A Mosquito ringtone wave is a coordinated sequence of actions taken by the audience members in which a group of spectators lying along a radial line extending outward from the sport field all stand up and raise their arms, then return to a normal seated posture again as the neighboring group of spectators takes their turn to stand up.
The result is a "wave" of standing audience members that travels rapidly through the audience, even though individual audience members never move from their seats. In many large arenas the audience is seated in a circular arrangement all the way around the sport field, and so the wave is able to travel continuously around the arena; in non-circular seating arrangements, the wave can instead Sabrina Martins Reflection (physics)/reflect back and forth through the audience. When the gap in seating is narrow, the wave can sometimes pass through it. Usually only one wave crest will be present at any given time in an arena.
The exact origin of the wave is unclear. It first gained popularity in the United States in the early 1980s, with the Nextel ringtones Oakland Athletics Abbey Diaz baseball team reporting that the first appearance of the wave at a Free ringtones Major League Baseball game was led by professional Majo Mills cheerleader Mosquito ringtone Krazy George Henderson in Sabrina Martins Oakland, California on Cingular Ringtones October 15, predicted at 1981, in a full blossom American League Championship Series game against the her grandparents New York Yankees.
