The Location Standing around waiting under the blazing hot sun my group of friends Brad a tall meathead, Jake a tall snake, Brandon a average white boy and there is me a small light skinned Mexican. Waiting patiently in line, one by one thousand of fans are trying to go in to this big salmon and aqua green color building. Before we can go in we have to pass-by security first, taking off my hat and everything out of my pockets. This gigantic security guard waves the metal detector wand to see if I was carrying any contraband like mini shot bottles or a M-16 assault rifle. Luckily, they did not find Brads and Jakes plastic flask that was hiding in their sock. After everyone passes the security check, we are ready to go in with all the same fans that have the same passions as we do. The moment I walked in the arena I get this sweet fresh ice old air that string my nostrils which I can only smell it every time I come to this place. Also I can feel the air conditioner blasting as my skin gets goose bumps throughout the whole arena. As I continue to walk down the hall I smell fresh popcorn popping as it fills the hall with its beautiful aroma and the odor of cheesy nachos making me hungry every step I take. I could not resist the scent, so I bought my self a bucket of lager buttery popcorn and a greasy hotdog to fill my empty stomach. As we keep on walking we get the booze stand and order a around of Jameson Whiskey shots and one expensive cold beer condensation outer part of the cup filled with Dos Equis that was 12 dollars. The game is about to start so we rushed to our seats. Walking down the hall I see a variety of people walking everywhere small to tall, big to skinny, families to friends. I see people wearing the colors of there team. The orange, white, and black is everywhere we walk, I see people with the same jersey as me and also I see the colors of the challenger we are facing, the white and gold

    All of the parking lots near the arena were packed with cars, bumper to bumper. People were running against the brutally frozen air from blocks away to get inside of the warm arena and take their seats. Flooded with people trying to get their snacks before the game, the paths to finding an open seat grew increasingly smaller. Vendors yelled to advertise their merchandise, enticing the people who were crowding the arena. The smell of buttery popcorn filled the air, along with the smell of smoke from the grills. Vendors ran frantically, selling everything that they had and struggling to create more product. The seats began to fill with green, white and red as people represented the Minnesota team on their home…

    I walked into the doors of Statehouse Expo Center, my feet walking with the sound of my bag rolling over the little cracks on the light floor tile, my white uniform as crisp as a fall breeze. With every step further, I could see more people. Lots more people. The mats filled with people. People who spend their whole lives working to be where they are, on those mats. Sparring, combat, weapons and forms. XMA in one corner, Black Belts in another corner, everyone else in a corner and staging in a corner. All surrounded by a Sr. Master or the occasional Master. When we get to a tournament, our team always meets up. Then all the kids go explore. We found our team and all the kids put away their IPads and Kindle Fires.…

    One beautiful sunny morning shattering into darkness? We didn’t have anytime. Going back home then coming back isn’t an option the game would be over. I just stared at the walls of Fenway Park and thought to myself maybe another day. So this was it, three-hundred dollars or more down the drain. I looked up and got lost in the beautiful twilight of the sky before coming back to reality and thinking how we would be able to still go to the game. Apparently my uncle was smarter than us because he was already walking in the other direction. I didn't have a clue where he was going. When we finally caught up to him he was standing in front of a booth called the “Will Call” booth.…

    Thousands of Key Clubbers, wearing different colors and from different areas, flooded every part of the amusement park. I stepped off the bus, took in a deep breath of air, and then I knew, I was ready. I transcended the state of an individual and became one with my division--with every step onto the black pavement towards the park, our spirit augmented. I cheered, sang, and laughed with my club members until we reached the stadium, where we were to compete with other divisions for the spirit stick, the ultimate recognition for the most spirited…

    What Are Gangs?

    • 72 Words
    • 1 Page

    Gangs are a partnership arrangement, or a patron-client arrangement rather than as an immutable organizational structure with a clearly defined position. Gangs are made up of certain criminal patrons who trade information, connections with government officials, and access to a network of operatives in exchange for the clients’ economic and political support. For example, drug trade is operated by “small, flexible organizations of criminals which arise due to opportunity and environmental factors”.…

    We slowly made our way into an overly crowded arena filled with girls and boys dressed in a country theme. Every which way I could smell hotdogs and popcorn sizzling through the air, coming directly from the concession stand. Every step to our seat fluttered our happiness like an ocean crashing upon the seashore.…

    This stadium is humongous!” There was a huge, round, tan stadium in front of my eyes. It said “UNITED CENTER” in big blue letters in the front of the stadium. I sat there staring in awe. When we got out of the car and started to go through security, I realized that the stadium was even bigger than I thought. In the security lines, tons of people were wearing shiny red and white Bulls jerseys and talking about who they thought would win. Once we got past security, we could go inside the stadium. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was in a dream. My bones were shivering at how amazing it was. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I saw thousands of more fans in the ginormous stadium. We decided to find our seats. The entire concourse smelled like delicious cheesy nachos and warm, fresh out of the oven pizza and other great food, and it smelled amazing. It was very crowded on the concourse. We stopped to get warm nachos and ice cold soda. Then, we walked to our seats. There were thousands of red seats that looked like the same seats they have at a baseball game. The court looked very small compared to the stands, but we were up really high. The players were warming up when we got to our seats. I looked for all the players. We looked at the huge jumbotron and there was a countdown on the screen until game time. After a while, the seats filled up and we kept waiting. By the time the clock on the jumbotron ended, the stadium was packed. There were about 20,000 people there and when I looked around, all I saw were the colors red, white, and black all over the stadium. Then, out of nowhere, the lights went off and everybody started to…

