The Kansas City Chiefs where they were singing the Star-Spangled Banner are the ones who won the Super Bowl, and the team that has the player that is dating Taylor Swift!
The Baltimore Orioles is a baseball team here in Baltimore, Maryland where I am from and that is where the bridge collapsed from the shipping container and I ran into the bridge and if you have not watched that look that up because it’s insane
As an Ohio State fan that happens to live on the boarder of Michigan, "The Big House" (AKA Michigan football stadium) is HUGE. I have been there 2x. It is a recessed bowl... meaning the field is like 4 stories below ground level. Ann Arbor is also a very cool town, even if I personally hate their sports teams ;)
The second video, the Boston Bruins crowd singing the national anthem happened right after the Boston Marathon Bombing. It was a very emotional and moving moment.
You should check out the tradition at Iowa university where everyone waves to the children’s hospital that over looks the field. All players and the crowd stop and turn to the hospital to wave at these children that are suffering from severe illness and look forward to seeing the game every time the team plays at home. It’s very, very moving.
Your reactions make me genuinely smile. It is a nice change to see America from the eyes of someone that does not live in the States. Thank you for your kind words
John Denver christened the new Mountaineer football stadium when he performed Country Roads during the pre-game festivities before the Mountaineers faced Cincinnati in the 1980 season opener. We now sing Country Roads after every home victory. I try to get home for at least two WVU football games a year. So much fun.
John Denver toured colleges for years before producing big hits. He gave a concert at my college in the early 70s. Near the end of the concert, he said he would introduce his new song to us, Country Roads. It was wonderful. It first aired on the radio a few weeks later and became a monster smash hit. So, I can legitimately boast that I heard the song before almost anyone else did in the country.
I've always found it super intriguing how good it feels to have a large crowd of people just sing a song or chant a team slogan together. whether it's sports stadiums, the crowd favorite "sing along" at a concert, or a large church singing hymns they all give such a feeling of unity.
If you take a step back and think about it, it really is a mind boggling thing to witness tens of thousands of bipedal apes, all singing or chanting in unison... it's fascinating to think about how truly crazy it is how we've evolved such complex social behaviors that are performed at such large scales. We're such weird animals lol :)
That the biggest rivalry, only to michiganders and ohioans. The rest of the country could care less, we have our own "biggest" rivalry. The greatest rivalry in this country is Army v Navy, always has been and always will be. Just because you think you fought a war in which neither side could get their musket balls across the river does not make it the "biggest" rivalry. And comparing the size of stadiums is like another size comparison competition single-celled organism like to partake in.
I never said a word about what people like or not. I questioned the claim that michigan and ohio st are the BIGGEST rivalry, Its a completely false claim. To me its just as moronic of a claim as calling the dallas cowboys America's team.
Andre. When you said that even though you are not an American, you would definitely love to come to America and sing our National Anthem. I started to cry. It really makes my heart swell with pride for my country. To know that someone from across an ocean can understand how much it means to us to have pride and passion for our country and it's flag. And you understand what our flag represents. Thank you so very much my friend. Thank you. And much ❤ and blessings to you and your family. From the Great State of Texas 🇺🇸
The one with the Boston bruins has a story. It was shortly after the Boston Marathon Bombing. The city had been on a lockdown while they searched for the perpetrators. That was one of the first sports event afterwards. It was Boston standing together saying the terrorists they had failed and that Boston was not afraid!
The song "Build Me Up, Buttercup" was a hit song in 1968 by the music group The Foundations. Buttercup is a small bright yellow flower. It is also used as a term of endearment.
@@DaGoonR I couldn't help but think of "... as you wish..." from The Princess Bride when you said that :D That movie has been one of my all time favorites for 30 years
"If I go to America I will be singing the national anthem" - Why not. When I was in Canada I attended an outdoor performance of the Vancouver Symphony and sang "Oh, Canada" as well as I could.
i attended high school in Taiwan, with a very mixed student body. every time we had assembly we'd sing the Star Spangled Banner, but then some of us sang the Taiwanese anthem. I still remember it 60 years later.
I love Oh Canada, that is a great national anthem. I shows so much pride in the country. The national anthem of the U.K. doesn't resonate with me as it celebrates the monarchy.
There is a mix of pro and college. College kids tend to have more energy. You forget there are 50 states and most have state colleges: Utah State, Ohio State, Michigan State etc
More people are invested in college teams. The game attendees are not just students and their families, but generations of alumni and people from the community and the states they are in. Most people can't go to an NFL game, but a university game is always just a "short" drive away!!!
