The video you've referenced about American vs. European sports fans purposefully made the video seem as if American fans are less passionate about our sports. The reality is you will NEVER find any other sports fans worldwide that have the amount of attendance, level of participation, support, and passion for their sports teams than America. As an American, we are used to people attempting to make us look bad because they can't compete.
Also, not all the clips that they used were bad; but I could tell the volume was purposefully turned down for the American fans
Ofcourse americans are very passionate about sports. The culture is just different, but that doesn't mean anyone is less passionate. But i would like to see some more ultra style fans in America like the ones we have here in europe, all the chants in this video seem very coordinated but here in europe the fans chant without stadium speakers
@@robin97rv I have seen the sports chants in European and they seem bland, nonsensical, and sometimes hostile. There seems to be much animosity with European sport fans which is unpleasant to watch. I prefer our happy atmosphere, large attendence (much bigger that Europe), fan chants, songs, team color coordination, musical bands, cheerleaders, and half time performance. It's more exciting and fun than Europe's sports atmosphere. People have different taste so it's a matter of what appeals to you.
@@traceygriffin8506 yeah true it's a matter of taste, i have a season ticket for a soccer club in the netherlands and i love the chants and the atmosphere. I would love to visit a nfl game or something in America, we don't have things like tailgating but it seems a lot of fun and i want to experience it once before i can really judge.
@@robin97rv Although people's ways of supporting their sports teams are different, one thing common around the world is the love and passion for the game and teams. I do hope you can experience the American sports atmosphere it's awesome.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not, but the loudest recorded stadium noise by fans was recorded at Arrowhead Stadium, Chiefs v Patriots in 2014. 142.2 decibels which is louder than a jet plane taking off.
Americans are very passionate about their sports
I’ve never been a huge sports fan (watching on tv). But living in KC I will go to the games just because the energy is just so intense, fun and contagious.
I was coming on here to share that fact because it certainly wasn't mentioned in the video!
I also don't think this guy understands that a few clips are professional arenas while most are college - definitely a difference in energy/party mood!
They might have the record in decibels, but the Seahawks caused a mini-earthquake so...
We in Kansas City are pretty damn proud of how loud we are at Arrowhead.
Yup, europe can't compete
Went to college at WVU and I cannot describe the great feeling singing Country Roads with 60,000+ people. Love it!!!
Go 'Eers!
WEEEEEESSSST VIRGINAAAAAAAA
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Also- anyone else here for sweet caroline telling "eat sh!t pitt"
You would also go crazy if you saw the tailgate parties before the game! Like hundreds of food stands with bars basically. Come and go to a COLLEGE game here for sure! ❤
Watching these places is cool and all but you HAVE to feel the energy in person. That's a vibe!
My daughter attends Penn State. They have a lot more songs than just Sweet Caroline. The crowds are amazing! Oh, and in case you ask why there is so much "white" at Penn State - those clips were filmed at the yearly "White Out" game.
10:12 it's really cool to see an entire stadium singing and arm in arm with a song that is older than the majority off the crowd😆 When Michigan State fans were chanting "YES!", there was a wrestler at the time named Daniel Bryan and to pump the fans, he would shout Yes and pump his arms.
While I’m not really a sports fan (shocker I know), I’ve had field trips to the 2 big local state college’s games, and one of my fondest memories is screaming We Will Rock You by Queen with my friends and the crowd, alongside watching the cheerleaders choreography.
My favorite moments that I was personally a part of was during Game 5 of the 2016 World Series. I was in Chicago and they won at home to keep the series alive and they eventually won the whole thing. The significance of the events can't be understated because it was the first time the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series since 1945 and they hadn't won the World Series in 108 years. There is a song that was made just for the Cubs called Go Cubs Go and it was sung so loud that I can hear it my Apartments multiple blocks down.
That whole two weeks between the LCS and WS, I’ve never seen Wrigley rocking like that. Imagine us cubs fans making it that loud all season.
This is a great video because it shows you how many people are there.. Attendance numbers.
College fans are the greatest! IMO professional teams’ “spirit” can’t hold a candle to the energy, enthusiasm and hype of college football teams, students and fans. Truly THE most fun to watch!
Iowa coming out to back in black is extremely underrated in my opinion. I may be a Hawkeye fan but the blood pumping during that song keading to the entrance is insane
Oh my God I'm late to the party but this is my absolute favorite video that I've watched on your channel! Singing sweet Caroline and build me up buttercup was absolutely the best! I'm with you, I wanna be there too, where ever THERE might because it's nothing but good vibes and great times! Thank you for making my heart happy!
The South Carolina Stadium shakes when everyone is cheering and jumping.
The baseball one is during playoffs that's why it's so loud, a normal game is nothing like that.
