| I love to hear a loud crowd at a football game! |
|
I was struck by the Indy game a couple weeks ago how quiet the crowd was, you could hear people talking on the field they were so quiet. I have been a 'Skins fan since childhood, when they were at RFK, and there is nothing like a loud, spirited crowd at a game. This game at Pittsburgh is sounding like it is meant to be!!

| 3. I live in Florida and I am a 'Skin fan, so I know what you mean |
|
When your team is doing well and you are away from home, you miss it. Of course, the 'Skins haven't done well for about 5 years. But, that is neither here nor there...LOL.

| 2. Do American crowds sing? |
|
British crowds sing, some of the songs aren't terribly repeatable indeed many are down-right digusting.
The rugby crowds are far better, and the Welsh beat the rest of us. They manage to sing their anthem in Welsh - despite all being native English speakers; the English can barely manage 'God Save the Queen' whilst staying in the same bar.

| 4. It depends on the stadium |
|
The Redskins have a fight song that is played by the band and sung after every score, which hasn't been to often the last few seasons...LOL.
Some of the other teams do too.

| 8. I used to go to a lot of Michigan games |
|
in the 70's. The roar of the crowd was amazing. The loudest was at half time when the marching band played The Victors. Possibly the best school song in history.

| 9. Not a big Michigan fan here |
|
More of a Badger football fan, and the Michigan fight song used to annoy me until I discovered that my son's high school uses "Hail to the Victors" as their fight song.