Most states have a state college and a state university. With some having a Eastern, Western, Northern, or/and Southern also. As well as Technical colleges and other specialities. There is 363 Division 1 schools in 49 states, 313 Division 2 schools, and 442 Division 3 schools. And then there are all of the junior college level schools which total about 1000. So there is no shortage of schools to choose to cheer for.
This video he watched seem to be mostly SEC, BIG10, BIGXII, AND ACC. UTAH ST basketball was there also but that adds up to mostly what people watch. @@burnout_2017
Ohio State -- Michigan State -- Penn State three powerhouses of the "Big 10(12)" conference. Michigan State has the largest stadium, followed very closely by Penn State. each seat over 100,000 people. *_"WE ARE... PENN STATE!"_*
Sweet Caroline actually became famous by Boston Red Sox Baseball in Massachusetts. Neil Diamond writer and singer came to sing in person after suicide bombers atta ked the Boston marathon. Britain now uses this song
Jump around at Wisconsin registers on the richter scale as an earthquake. Everyone loves Jump Around but as a wisconsin fan, singing buttercup when the speaker cuts out and the game is still going is so fun
As a Nebraska Football fan, I was disappointed to see that the wave wasn’t in that video. The atmosphere and fans here is just amazing, and it’s an awesome experience to be at a game The volleyball team also has a great atmosphere and I recommend you check out some Nebraska games!
2 hell yeah react to part 2 Those stadiums get so loud on the field that they rival plane engines taking off. Stadium noise 100 to 135 decibels. Outside the plane when a Boeing 747 jet is taking off 130 to 140 decibels. The jumping up and down in the stadium shakes the ground underneath so much it gets picked up by earthquake detection equipment.
There have been several occasions that a college football stadium has been picked up by seismic detectors. So, technically the fans have created a small earthquake. That’s mind boggling. And as a West Virginian we would love to have you visit us my friend.
As a Wisconsin football fan who"s been to Camp Randall several times, I can say this about our two clips: Jump Around happens between the third and fourth quarters, and is insane. Everyone's jumping, and the whole stadium shakes. TV commentators have said that even the press box shakes. Buttercup plays during a commercial break, usually in the second half. Not only is everyone singing, but when the song stops playing over the speakers (after the break is over and the game resumes) everyone still sings. On Wisconsin!
3:27 This is the biggest Rivalry in the MLS, Major League Soccer. Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon are on the same highway. The Seattle Sounders have their Boom Boom Clap chant and the Portland Timbers have their PTFC chant and they were fighting eachother with their chants in this video. And unlike European Soccer we can actually sit next to someone who wears the other teams colors and not get into a fight over it.
There's a part 2 for this and in it is the "go cubs go" song in game 5 of the world series in 2016 where the Chcago Cubs won the world series for the first time in 108 years. We have a song called "Go Cubs Go," and i've never heard the city of Chicago louder than that night singing it. We were down in the series 3-1 and needed to win that game or it was over and we ended up coming back and winning at all. The parade for the championship was the 7th largest gathering in human history 😂
Wasn't that some event! Biggest ever for Chicago, for sure. Almost as big as the pope's coronation, if not bigger. Towns,small cities and suburbs took trains and subways into Chicago. Three extra large venue areas had to be opened up to accommodate the influx of all Chicago humanity that day! WOW!
Go Blue!... thats a University Of Michigan reference. Yes... the best college team... dont care about anyone elses opinion. Lol. Born and raised in Michigan... the stadium is where I spent my weekends, from 18, to 25. Epic times.
Build me up buttercup This tradition started simply because of peoples' love for the song, according to the WAA, and its popularity grew after the song was featured in the 1998 film, “There's Something About Mary.” The fans loved participating in this new tradition, so by the 2000s the song was played at almost all games.
Was born and raised in Ohio.... live in Tennessee for about 30 yrs now... stull pull for Ohio State... but my grandaughter graduated from University of Tennessee.... we cheer them on now too. The collage football is way more popular then the professional teams ❤
I have been dying laighing this entire reaction!!! You are so hilarious!!! 😂 "Buttercup" is a term of endearment. Its also a flower. "Build me up, Buttercup" is sung by "The Foundations"
I live in New Jersey but went to Seattle right when the Sounders were playing the New York Redbulls so I thought, why not go to a game... The atmosphere there is unlike any other stadium minus Portlands. It feels like you are at a European Football match with the energy and passion those fans bring.
