[QUOTE="JDragon, post: 427018, member: 780"] Well, I remember it fairly well as I was at the game with a friend of mine from school and his sister and dad. We were in 7th grade. We had been at the park for about 20 or 30 min and were just hanging out waiting for the game to start. When the quake hit, at first we didn't realize what it was. I heard it more than felt it at the begining and thought it was a WHOLE lot of people stamping their feet, but quickly realized that was not the case. The best part was almost right after it stopped, the whole stadium started chanting "WE WILL ROCK YOU" alla Queen. Of course no one realized at that point how big a quake it was and just thought, "hey we live in CA, its what happens here". We very quickly realized, as people started getting the news reports on their radios and small TV's that it was much worse than we thought. People stayed calm and someone came out on the field with a bull horn to tell us what to do if their were aftershocks and such, and to just hang out for a while. With in about 45 min we were told to go home as the game had been cancelled. It only took us about 2 1/2 hours to get home that night. JDragon [/QUOTE]
