The best seat in the house .. . BLEACHERS You have just bought your ticket. You enter and you go straight to those long elevated seats with the holes under them, better known as bleachers. You pick one out and sit down on the cold, uncomfortable seat. You put your bag on the step in front of you and begin to watch the game as a man gets up and starts walking your way. “Excuse me,”’ he says to eve- ryone he bumps. He now gets to you. Just as he announces “Excuse me,” he bumps your bag and it falls through the holes 34 BLEACHERS under the seats. He says, “Sorry” and proceeds. Now it is your turn to go down the line saying excuse me. You finally find your bag just as it starts to rain and you realize your raincoat is in the car. You know that if you exit the field you will have to pay to get back in. So you go back up and sit in your seat. Slowly people begin to leave until you are the only one left. You are soaked, as water runs down your face. The announcer says that the game is cancelled. Crystal Camba Mark The next day you get up with the worst cold you have ever had. Now wasn’t that a fun ex- perience on the BLEACHERS? That is probably the worst thing that can happen to some- one and it usually doesn’t hap- pen that way. Usually you see people walking around talking, laughing, and having a good time. Matt Dalton was asked how he felt about bleachers. He re- sponded, “‘They’re like Sweden, neutral. They’re there if you need them and they bother you if you don’t.” Students were asked what could best replace the bleach- ers. “‘Recliner chairs, because they’re much more comfortable. They don’t get hot or cold with the temperature,” replied Janet Bryant. Bether Johnson said, “Hundreds of contour adjust- able chairs.’ Perhaps the stu- dents in the pictures have the best ideas for what to do during the game. They never sit down. denny Hable is caught by surprise dur- ing a short break between cheers. Sideline visits with friends makes Jen- nifer Morgan a football fan. For socializing and watching, these are perhaps the most important part of the game, THE BLEACHERS.