"my teams are Michigan and Ohio and you cant do anything about it" I laughed HARD at this. It's possibly the biggest rivalry in College football hahaha
"2" Awesome video as always. I love this one but so many more cool atmospheres to check out in part 2. Seeing the excitement watching this brought to you says all you need to know about whether you should watch more. Im glad you got to see a little more about how loud a college basketball game can get but this didnt show off how insane some of those crowds can be. The nicknames of the "student sections" in the crowds like "crazies" or "kennel" or "grateful red" speaks for itself. Now would be an awesome time to learn more about college basketball since it has the greatest championship tournament ever called March Madness....happening in a few weeks Also baseball crowds can get pretty crazy as well as you saw with Baltimore. There are a few videos about the loudest baseball crowds that would be cool if you reacted to. Even maybe one about hockey. Keep learning more about America through our sports fandoms!!
The song "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, isnt about North or South Carolina. He, not too long ago, said he wrote the song after seeing a sweet photo of Caroline Kennedy in 1969.
“My English not my language but what the hell is that word”? Gamecocks 😂😂 knew it was coming, made me laugh so hard this morning thanks. Cocks were roosters or chickens back in the day.
No, the song is SWEET CAROLINE... not CAROLINA. It has nothing to do with North or South Carolina. A gamecock is a rooster bred for cockfighting. A wolverine is very large and ferocious relative of the weasel family.
The first 5.40 minutes is pro sports, the rest is all college. Michigan Stadium @ 22.30 is the 3rd largest stadium in the world, bigger than anything in Europe. What's incredible is that unlike in Europe where you have football hooliganism and sometimes rioting, at US sporting events there is rarely any fighting or violence other than perhaps a couple of drunk individuals in the stands. Widespread fighting is practically unheard of. People go to show their pride and have fun.
The University of Oklahoma team name is the Sooners. It is in reference to the Oklahoma land rush of the late 1800s. The teams mascots are Boomer and Sooner (the 2 horses pulling the wagon.) The Conestoga wagon is called the "Boomer Schooner". One side of the stadium is shouting "BOOMER!!! then the other side answers, "SOONER!!!"
I agree with you. There should definitely be more of this in the world. We all have much more in common than we think. We all love our families and friends.
4:12 and that's our soccer game aka Football in Seattle Washington the same field the Seattle Seahawks which is a American Football team play and host home games. I been hearing certain countries said we dont do big on Soccer they have no idea how big sports are in America we always there
I don't mind the pauses at all, the only time I get aggravated is when they're playing the national anthem, or Phil Collins In the Air Tonight,you don't pause during the drum solo,😉 other than that cheers I did enjoy you going back and look at how many people there were! A good thing for trivia you might want to take this video and study the teams in the histories, and what rivalries there are, there's also the Army-Navy game, there's a movie that I would recommend that you watch, it's called Rudy. It's a bit of an old one but it's a good film. And because West Virginia is my home Though I live in Florida, there's another University in West Virginia called Marshall. They made a film about it a few years ago and about the tragedy with their football team! It's a good film as well! I enjoy your reactions you don't need to be self-conscious about your pauses! You're a student after all! And that's how you learn! 🔥🤟😉🇺🇸
I was born and raised in WV. John Denver came to Charleston WV, August 1971 and sang Country Roads. The Streets were Packed! People from all over WV came to see him! Of course now it is considered the state song by most Mountaineers. When I was in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1987 with the Air National Guard, we were walking around town and heard music and singing---singing Country Roads! There was a group of people from a Nursing home brought to one of the outside pubs singing our song!! We joined in and fortunately one of our guys spoke German and told them where we were from! We had so much fun with these people! Music is the INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE!!! In that part of Germany, it reminded me so much of WV while going down the Rhine river until you looked up and would see a castle!!
Thank you so much for this. It has brought such smiles to me this morning. This is America to me. We are naturally tribal, and I think we find that through our sports especially college. I had so much fun watching this brought the old America back to me.
South Carolina Gamecocks... A gamecock is a bird 🐓 Also, interesting fact! Williams-Brice stadium where the gamecocks play is often the stadium used in movies because we do not have much of a skyline and it's unidentifiable. 😊
ANDRE YOU GOT ME WITH THE THUMBNAIL You gotta react to that game and the aftermath😂 it was in 2022 and the first time Tennessee beat Alabama in 16 years. The fans stormed the field and tore the goalposts down lol
At the beginning of this video I thought, they HAVE to show the University of Oklahoma’s Boomer Sooner chant. I’ve experienced it a few times and my ears rang for the rest of the day afterwards. Our NBA team here in Oklahoma gained the nickname “Loud City” for OKC. We get a little rowdy when it comes to our sports teams over here. It’s definitely an experience of a lifetime getting to attend a game like any of these. I hope you will have the chance to do so someday!
