I he student was chased back across the field and up the stands by security guards and policemen. The guy almost got arrested loi showing a little spirit.

I he guy was just enjoying life and helping others do the same in a harmless way ? holding up his hands. "Do you know what that could lead to?" the cops say. "Why, they would think they could get away with anything at football games ? like cheering and booing. I hat could lead to people having fun, high-spiritedness and fan participation!"
