1. The people sitting in my row didn’t seem very friendly.

2. The seats were hard.

4. I was sitting with hypocrites—they only came to see what others were wearing!

5. Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.

6. They played some songs I had never heard before.

7. The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.

8. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.

9. Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches, anyway.

12. The coach never came to visit me.

13. Every time I went, they asked for money.

14. The people in front of me stood up to much.

15. I can stay at home and watch it on TV. It’s just like being there.

18. They played some of the same songs every time.

19. Someone else sat in my seats.