I was there, and will happily be back again during game 1 of the upcoming Orioles playoff series
Baseball games are 🔥 too ... nothing like drinking beer and a cheeseburger while yelling at the umpire 😌
@@alexanderrose1071Go Orioles ✊🏿
Love it when you say WHAAAAT??? 😂😂😂
I TRULY hope you have a chance to experience this someday! Your reactions were incredible!
Fire! I remember Pep Rallys at school in Fridays we had TV cameras because we had championship team mostly. So many girls and ppl from different towns during Football season. And the music and crowd are always awesome.
I gotta say 1) yes, I love soccer, but that video acted like Americans are all just the “fight and win” guy lol. But also 2) College is soooo much more lit than NFL bc it’s so regional. Not every state has an NFL team, so like me, from Alabama, we have 2 massive football teams that we treat with life and death. That’s why college has such a more massive, transitioned and dedicated fan base
Getting mad at fight and win also puts you as someone who’s never bothered to look at the lyrics in other languages. Fight and win is literally the same as a German chant
One of the most electric atmospheres you’ll experience is when Texas and Oklahoma play each other during the Texas state fair at the historic Cotton Bowl stadium. Even watching it at home you can feel the energy from the crowd.
The loudest football stadium on a college campus is Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge Louisiana.
It's not even a debate. The crowds have been known to register on a seismograph. The earth literally moves when the crowds get rocking.
It's unbelievable that the LSU fans were not displayed.
They are one of the most hostile stadiums to go to as a visitor lol.
@@Yerocco LSU is known for their pregame Tailgating. The visiting teams fans have to park away from the stadium and walk through the tens of thousands of LSU fans to get to the stadium. The entire walk towards the stadium the LSU fans scream TIGER BAIT, TIGER BAIT over and over at them the whole way. It's so funny to see those people looking around like, what the f**k is happening. lol
@@MrJAbear1 and become violent, and destroy other teams property. Some of the worst fans are tigers fans. I’ll never go back.
Louisiana is a violent state in general. Grew up there rarely go back, for that reason.
@@bwsinfonia13 Wrong.
Please never come back to Louisiana.
I went to the University of Utah and in the stadium we have a college of Geology's seismometer installed to pick up "UteQuakes" (it was actually installed as part of safety precautions but it's part of the fun and excitement of pumping up fans). Our campus also sits right near several canyons and very large mountains and you can hear people cheering super far into the city and like a mile away. It's awesome!
I love your enthusiasm for the US. 💙 ❤ the British too.
Something they didn't tell you on the video about the Wisconsin Badgers ( jump a round ) is that it registers on the ricktor scale 8 miles away from the stadium.
I wonder what its like leaving for home after a stadium filled with over 100,000 fans. I can't imagine.
PORTLAND, Oregon!!! We do love our soccer here.
This is the same energy at.... High school games... We(Americans) will get hype for anything and we take our rivalries and regional pride cookbook seriously, while partying our collective butts off
College football is an experience, absolutely awesome!
You must come to a college football game. Forget NFL. College football is where it's at. So many traditions in each place is unreal 💯💯💯💯💯
I haven’t seen one of these videos show a UNC basketball atmosphere… but when we play our bitter rival Duke, before the game starts we play jump around and it’s so hype
"Fight Songs" and chants start in High Scool.. but they really graduate to another level in college.
(BTW, most schools in the U.S. have their own "Fight" song. I can still remember most of my High School's and I definitely sing the U of Iowa fight song every Saturday this time of year ((even though I left college a decade ago.)))
College football stadiums are the largest in the US
College football and basketball are the best atmospheres! There are literally hundreds and hundreds of venues across the country to experience these vibes. I've been to college basketball games that were so loud that you couldn't talk to the person next to you, even if you were screaming directly into their ears.
And you go home so hoarse that you can’t speak properly for a week!
You got hyped up about the video at 6:17 but don’t even realize there’s 5 seconds left and the game is on the line…. That’s why the crowd is so insane
This was electrifying! Most Europeans have no idea about US college sports, and especially about the football scene. I do not think that there is anything like this in Europe. I remember a video of Stephen Fry coming over here and visiting all 50 states, and he went to one college football game, and all he could say was "I don't get it". And keep in mind that this is across the whole country in the Fall, and stadiums vary in size from about 50,000 to 115,000. For the more successful teams or season's, these stadiums are usually full. College football is played every Saturday, and the NFL is on Sundays, and a couple of night during the week. So, these two never overlay each other.
I loved your reactions!!! I use to play high school football, but when I went to college, the players were huge, and I thought that I would get killed, so I did not join! I lived in the dorm, and got to meet a lot of the college team.
Now at this point you guys making you're own happiness idk how you have the audacity to say that 😂😂😂
I grew up in a college town about a half mile from the football stadium. After each touchdown a cannon is fired with a loud boom heard far and wide. So even if you don't go to the game you can hear what's going on.
