Well, it may not be in a small town where there's only one stadium, within walking distance, but that's not so in DISD. Tiger fans who loyally attend athletic functions are a special breed. They conquer the logistics of travel, money and time. Most fans don't have cars and most public transportation isn't keyed to ball game traffic. In addition, many students have jobs - which they need to pay for tickets and munchies - but which are usually hard to get out off on weekends. Also, some teachers seem to think weekends are especially designed for extra homework. But those who make it are justly rewarded. Not only can they discuss the school's current sports history from first hand experience, but in years to come, they will recall that special thrill, the cameraderie and the minor tragedies that only sports events can produce. Kids and adults alike tend to go in groups, it's more fun that way tcenterl. Ah, the thrill of perching on the railing right behind the home bench - few plays escape the trained Tiger eye in that position Cbottomh.
