Thursday Night Lights

It is fairly close to 8:00 pm as I get to the stadium and it seemed I arrived right around halftime. I chose this field sight because of the different types of people and cultures it attracts. It brings back great memories of my high school days I still get that Friday night feeling as the weekend approaches.

I see a man laying down on the bleachers with his shoes off and eyes closed. He is at a football game so my assumption is that he had a long day, it's Thursday so more than likely he worked today. I'm assuming he is supporting someone he knows on the football team otherwise he would be paying attention to the halftime band show. The man got back into watching the game as the second half started.

There was a little boy who was crying coming down the stairs another little boy in front of him about 6 years had a hand full of food who looks like his sibling. I say this because he continuously looks back at the little boy crying seeing if he is still following him. An older woman who might be his mother picked him up and the boy stopped crying.

The culture I see so far seems to be the same and the people range from Mexicans, Whites, and African Americans.

I switch sides of fans, and compared to the other side this side seems more disappointed many on their phones showing disinterest. This has been the issue for all of my high school years. Some are still cheering on showing support. The team down drastically found a way to get into the end zone a sense of enthusiasm comes from the fans.  There is a group of young men standing up yelling names, "Bailey!" maybe close friends they are supporting. There is always a student section and from the looks of it the majority of students seem to be where they are all standing. They looked over to me and one of them actually tapped the other on the shoulder and pointed towards me. It turns out they are my old high school friends from when I was a senior. I walked over to greet them. I noticed they have grown since I graduated and they look much more mature. I wished them luck on their upcoming season and they invited me to go over and practice with them. I said I'd try but my schedule was busy.

There is a player injured getting attained by the trainers and a man from the stand seemed worried and walk over to talk to the trainer. That might be his younger brother or someone he is close with.

I see a teacher Amy got teacher of the week. She is young and is probably enthusiastic while she teaches so she gets along with the students who voted for her. She is waving at the crowd jumping up and down in happiness. As she made her way off the field many people congratulated her which means she is probably well known.

As people are leaving I noticed families with a mother, father and kids the ideal family in a society. The two boys are running ahead racing to the car as the mother shouts out, "Slow down!" I also noticed a lady alone in scrubs someone else who might have been working all day and came to see her son play.
