It's not happening, especially not considering the amount of work, time and energy that's put into those three days before ever getting there.

If people don't want to cheer at some time, they shouldn't be "forced" to; they probably have a good reason, like being tired or "just not in the mood."

To keep the thread on track, or atleast the track it's mostly taken, I don't think anyone's actually suggested that we try to keep a stadium of high schooler quiet. From what I've read, most everyone is supporting being loud and proud. The only disagreement is between people that want to stand and cheer during matches, etc, and people that end up sitting behind them and don't want to stand and would like to see.
