Something to be said for that, at least they came...

And I'll tell you something else, the ushers don't do much to encourage repeat visits, I'll give you an example.

Now, when thousands of kids are coming through an entryway it's obviously no small task to herd those cattle to their seats. And one particular member of stadium mgmt, positioned himself poorly to direct the flow.

Now, as hundreds of kids are coming through, with no real direction, and they hit the glorious light of the carrier dome at the entryway to their section, one can understand why they would begin to migrate towards the sea of silver to their right or left as opposed to walking up 50 steps to fill in the last row.

If the gentleman was at the corner, he could've managed this. And if the kids had direction, they most likely would've followed course.

Instead, said gentleman is standing 8-10 rows up, waving them up. When they don't hear or see him, he flies off the handle. Races down the bleachers to, I kid you not, SCREAM IN THEIR FACE. No less than ten times did I personally witness this.

It's not a 17 yr. old FR's fault that the Carrier Dome wasn't prepared. And, I'm sure we left a tremendous impression on those FR, who've been on campus a week.

The kids weren't the least bit confrontational, although, ratherly scantliy clad.