Been binge watching your videos for q couple days. Your unbridled love and respect of the place i call home is beyond heart warming. We see this every day and it doesnt phase us. But you make it real and provide the intent thats sorely missed in lots of instances. Thank you for your love and respect and just generally fantastic disposition.
2 2222222222 I love watching you get excited about my country . This summer my husband and I are moving to your country to enjoy all the wonders Portugal has to offer.
I've been to a Wisconsin game during Jump Around as a visiting fan (Northwestern) and thought it was the coolest/most fun thing ever. Whole stadium shaking, feels like an earthquake.
Michigan and Ohio are football rivals. The states are neighbors and there's history about a section of territory that belonged to one state and was taken over by the other---very old history. That's how the rivalry started.
@@MikilaKillwellmore history for you, we got the UP as compensation from the federal government for giving up the Toledo strip and ending the Toledo war (no shots fired lol) but U of M may have also gotten their mascot after Ohioans in the “war” started calling Michiganders wolverines as an insult to describe how vicious and bloodthirsty we were. Lots of fun history there
Portland Timbers! That’s my boys!!! You saw some College teams, some farm teams (players being watched for brilliance) and some NBA. Do bring hearing protection. It won’t hurt your enjoyment of the blast.
Great video for 2 reasons. #1 almost everyone in the US was touched by one of these clips. Whether it’s their hometown, college they went to or one of their kids went to. #1+ your respect and reactions to all of them. Great job!
4:13 - Just for clarificatio: the first "Portland Timbers" video was at Portland, the second one was at Seattle (Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers).
My grandnephews played hockey from about grades 6-10. They still love the game. Boston Bruins are our New England team. I'm not a sports fan, but I'll root for our teams..Bruins for hockey, Patriots for football, Red Sox for baseball, Celtics for basketball.
Yes, if the name is Utah State, then usually it was originally a state teachers college, which shortened to 'state' . . . Same with Virginia Tech, it is a technical college ( strictly engineering or other specific courses in mining or oceanography ) A University is usually a much bigger college. Yes, MD is the University for Maryland. Most of the ones in this video were college teams.
Virginia Tech is not a "technical college" but the largest university in the Commonwealth of Virginia with nearly 40,000 students. It's official name is Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UNIVERSITY with nationally ranked programs in numerous fields of study. It recently added a college of medicine.
I understand your appreciation for the profiles of these iconic cars, yet it is how one FEELS whilst driving in one that is their true measure, the feeling is almost indescribable. In 1977, the first year I drove, I had a ‘68 Camaro SS convertible. Oh my, what a car. I traded it in for a Pontiac Trans Am with 455 HP, 4 speed manual transmission-which looked exactly like the white with blue wings in the video. I’m from NY, yet lived in VA to attend high school. Any car over 25 years old and is still operational is deemed antique and nears ‘special’ tags. I think this adds to the sales price, yet these cars can still be had-especially if you can do body work! Please know that almost all of these cars are still being manufactured, including the Ford Mustang! I could write about this for ages. Most important thing to say is that I LOVE your videos, and subscribed during the first one. With love from the capital city of Virginia, please come visit!!!
Omg is this guy cute or what . . I’m loving watching him discover some of our culture and seeing it through his eyes. It’s also so nice to see someone from another country not hating us. Love from California
The Portland Timbers (major league soccer) does have passionate fans, but the Seattle Sounders, their main rivals do too, Portland’s stadium holds 25,000. Seattle plays at Lumen Field which can hold 68,741 fans, which was the number of fans present when they beat Pumas UNAM for the CONCACAF Champions League crown. I’m really glad they showed our Boom-Boom-Clap vs their PTGC Chant. They filmed that at Lumen Field from near the opposing team’s seating section so you could hear their PTFC chant better. A normal match usually sees about 40,000. and they have a March to the Match pregame tradition from the headquarters offices to the stadium that has to be seen to be appreciated. The Sounders share Lumen Field with the Seattle Seahawks, which has some of the loudest fans in the NFL, they held the Guinness Book record until the Kansas City Chiefs beat them by a few decibels. That’s the equivalent to standing next to a jet plane taking off.
