Bill Snyder Family Stadium: A Narrative Analysis
After each Wildcat score, the jubilant audience counted Willie doing pushups for each point scored and screamed while he led the K-S-U Wildcats chant. After the clock expired and the game was over, fans chanted “Bill Snyder” and displayed signs with the number 200 in honor of legendary Hall of Fame coach attaining his 200th career victory, including an unprecedented 21-4 record against Kansas.
Nothing can be brought to the mind without going forth to observe what is around us. We would not be capable of sensing and tasting scrumptious nourishments. We would not experience either ear-piercing nor congested audiences. None of us would be doing recreational activities either. Nevertheless, Bill Snyder Family Stadium is one of the most jaw-dropping

    Lincoln Financial Field

    Lincoln Financial Field was something that was dreamed up by a fresh management team headed by new team owner Jeff Lurie in 1994. It wasn’t until five years later, in 1999, that a plan was set in motion by the Pennsylvania government when they announced $320 million would be set aside for the construction of 4 new professional stadiums in the state, 2 in Philadelphia and 2 in Pittsburgh. It took a few years longer than Pittsburgh, especially with the poor local growth coalition in Philadelphia, for the project to begin after the announcement to get everything straightened out so that what would be called Lincoln Financial Field could be built. With little public input and few objections to the football stadium that was to be the new home of the Eagles they were able to start building before the baseball stadium. However, the concerns and issues were not just for the baseball stadium; because both teams shared their previous stadium the city of Philadelphia took both the creation of a new baseball stadium and football stadium together.…

    Allen Field House Research Paper

    In the stadium, which originally seated 17,000 when the facility opened in March 1955, was reduced to 15,200 when Ted Owens coached here (1964 to 1983). Since 1993, the facility has held 16,300. Here fans fill red-and-blue bleachers from the floor to window-lined ceiling, creating an ambiance that is so retro-perfect it feels staged. The place couldn't look or feel much more like the set of a gladiator battle. After inventing the game, James Naismith launched the program at KU, coaching the Jayhawks from 1898 to 1907, and his name is on the floor. Wilt Chamberlain played two seasons for the Jayhawks, averaging 29.9 points and 18.3 rebounds. His name tops a banner recognizing All-Americans and his No. 13 hangs from the rafters. Another banner recognizes the school's academic All-Americans, including Bud Stallworth, Darnell Valentine and Jacque Vaughn. Folks here are proud of the fact that legendary coaches Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith are both KU alums and protégés of the building's namesake. Allen Fieldhouse defies logic. It holds almost twice as many fans as Cameron Indoor Stadium, yet somehow feels just as intimate. And its five championship banners are six fewer than hang in Pauley Pavilion, but it has at least as…

    Personal Narrative: The Greenwich Cardinal Baseball Camp

    Since I was 7 years old, I have always participated in Greenwich’s very own Cardinal Baseball Camp. However, until last summer, I had always been one of the campers. This year I was an official volunteer of the camp. Everyday from 8 a.m. till 12 p.m., me and approximately 30 other staff members at the camp would teach young kids how to play baseball. This camp is run very locally, and it is very personalized, something that should truly be valued in a large town like Greenwich. Although not perfect, this is the best camp in town, and it will continue to stay that way as it continues to improve itself. The Greenwich Cardinal Baseball Camp is a very effective place for kids to go and not only learn the game of baseball, but meet new friends,…

    Personal Narrative: The Joe Louis Arena

    The pre-game experience of a Red Wings game at The Joe is like no other. Finding parking and joining the sea of red jerseys rambling the streets brings immediate excitement. The first stop is the famous Hockey Town Café where savory food is enjoyed while also spending time admiring all the pictures, jerseys, and history from years past. Naturally, the server will chit chat about the upcoming game and current players’ stats while game highlights are being broadcasted on immense televisions that surround the vast space. Then it is time to step out into the frigid Detroit winter with a brisk walk down the street. When passing the famous Fox Theater, the doormen call out, “Have fun at the game!” Entering the transit station, it’s time to join more fans on the People Mover, an above ground rail system that runs through downtown Detroit, weaving in and out of buildings, taking patrons anywhere from the General Motors headquarters…