So, Auburn beat Florida State (the team with the cool war chant) at Auburn back 30 years ago or so and we started doing their war chant, but using our 'battle cry' which is 'WAR EAGLE'. Wa-ar Ea-ea-gle, Wa-ar Ea-ea-gle' over and over as we taunted the players leaving the field. It was glorious.
IN MY VIEW
Americans don't care about a video comparing European and American attendance because we are here LIVING IT.
Sweet Caroline is also sung in Boston at Red Sox Baseball games.
The kids jumping up and down at the basketball game were at a college game.
My fav clip is Florida singing”Won’t Back Down” the weekend after Tom Petty died…
My first year at West Point, Tsunami became really popular among cadets leading up to the Army Navy game. Even though we knew we were going to lose any time Tsunami played we’d go crazy and confused the hell out of everyone. When you’re forced to go to a game that you know will upset you, you gotta make your own fun.
Penn State Alumni here and college football is the best atmosphere in any American sport. Its to the extreme, I was sitting there so long being like how can they not include Penn State. WE ARE!!!
ua-cam.com/video/IZ_URgvBh7M/v-deo.html the night before games
It gets louder at basketball games than football games because it's indoor. I'd say the football environment is more fun but basketball can be fucking loud as hell when your team is good 😂
Hey Europe, keep in mind that most of the sports in this video aren't even professional but College.
Why you guys make you're own happiness 😂
This is the country’s anthem!!! We in the USA play it befor every sports venue
12:45 - I graduated from the University of South Carolina, we are the Gamecocks and the Sandstorm is done at every football game. That’s the student section that they’re showing, as students we got free tickets to all home games! Great times! In the South, going to a college football game is kind of like going to a formal dance, ladies wear dresses, and gentlemen wear nice button up shirts with ties and khaki pants. Of course some do but others don’t. I personally thought it was too hot outside to be wearing all that! And tailgating all day outside the stadium before the game starts is a must!
That clip of #85 for Arkansas was insane! I can't believe that I didn't recognize that play. You gotta check out Joe Adam's punt return against Tennessee.
If you really want your first US sporting event to be the best atmosphere you can make it… go to a college American Football game. They are way more exciting than a professional game. If it is a playoff game or if the two universities playing are rivals such as University of Texas (UT) Longhorns vs Texas A&M Aggies. It will ALWAYS be an absolutely amazing experience!!! Time your trip accordingly… and ENJOY!!!
Don't turn it down for us brother!!! Turn it up!!! 😄😁👊🏼👍🏼
Texas A&M was singing their school song. Every high school, college and university has one.
The Auburn Tigers on the field was the halftime performance.
When a Cleveland team had finally won the national championships for the first time in 52 years back in 2016 (the Cleveland Cavaliers had won), we held a massive parade which had over 1 million people in attendance.
We also held a parade when the Cleveland Browns became the second team in the NFL to go 0-16 in 2017, losing every single game that season. A ‘perfect season 2.0’, if you will. A few thousand people attended that one, I think, and the parade route went in a zero around the browns stadium.
make sure you go when a college is playing against a rival team! it's insane
No, it’s not the Texas national anthem. Here in the states basically every school has the fight song or Alma Motter.
Being on the field at bryant denny stadium (alabama) with 100k ppl screaming at 1 time is beyond insane!
I love that in the Wisconsin buttercup clip the game clock is paused at 6:08 which is our area code
The truly enthusiastic crowds are college/university fans.
Millions of parents, players, fans etc come together every week for football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse and I do mean millions and we all try to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time. If we had trouble or problems everyone would hear about it on the news but for as many people that get together... not to many problems.
In my humble opinion for American Sports:
Best tradition~
Wisconsin Badgers: Jump Around
Best atmosphere~
Penn State: White Out Game
Best song~
Tennessee: Rocky Top
Also gotta love Pitt doing Sweet Caroline, and West Virginia doing Country Roads!
I agree with best tradition going to Wisconsin! I'm an Iowa fan who loves their tradition!
The Penn State White Out Games, are incorrect and something you just gotta see in person!
There are more people in these stadiums than there are in many towns.
I’m late to the party. But cubs fans singing “go cubs go” at Wrigley Field is amazing.
That's the real America.
The fans were shouting "LET'S GO PITT" for the University of Pittsburgh Panthers.
Sweet Caroline was better in in Millennial Stadium or whatever Wales calls it now, ‘99 quarter final RWC v Oz, I was crying when they sang Bread from Heaven
Encore part 2 to this video is better than part 1. 156,000+ people at college game and More partying type crowds
Nothing like Rocky Top being sung in a packed Neyland Stadium, Go Vols!