Early in the vid it's the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders, the greatest rivalry in Major League Soccer/futbol, both teams are in the Pacific Northwest and along with the Vancouver White Caps play for the Cascadian Cup which is a regional contest for bragging rights not consequential but taken very seriously.
What you said about our National Anthem warms my heart. Bless you, bro. Right before the Auburn 'Reverse Rammer Jammer' clip was alabama performing their Rammer Jammer (....Hey, (insert other team)! We just beat the hell out of you. Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, give 'em hell alabama). Reverse RJ is when Auburn beats them, they are our biggest rival. We chant the same thing, but change it to, "Hey, Bama....go to hell, alabama." We hate bama and they hate us, it's wonderful.
9:26 FYI, the mascot of Florida State is named after a local Native American peoples called the Seminoles. They are supportive of the mascot and the chant as the university makes a point of being honorable toward the heritage and history of the tribe.
I think California has 20 million (not really but it seems that way). Within 1 hour of me, we have CA State University, Sacramento, U of C Davis, U of C Berkeley, Pacific College/stockton, UC Merced, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz. I have to admit, the only two that I know of that goes to this extreme is Berkeley and U of Southern CA (USC).
Nothing beats the tribal fever of United States College sports. Every state has one or two major public universities and there are also several private schools with major sports programs. Several universities have stadiums that seat as many or more people as live in the town. College game day is huge.
This was my first time watching your channel . I really enjoy how other countries takes to our sports mania. We do love our sports on all levels. Football is the biggest entertaining, with the bands halftime show...from Florida saw a comment about being weird or crazy pay no attention to that . The person who said you are Florida, means we have a lot of spanish people here . With your Portuguese accent you will fit in . Love your energetic reaction. Thanks
College football provides so much passion that many continue to support their team way, way after they graduate. Most for life. The rivalries are epic and the fight songs as well. Everyone knows the fight songs as soon as they start. ND, Michigan's, etc...❤
I don’t think I’ve said this here before but I live only 45 minutes north of Virginia Tech and I was sitting in my suv right outside the stadium once when they were playing Enter Sandman and I could feel the vibrations from inside my car!
The footage from the Seattle Sounders game was at a SOCCER/FOOTBALL game. I am very biased but Sweet Caroline should only be sung at Fenway Park. That is their signature song sung in the middle of the 8th inning.
We all have rivalries from state to state. For instance I'm Floridian, when our Gators play Georgia, we have to play at a neutral stadium in Jacksonville. Because it got so out of hand. You should watch our UCF Knights in Orlando at the "bounce house" too. It's called the bounce house because the stadium flexes so much when it gets rowdy. We have lots of teams in Florida, 3 pro football teams, 2 NBA teams, 2 MLB teams, 2 pro hockey teams, 2 MLS teams, 3 powerhouse college teams-4 if you count UCF. We also love our Nascar at Daytona and bull riding/rodeo. We would love to have you visit Florida and enjoy our traditions.
My FSU Seminoles made the chart! It's wild crazy at those games as I was there for 4 years. It's a put your sneakers on and buckle up experience! We love our sports!
I wish it was mentioned that Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where crowds broke the record to come in at 142.2 decibels has the Guinness world record… Allen Fieldhouse, which seats 16,300 fans, once held a Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at an indoor sports event when the Jayhawks faced the West Virginia Mountaineers in a conference rivalry matchup in 2017.
I was at a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game around 2014 or 2015 where the anthem singer's mic malfunctioned, so the crowd just sang in his place. It was magical, to be honest, even though we usually sing along. When we play teams based in Canada, we sing the version of the Canadian anthem sung at their home games; French (Montreal), bilingual (Ottawa), and English (Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver). At the local football (soccer) team's matches, the big anthem the supporters sing is "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You". We were the MLS champions for 2023, and have started 2024 with a win and a draw. We also have a fair bit of notoriety here for being a lucky ground for the US Men's team when playing Mexico. And then we have the Ohio State Buckeyes. You've seen the stadium in the video on college football stadiums. The atmosphere is very similar to what you see with the other colleges in this video, though each school has their traditions. The big one at Ohio State is "Hang On Sloopy", which is an old pop song from the mid-1960s that was recorded by a band from western Ohio. The fans also chant the bass line from "Seven Nation Army", but that's common at a number of schools. Sports culture in the US can be very tribal, in a way. Traditions are passed on, new ones develop, but participation in them marks you as a member of the 'tribe'. It's community, connection, and it can be very magical.

Thank you friend. I will always stand for the national anthem.
