The Wave - Just shoot me!

They’ve done it at Fenway all 3 times I’ve gone there (incl. this past week). They even did it before the Monster seats opened (and there was thus a big gap between the LF stands and the CF bleachers).

There’s also a bit of an “anti-wave” movement in the bleachers at Fenway nowadays. Several times this year I’ve seen T-shirts there to that effect… things like a wave inside a “no smoking” circle/line.

What’s wrong with the Wave?

Nothing – it gives those who like it something to do/watch, and it gives faux-cool folks folks something to bitch about. Win-win!

The folks in the Center Field bleachers tried several times on Friday night, but thankfully it mostly fizzled out. The Sox were losing by a run to the Yankees; no time for The Wave IMO. Frankly, there’s never really a good time for the Wave. Sweet Caroline is enough, darn it. We don’t need more than that.

I was going to post that they did it at Fenway when I was there on July 4th. Gah. It’s sacriledge. Watch the game, people. I hate the wave!

I hate the wave, and while I love my alma mater and almost all the traditions at Camp Randall, they take the wave to another level in Madison.

You’ve got the regular wave. The slow wave. The fast wave. The reverse. And sometimes, not always, but sometimes you can get the split.

Here’s a video of the transition from slow to fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4It33s8V5U

Agreed. And I dislike the wave intensely as well, but they do do it up right in Mad-Town. (My alma mater too; go Big Red!)

I’d rather not - there’s a game on!
