Not sure why I'm squinted.
Yes those are flares! All around the stadium. Near the bottom left of the picture you can see the "retaining wall."So we all went to a Naples Soccer game last night. Like most sports its even better in person.
Picture college football enthusiasm with a lack of common law we enforce at games. Top it off with the fact that Naples has a good team, and it was a great experience.
The two end zones are the cheap seats that the rowdy fans get and crowd into. On each side of the sections there is a big plexi-glass wall keeping them in. There are no cheerleaders as we know them to be. Instead there are a couple people at the front of the groups leading/ coordinating various chants, cheers, etc.
The visitor section is completely enclosed in a protective screened area.
If the fans see something they don't like or want to have the crowd noise be a factor they ALL whistle. It turns into this thousands strong, high pitched, ear piercing noise...
I didn't look for it, but I don't think they serve beer in the stadium...
Naples won. 1-0.