These are college games. The whole student body and friends and family attend. They are wild!
The name says it all. Cheerleader - a person that leads cheers.
Omg! My favorite college team, the Iowa Hawkeyes, at 5:25! I love going to Kinnick Stadium. Our entrance is so fun! GO HAWKS!
I think it was Wisconsin where they actually studied the stadium to make sure it could handle the jumping
no VT i’m pretty sure
8:25 my hometown! Go VOLS!
Didn't get the chills till Michigan State appeared ... and I'm a Penn State fan !
There were a few pro games in there, but many, if not most, were college games.
Just seen a great college football video.... "Get off Me'... stiff arm given by players. Great video to check out...
oooo this sounds good, ill watch it today!
Dude! College football hype gets crazy here in the USA. Games are so fun to attend. I would recommend going to a game to anyone who comes visits the states.
8:08 fun fact: Texas *was* its own country from 1836-1845.
Lewis, bro I saw that video you’re referring to, I was really confused. I kept wondering when they were going to show the American fans, then the video ended. It ended! And in typical Lewis fashion I said to myself, “WHAAAAT?” Then I went back and realized the first 3 seconds of the video were the American fans and the rest was all Europa. I live in Arizona and the crowds at Mckale Center (basketball) at the University of Arizona in Tucson are, as you say, mad! Up north in Phoenix we have the Diamondbacks (Pro baseball) in Glendale the Cardinals (pro football) and both stadiums have AC with retractible roofs (because it’s so damn hot here , lmao)! Imagine the sound inside when the roof is closed! Yep, we are American and we LOVE our sports!
Europeans make fun of us for our “soccer” chants and compare to Europe, but that has never been the most popular sport here, you should compare European football chants to college football
yeah ill try to find a video!
the fact that these are college sporting events make it 10x better
Music plays throughout every game especially pro games
i’m from florida and live here so i’m for the gators, bucs for footnall, tampa bay rays for baseball, and tampa bay lighting for hockey.
Here in America for players. This is what we call our glory days. 🎉woohoo! 🙂👍
Always love the stripe the stadium games. I just looks really cool.
How do they have a video sweet Caroline but not at Fenway Park?
9:05 Bama's chant sounds almost exactly like the chant my OU Sooners used to do.
"We're gonna BEAT the HELL out of YOU!!! And YOU!! And YOU, and YOU, and YOU!!"
But unfortunately the artist that produced that song got thrown into prison for messing with underage kids, so we don't use it anymore.. 🙄 It would have to be ours it happened to. Now all we got is our default "Boomer Sooner!" chants.
We need another that isn't copying someone else's chant or song choice.. But it's difficult to come up with something original that isn't forced.
Edit: 9:30 Wait, Auburn does a similar chant as well??.. And that's the song playing in the background that I mentioned earlier.. I wonder if they still do it.
You gotta check out some of the MLS stadiums or videos soccer is actually growing in America and the fans too
Yep, that's us!
Lew, we start celebrating sport of all
Kinda from the time children are old enough to participate!!! And it just keeps going and going and going!!!
The Yes chant was in reference to a WWE superstars Yes Chant.
The Wisconsin Badgers do that at the end of the 3rd quarter and they have recorded seismic activity when the fans jump around.
Im from Maryland USA and our football team is the Baltimore Ravens. Our entrance song and pump up song has been Kick Ass by Egypt Central. If you want an Awesome song ... check this out!!!
In the US many places do not have professional sports nearby, so people can become huge fans of College Sports. Also, Americans get very little vacation time and Football is played on fall weekends, College on Saturday, and Pro (NFL) on Sundays. So, Americans use this opportunity to get in some well deserved partying!! LOL.
You need to watch the greatest halftime marching band performance The Fighting Texas Aggie Band. And they were singing g rhe Aggie War Hymn Saw Varsity's Horns Off.
I still go college games. They're a blast bro 🙌
We Americans love sports. You should do a video about professional sports.
What pride we have when we sing our national anthem
If you wanna see just a "few" people jumping around you need to react to ACDC playing Thunderstruck live in River Platte. You will not be disappointed
U of M football games often have over 100k people in the stadium. Best atmosphere ever!
biggest stadium in NA
Another big reason its SOOOO loud at college football games (someone can correct me if Im wrong and NFL does have it) but in college football if the "home-field" crowd is loud enough a team may use one of their limited timeouts because the players cant hear each other holler the play call (American football in College). I cant remember if the away team gets anything positive out of that like home team getting something negative but I know it's happened at the PSU Whiteout Games (or a well known clip of games like Michigan vs Penn State) and other college games quite a bit!
Yes, cheerleaders are there to get people cheering so the team hears the fans supporting them. It doesn’t take a lot of encouragement though to get people off their feet at some games.
