Unwelcome Surprise
by Genesis on 2/11/24UBS Arena - Belmont Park - Long IslandI have attended many games at the new arena and regrettably, this is the first time I witnessed what can best be described as rowdy behavior and fowl language. Typically I sit in Section 320, 321 or 323, row 7 or 8. Getting excited when the home team takes the lead or scores a goal is perfectly understandable. The young men in the rows in front of me, however, got more than carried away. A pity. They not only polluted the air with their mouths they also stood up and blocked the view of those behind them while they did it. Oblivious, of course, to the inconvenience wrought on anyone else in the vicinity. There were many families and children present I might add. I've been to many sporting events over the corse of my seven decades and, hopefully will attend many more. I don't expect that type of behavior to completely disappear but if it can be curtailed going to a game would be even more fun.
