Plot: A man with pipe and smoking jacket relaxes in his easy chair as he listens to a football game on the radio. The announcer wishes everyone was with him at the stadium. With that, the fan at home dreams of a recent trip to the stadium to watch a game with his date. They enter the wrong gate and must fight the crowd to find their seats. There they are bothered by a loud fan, an inebriated one, and other interruptions. His date also asks him a series of questions about the game, suggesting she's completely unfamiliar with how the game is played. The comments of the excited announcer continue as rain falls. Back at home, the reverie ends.
