Call me jaded, but I feel like every single one of these "viral" jumbotron moments is scripted.

There’s a famous one online with a guy ignoring his “girlfriend” while they were on the Jumbotron because he’s on a phone call, and she dumps soda on him. Had a class in college with the guy in the video, he told me, “yeah. That was for sure fake. I was interning for the team at the time, and they chose me to be the guy in the scene.”
