That is AWESOME.

Saw the wings play the bluejackets some years ago. Hull hit the glass right in front of my face.

Cool, Monster. I'm jealous.

Ugh. Current forecast is 50% chance of sleet.

It was totally AWESOME!

just got back, now waiting for the guests for Hebe's sleepover 13th birthday party, but man, what a game. A world record 113,411 attendance, a 5-0 shutout, fireworks after every goal, stealth bomber fly-by during the national anthem, awesome view..... and a choreographed firework display at the end. The atmosphere was fantastic -the marching band, the mexican waves, the chants, the cheers..... excellent, excellent. and no rain. Got a bit cold by the end, but I can live with that.

What is a Mexican Wave?
monster • Dec 11, 2010 9:40 pm
oh probablty a brit term. a crowd wave. were fans stand up in sequence so it looks like a wave.....
Clodfobble • Dec 11, 2010 11:35 pm
Oh, okay. We just call that "the wave." At least in the South; maybe up north where they don't have so many Mexicans, they call it the Mexican wave, I dunno.

Beest suggested that maybe it's an American Continent thing that made it to the UK via soccer and therefore via South America because the north isn't into soccer so much....

If two guys in black suits come to your house and put sunglasses on while talking to you, close your eyes. They're about to 'flashy thing' ya.
