then you're involved in the game just like the players are. good stuff to hear.
sorry for your sweetheart's uncomfortableness; but for me, i think some of the extents arenas as well as stadiums have gone to for fan comfort have taken the intimacy and involvement out of being there. one almost just as well be in your home's "theater room" because of the indulgences and socializing rather than the focus on and empathetic involvement in the game's struggle.
