22. At a university football game.

Sat Sep 9, 2023, 06:28 PM

Sep 2023

Where almost everybody in the stands is (a) local in a university town, (b) a college student, (c) parent of a player.

Demographically, that's a lot of Biden supporters.

The booing wasn't initial; it was reactionary, following cheers from Trumpers. Then the main burst was mixed, sort of the high strings whistling and cheering and the cellos and basses booing. High pitches are more salient to humans than low pitches.
