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

    It's early October on the grounds of the University of Kansas where barren trees; swaths of dormant, beige grass; and the pale, limestone buildings have created a monochromatic tableau that looks like a picture in an old, yellowed newspaper. Amongst the landscape of what could look like cathedrals lies a building that brings many students to their feet in anticipation of what will happen. Indeed, arriving for a game at Allen Fieldhouse can feel like preparing to rummage through the dusty archives of college basketball. But after a 2005 renovation, there's nothing musty about the newly developed structure. And with one of the best teams in the NCAA holding court inside, Allen Fieldhouse is all about the traditions that…

    At & T Stadium Research Paper

    While it swarms the air the first thing that is noticed by most is the smell, one step in and the war,smell of deep fried food surrounds you. It would be overwhelming, but the vast stadium spreads out the aroma as much as possible. People immediately go on a quest to search for the scoreboard,but nobody looks for very long, because stretched from one twenty-yard line to the other lies the oversized HD scoreboard that is unrivaled by any other. Next to the mammoth scoreboard an Imax would look like a tablet, on each side of the main screen there is a smaller screen that is still monumental. Concrete walkways leading to the seats are lined with a tunnel of stores all displaying a lone navy blue star with a white outline. All of the walls are either navy blue or gray, the only other colors in the place come from the glare of the scoreboard’s lights. Every seat is a drop of water in a sea of blue, with the only blemish being the occasional fan for the opponent. At the base of all the grand stands lie a field that is precisely laid green AstroTurf with the only exception being the navy end zones at each end, it isn’t game ready yet. Theatrics for the national anthem and team entrances are set up randomly around the…

    Miami Marine Stadium Essay

    The Miami Marine Stadium (MMS) is a historical landmark home to Virginia Key, Miami, Florida. Built in 1963 and designed by Cuban-born architect, Hilario Candela, who was only 28 years old at the time. The Stadium is considered a Modernist icon due to its characteristic reinforced concrete structure. Named after the famous 1900’s yacht designer Ralph Munroe, the stadium can accommodate 6,566 spectators. Due to its photographic panoramic view and its location next to the water and across Downtown Miami, the stadium was host for many different world class powerboat events, hydroplane regattas, and major aquatic-stage concerts for artists such as Jimmy Buffet. Tragically, after Hurricane Andrew, in September 1992, the Miami Marine Stadium had to be shut down since it was deemed unsafe for the public. After being abandoned, the MMS became a graffiti…

    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,…

    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…

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: Playing For The Goodlettsville All-Stars

    It was the middle of the summer and I was playing baseball in Jackson, Mississippi. I was playing for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. We were playing in the little league 10u world series. To get to the championship we had to win 8 games and it was single elimination. We had won 7 out of 8 games and we were playing our 8th game and it was the bottom of the third and I was playing left field. In the second inning I was felling drowsy so my dad gave me a Snickers and a Red Bull. I was for sure not drowsy anymore. I could feel the sugar rushing through my veins and I was on the balls of my feet waiting for the pitch to be thrown. When my pitcher threw the ball I had my hand in my glove ready for the ball if it was hit to me. WHAM! The ball was hit so far up in the air it looked like it hit the sun. When I realized that the ball was coming to me I was way too far back so I had to run as fast as I could and dive for the ball. I jumped as far as I could and stretched as far as I could. I barely caught it by snow coning the ball. Everybody was so proud of me that the screamed as loud as they could. We went on to win the game 4-1. The next day I woke up, jumped out of the bed, and put my uniform on. I was so excited, I was in the championship! I…

    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.…
