However, other than that, the crowd is quiet. So quiet that we can hear what the players are saying to one another. They scream to one another, keeping a constant conversation. The attitude of the crowd is casual, they greet friends as they come in, and there is some random chitchat and gossip. However, there is still some tension in the air.
Some spectators have a running commentary, and cheer or curse in monotone, almost to themselves.
To match this, an older lady is complaining about the awful weather. There is a rivalry between families who know people on each team. The player benches on each side are filled with the backup team. Surprisingly enough, there are several freshmen playing for Union. The players on the green team are all standing on their benches, and are quite intent on the game.
