MATCHDAY #3 LADY VOLS ⚽️ Thread: Next Up ‘Texas A&M’ 7pm @Regal Stadium(Admission is Free)

“Away stand” was a new term to be digested. Then rejected. I understand a little creativity. Not understanding standard sports colloquialisms is a bridge too far.
Since we don't have a professional pregame host to blather on about nothing that is pertinent to the match...

[SIAP] It's standard among journalists world wide to try to avoid using the same word twice in a story. For example, every story about a fire will likely refer to it in the second sentence as "the blaze" and so forth.

In British press circles, these second-mention synonyms have come to be known as knobbly monsters.
This name comes from an infamous BBC broadcast tabloid article in which the reporter's second reference to a crocodile was... yes...
"the knobbly monster."
