Bleacher vocal traditions
Stadium chants are rhythmic, repeated phrases sung or shouted in unison by sports fans during games.
They range from simple call-and-response patterns to elaborate songs with team-specific lyrics.
Chants create collective energy, intimidate opponents, and express devotion to a team: The stadium chants grew deafening as the home team took the field.
Some become iconic to particular clubs or venues.
