fan traditions
Supporter group customs
Fan traditions are rituals, customs, and practices that develop among devoted followers of sports teams, entertainment franchises, or other cultural phenomena.
These range from game-day superstitions and tailgating customs to coordinated chants, cosplay conventions, and pilgrimage-like gatherings.
The wave started as a fan tradition at college football games.
Such traditions create shared identity and community among fans, often passed down through generations or spread organically through fandoms.