    The lights dim as the home team bursts out of the locker rooms doors like a dolphin bursts out of the water for a fresh breath of air. The floor then became filled with six foot men in jerseys and shorts; often you would see what seemed like a short man compared to the other tower-like bodies but that made an interesting contrast. You hear the screeching of the shoes grip as a player went up for a layup; men clapping their hands so they can go for their shot. The coach yelled at the team to run drills scolding them when they would miss a shot. Then the fans attention is suddenly drawn to the opposing locker room where the visiting team is entering. All heads turn, and suddenly the crowd roars “boooooo” the sound surrounds every corner of the gym. The team seemed intimidated by the die-hard fans whose faces and bodies were covered in paint some out of support and others just for attention. The referees then appeared in their black and white striped shirt, whistles around their necks, and their most intimidating look. Finally the clock starts, the whistles are blown, and the game begins!…

    Scouting The Braves

    • 1035 Words
    • 5 Pages

    There were forty three thousand fans that showed up and all had on some type of shirt supporting their team. Many fans had on jerseys of their favorite player, while others wore a shirt the color of their team. While the fans dressed to support their team, the players put on their jerseys in which they all wear a hat, a shirt with their team name on it, pants, belt, and baseball cleats. The only difference separating the two teams is the colors of their team and their name. Every player in the field has a baseball glove and the players batting carry a bat. All the fans are chanting for the home team, the Atlanta Braves and mostly all of the fans are doing the “chop” with foam tomahawk chops they gave out before the game. Every time someone gets a hit for the home team the fans start clapping, cheering and shouting in joy for their team. The opposite happens when something good happens…

    Every single chair in the arena had been filled. From the changing-room it was difficult to describe the noise; fans cheering wildly for their team, coaches drilling the game-plan into our heads, the booming music intended to entertain the fans before the game...all adding to the fluttering butter-flies in my stomach. The arena was built to muffle the sound of 1000 people, but that evening it was like a sponge that couldn't absorb anymore. The teams were introduced and we stormed onto the ice. The crowd roared and it sent my adrenaline soaring, being under so many eyes brought both fear and motivation to me. This game was not just any game; it was the final! The whole season had been building up to it. It was like a war for me and I wished to leave the battlefield with victory. I had faith in my team and I knew everybody on it would play their best to win the game and trophy.…

    Favorite Holiday

    Most families would spend their Thanksgiving together. Yet, we were not a related, we were three different teams, mix to make two teams. However, we were able to put aside the hostility and rivalry among each other and become one colossal soccer family. Once we had reach Dallas, no one knew what to expect of the hotel our coach was able to attain for the week. Most assume a cheap hotel, like Holiday Inn. However, we were wrong. When we walked in, you could hear the amazement in the gasp the whole team took in sync. We were left speechless as we walked into our hotel, a beautiful palace. It felt like we walked into a Disney movie and we were the royalty. Once we were all settled into our rooms, we explored the palace, like children in a amusement park. We did this quickly, because we had to go to bed soon.…

    Discription Essay

    Beep! Beep! I found myself in the middle of an ocean of cars congested, fighting for every wheel turn, and desperate to reach my destination. The red hot steering wheel was branding my sensitive hands. I continued drifting at a snail's pace down the cracked, worn out pavement of Coliseum Way the famous street directing all its followers to the Oakland Athletic’s stadium. After crossing the busy intersection I spotted ahead a huge lime green and banana yellow sign worded “Welcome to the Oakland Coliseum.” I froze in awe of such beauty and even came close to rear-ending the luxurious car leading me. Under the sign stood a warm fair skinned woman in charge of collecting parking fees. I paid my parking fee, but no parking was to be found, the cars were parked like sardines in a can. After what was perpetuity, I saw what looked like a parking spot so small a Mini Cooper would have trouble parking; however it was just enough space for my truck. I picked up my scattered belongings from under the disintegrating passenger seat and kicked open…

    my room

    My room has changed little since I was younger. Everywhere I look I see something to do with sports, mostly the Red Sox. Two red pin strips wrap around my white walls. As I sit on my bed tucked away in the right corner, I catch myself staring at a huge picture of Fenway Park hanging above my desk. To the right the infamous picture of Carlton Fisk waving his homerun right hangs over my closet. Dangling from a hanger on my closet is a retro New York Mets jersey signed by Mike Piazza that waits to be encased. Right next to my bed an oversized Red Sox logo sticks to the wall. The logo is almost bigger than the wall itself. A black and red “jet life hangs” over my head, probably the only thing that doesn’t have to do with sports in my room.…
