Back in the day

Making my way to my field sight and I see a small firework display!

They know I have arrived, what an entrance for myself. Just playing, I am getting here during halftime and I hear the yells coming from the crowd.

This brings back great memories from my high school days. It has changed a lot before there was only dirt in the parking lot now it's all paved out, lucky kids!

I see an old lady walking to the parking lot, some kids hanging around and some people barely arriving like myself.

I notice many people wearing their sweaters guess fall is kicking in already. I decided to wear my new Olympic Jordan jersey. I get a great smell of popcorn as I'm approaching the stands and I also see three young girls wearing cheer-leading uniforms from my old middle school which brought back more memories.

I see five kids playing football to the side of the stadium. I look up and I see even more kids. I wouldn't blame them the game doesn't seem interesting with the home team down 44 to 13.

Many students wearing mums which makes me think it is homecoming week.

I see two young men going around selling candies and chips one has the box while the other one is yelling, “Chips and candy!”

There are many mosquito's around and I am really tempted to ask the old man next to me if I can buy a couple of sprays of off.

I see a young boy about 2 years old in the band section playing with his toy drums I'm sure he'll become the next drum legend because he is starting very young.

The same man with the off is sitting in the handicap section with a young man who I am very familiar with. He would come and support all the sporting events back when I was in high school. He's in a wheelchair and he still manages to make it. I remember my freshman year he was presented with the fan of the year during a basketball game. I admire his support to this school.

The gap in the score had now increased as the away team scores again. That is enough for some more fans as they make their way out.

I notice many people wearing NFL jerseys a big part to do with that is it is football season. I've seen a Pittsburgh, Washington, and San Francisco jersey.

I noticed a little boy up in the stands has been on his tablet since I have arrived. This brings the thought of how technology has changed. Many young kids know how to use an electronic device and it amazes me. I mean if he didn't have that tablet would he be playing football with the kids on the side of the stands. Is this a key component to child obesity? Just has me wondering. Crazy how a day of field work makes your mind think.

I see many kids around 1-2 running around in the bottom stand one almost got hit by the camera man making his way out. Could have made a disastrous event.

Making my way out I still see the young kids playing outside which is a great thing. This sporting event attracts many different types of children. I also got to witness the game closing touchdown as my friend couldn't make the last tackle. Another great day at the field site.
