STRINGING IT UP While at the homecoming football game, fans decided to fill the at- mosphere with silly string, a foamy colored substance sprayed from aerosol cans. THE MUNCHIES The choices at the concession stand seemed endless. Chris Cane and Mike Arner deliberate over what food to buy to still their hunger during the Gulf football game. C. Laursen ociable Spectators Game-goers find entertainment off the field S urprisingly, the cen- ter of attention at football games wasn’t tackling, passing, or rushing. In fact it wasn’t on the field at all. A quick glance around the stadium revealed that the majority of student fans found their entertainment within the stands them- selves. Their natural urge to talk prevented many game-goers from watching the game. “I don’t really look at the field until I hear people cheering, otherwise I just talk with my friends,” said Ed Cole. Mike Murphy added, “I just cruise around and meet people from the other school.” Some students occupied themselves by cheering with the cheerleaders and band. “Forget the game, watching and joining in with the cheerleaders is the best part,” said Stuart Jones. In the fourth quarter of home games, cheerleaders threw plastic footballs pro- vided by Burger King to the people in the stands. Matt Tamplin said, “The highlight of the game is try- ing to catch the footballs.” Others passed time at the games by eating. These students took full advantage of the conces- sion stand. Popcorn, pret- zels, soft drinks and other food items were sold at prices ranging from $.50 to $1.25. “At football games I get an urge to eat so I usually end up spending a lot of money at the concession stand,” said Lisa Krons- chabl. The Friday night games were used as an emotional outlet by some. Groups of about ten male students of- ten painted their faces red and gray at home games. “We got the idea from college football and basket- ball games we saw on TV,” explained Nick Arakas. Silly string, brightly col- ored foamy string sprayi from a can, was often usi at games along with sig and air horns. Eric McGrail said, don’t really care about tl game, I just like to yell aij have fun to release tl pressure of the week.” Though football gam may have seemed borii to some, others found wa to have fun. □ by Chris Laursl 4 18 □ Football Games
