The grassy knoll area of the stadium, on the far end zone of the field, started to fill at the end of the first quarter with students. By the middle of the second quarter, the area was populated about 10 rows deep with spectators who were not following the signs layed out to stand six feet apart.

Police, prior to halftime, blocked off the area and began the process clearing the entirety of the section.
