We had scored free tickets from a friend so we were in the nosebleed section but I didn&#8217;t mind. It was nice going to an evening game for a change since the last two times we went to a day game it was too hot out. I did mind the crowded section we were in and the people who we&#8217;re sitting directly behind us &#8211; two boys no older than ten and their mother. The boys were swearing and using the n-word and the mother didn&#8217;t say a word.
