the game five win, Ottawa residents closed the street to traffic for a spontaneous celebration.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |title=Welcome to 'Hockey Town'; Moments after the Senators won a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals, thousands of Ottawa fans spilled out into the streets to baptize Sens Mile |last=Deachman |first=Bruce |date=May 20, 2007 |pages=A3}}</ref> The City of Ottawa then closed Elgin Street for each game of the Stanley Cup Finals.<ref>{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 23, 2007 |pages=C1 |last=Dalrympe |first=Tobin |title=Sens red 'mile' to be a wall of police blue: mayor; Have fun but obey the law, O'Brien warns}}</ref>
