EVER been to a ticketed hockey match in the country? The small (in comparison to cricket arenas) but atmospheric grounds can work up quite the din, especially when India have the ball and are breaking forward in numbers.
At first, the build-up of noise is slow.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI TROUNCES TRUMPISM
Democratic sweeps in other key races, exposes the fragility of Trump's grip. It's a national referendum on the man's corrosive legacy. Voters in the nation's largest city, a microcosm of America's diversity, rejected Trump's exclusionary toolkit with visceral force. Mamdani turned the race into a personal battleground of identities, where heritage became both shield and sword. However, this very emphasis on leftist ideals could exacerbate national divisions. Mamdani's policies threaten to weaken the fight against illegal immigration and balloon expenditures on social measures, potentially straining the city's and the country's resources at a time when prudence is paramount.