    Usmc Heritage Center Informative Speech

    Outside the Coliseum is the diehard, devoted fan base. At 7 am the parking lot is filled with diehard fans that come early to tailgate prior to the game. As you make your way to the entrance of the Coliseum the spices and smell of perfectly seasoned food attacks your senses. You can’t help but notice the camaraderie and friendships formed while the alcohol flows. It is in the parking lot you see the dedication and years of loyalty displayed by its fans. In the front row nearest to the stadium stands the most dedicated fan. An older man, scruffy looking stands next to his Winnebago. He is dressed in the traditional garbs for the day. His Winnebago is covered from front to back in Cardinal and Gold; from his speakers blares the schools song ‘Fight On’. Walking by he gives you the greeting of the day ‘Fight on’ and talks about the upcoming slaughter that is to commence…

    I have chosen Centerville ISD as the school to complete my Field Experience 1 for this semester. Centerville Elementary has a different setup than the average school. Because of the low population, 1st-3rd grade classes are located in one building. Each class rotates throughout the day to three different teachers. Each teacher teaches two subjects. My mentor teacher, Mrs. Childress, teaches reading in the morning and science in the afternoon. The three teachers create a collaborative environment for the students.

    Personal Narrative: Cubs Games And The Cubs

    My dad has been a baseball fan for as long as I can remember. When 1:20 rolls around on Sunday afternoons, the television is declared my dad's for the mandatory Cubs game. Granted we weren’t obligated to watch the game, however, my older brother and I occasionally stuck around to watch. Overtime, this television snatching turned into an annoyance, most games are over three hours long, which greatly cut into my precious TV time on the weekends. I grew to hate the game because I found it long, boring, and filled with little action. Also, the only games my family watched were Cubs games and the Cubs have sucked since 1908. But like every good relationship it takes time for a bond to…

    Descriptive Essay On Soldier Field

    I have never been astounded by such marvelous architecture until I laid my eyes on Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. Soldier Field seemed like a dragon, just engulfing everyone who was spectating the Mexico vs Bosnia game on May 2011. When I first laid eyes on the monstrosity, I was very intimidated. The thought of entering this behemoth marveled me and made me even more excited to enter and watch the Mexico soccer game that I was anxiously waiting for! Chicago itself is a marvelous city with hidden gems scattered throughout, like Soldier Field. The cold air of Lake Michigan stung my skin and felt like shards of ice piercing my body. Soldier Field, in Chicago, is a monstrosity of a place. Going there to watch a Mexico soccer game was like going into the eye of a storm.…

    Sociological Observation

    I recall the towering posts which seemed to oversee the game, showering the ballpark with light. Describing the physical setting, the field was split in half in order to differentiate the two opposing teams, cars were parked distantly in order to prevent a broken windshield, and portable folding chairs trailed along the fresh-cut grass. There were people of all ages, adults chit-chatting, teens socializing with their “peers”, and the unmistakable cries of smaller children clashing with yelps of excitement were heard coming from the crowd. The ambiance, or mood, of the park could generally be described as relaxed. I overheard a group of people, specifically an older man and woman (dyad), discussing their usual tiring day at work and how they decided to spend their Monday night cheering on their local team as an escape from their monotonous workday. As for the pace, it progressed rather smoothly. Each inning grasped more and more attention from the crowd as the score was very close throughout the entire game.…

    Personal Narrative: Northeast Middle School Football

    Good Evening Mr. Forrest, this is Sean Anderson. I wanted to send this report involving the girl's basketball coach from Northeast Middle School. Me and Jason Collins were the officials at West Creek Middle School vs Northeast Middle School. The games started at 4:45. During the second game, which was the girl's basketball game, my partner Jason Collins made a ruling against Northeast in the 4th quarter. The girl's head coach did not like the ruling and venting her frustrations toward us. She screamed" her player was not there for the foul". While I was administering the free throws I heard her screaming and gave her the stop sign signal and told her ok that's enough. I didn't administer no technical foul even though she continue…
