seafoam1 2,798 Posted October 16, 2023 Aside from the wonderful violent philthy eagles regular activities, what you got? The Chicago Blackhawks fans started this is 1985. To me this is the single most goosebump producing tradition that fans have started in any sport. Focking love being a part of it in a raging Blackhawk stadium. 1985 The tradition for fans to applaud and cheer loudly from start to finish during the singing of the national anthem originated before Game 3 of the 1985 conference finals at Chicago Stadium.

Mike Honcho 5,085 Posted October 16, 2023 Jump Around at Camp Randall student section. Happened after I graduated. I've been back to games since then, but I'm not a student anymore nobody in the other sections jumps...To be honest though, I'm not sure I could jump for the entire song now.

seafoam1 2,798 Posted October 17, 2023 Here's a good one. Oh...it's philthy. Philadelphia Eagles fans celebrate the team's victory in the NFL Super Bowl 52 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots, Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, in downtown Philly. Philly riots Thousands of Philadelphia Eagles celebrated the NFL team's first ever Super Bowl victory Sunday night, and some of the fun turned violent. Videos and photos show looting, cars overturned, street lights toppled, fires set, fights, and extensive property damage. More than a dozen people fell when they climbed on top of the Ritz-Carlton hotel awning and it collapsed. The Philly police scanner even included reports of police horses stolen, an off-duty cop arrested, bottles thrown, assaults, and people setting off fireworks. There was even an unconfirmed rumor that an ostrich had been stolen from the local zoo. It's unclear how much damage occurred, and numbers aren't immediately available for arrests and injuries. Most of the incidents occurred along Broad Street in Center City, where fans young and old chanted "Fly Eagles Fly" in an area packed with green and white jerseys for nearly half a mile.

When the Blackhawks were at the top of their game and winning championships, being in that building was surreal during the anthem. Hell, the whole games were surreal.

Voltaire 5,181 Posted October 17, 2023 3 hours ago, BeenHereBefore said: The Wave was cool until it wasn't. I always thought that we invented the wave in Detroit during the Tigers 1984 run, but reading about it, it started on the west coast. They credit the former Colorado Rockies hockey team, the Oakland A's and the Washington Huskies football program. Apparently Bo Schembechler had brought it to UM football home games from the west coast after playing the Huskies the fall before. With a lot of crossover baseball fans, the 84 Tigers fans do get a mention in the Wikipedia entry because we made it popular due to all those televised games during that magical summer that ended winning the World Series. So we were very early, but not the first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never dig the Tomhawk chop though that the Chiefs and Braves do. Think the chiefs gave up on it though but Braves fans still do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
