stadium anthem

Crowd-sung sports song

A stadium anthem is a song designed or adopted for mass participation at sporting events and concerts—characterized by simple, singable melodies, anthemic choruses, and builds that invite crowd involvement.

Think foot-stomping, fist-pumping songs like "We Will Rock You" or "Sweet Caroline" that translate well to tens of thousands of voices: The DJ played every stadium anthem in the book to keep the energy up.