Here's a fact to stun Europeans. Eight of the ten largest athletic stadiums in the WORLD are football stadiums on the campuses of US Universities.
The top stadium is Mexico City and I’m not sure if who the other is. I’m not going to google it. I’ll check back in the comments later.
As an Ohio State fan that happens to live on the boarder of Michigan, "The Big House" (AKA Michigan football stadium) is HUGE. I have been there 2x.

The second video, the Boston Bruins crowd singing the national anthem happened right after the Boston Marathon Bombing. It was a very emotional and moving moment.
I was wondering if that clip was from around that time.
how soon people forget about that terrorist act though.
I would suggest you watch it very powerful moment
You should check out the tradition at Iowa university where everyone waves to the children’s hospital that over looks the field. All players and the crowd stop and turn to the hospital to wave at these children that are suffering from severe illness and look forward to seeing the game every time the team plays at home. It’s very, very moving.

The other great iowa tradition is when the players make their online bets at halftime :)

This guy Picked the 2 BIGGEST RIVALS in Michigan and Ohio St to be his 2 teams. 🤣
As bugs bunny would say, "this means war"😅
I know right?!
That the biggest rivalry, only to michiganders and ohioans. The rest of the country could care less, we have our own "biggest" rivalry.

When those stomps hit in those stadiums it vibrates enough to read with earthquake equipment. 😅❤
Wisconsin football games registered at 3.2 on the Richter scale!
@@prollins6443 Most games in Wisconsin register at 3.2 on the BAC as well.
@@benblock7112 BAC? What is that?

@@Ayy_Nanners in that case, you might be selling them short! It's gotta be over 10%, at least!
College sports have such passion, tradition and pageantry. State and regional pride play a part in the passion.
You bet they do. Much more than the pro sports.
There is a mix of pro and college. College kids tend to have more energy.
You forget there are 50 states and most have state colleges: Utah State, Ohio State, Michigan State etc
True
More people are invested in college teams. The game attendees are not just students and their families, but generations of alumni and people from the community and the states they are in.
Most people can't go to an NFL game, but a university game is always just a "short" drive away!!!
Most states have a state college and a state university. With some having a Eastern, Western, Northern, or/and Southern also. As well as Technical colleges and other specialities. There is 363 Division 1 schools in 49 states, 313 Division 2 schools, and 442 Division 3 schools. And then there are all of the junior college level schools which total about 1000. So there is no shortage of schools to choose to cheer for.
This video he watched seem to be mostly SEC, BIG10, BIGXII, AND ACC. UTAH ST basketball was there also but that adds up to mostly what people watch. @@burnout_2017
Ohio State -- Michigan State -- Penn State
three powerhouses of the "Big 10(12)" conference.
Michigan State has the largest stadium, followed very closely by Penn State. each seat over 100,000 people.
*_"WE ARE... PENN STATE!"_*
Sweet Caroline actually became famous by Boston Red Sox Baseball in Massachusetts. Neil Diamond writer and singer came to sing in person after suicide bombers atta ked the Boston marathon. Britain now uses this song
Jump around at Wisconsin registers on the richter scale as an earthquake. Everyone loves Jump Around but as a wisconsin fan, singing buttercup when the speaker cuts out and the game is still going is so fun
I'm 64 years old and I still tear up every time that the national anthem is sung...the story behind that song is amazing!
As a Nebraska Football fan, I was disappointed to see that the wave wasn’t in that video. The atmosphere and fans here is just amazing, and it’s an awesome experience to be at a game
The volleyball team also has a great atmosphere and I recommend you check out some Nebraska games!
My favorite thing about the goose clip is the attendance says "who cares" 😂😂
2 hell yeah react to part 2
Those stadiums get so loud on the field that they rival plane engines taking off. Stadium noise 100 to 135 decibels. Outside the plane when a Boeing 747 jet is taking off 130 to 140 decibels.
The jumping up and down in the stadium shakes the ground underneath so much it gets picked up by earthquake detection equipment.
There have been several occasions that a college football stadium has been picked up by seismic detectors. So, technically the fans have created a small earthquake. That’s mind boggling. And as a West Virginian we would love to have you visit us my friend.
As a Wisconsin football fan who"s been to Camp Randall several times, I can say this about our two clips:
Jump Around happens between the third and fourth quarters, and is insane. Everyone's jumping, and the whole stadium shakes. TV commentators have said that even the press box shakes.
Buttercup plays during a commercial break, usually in the second half. Not only is everyone singing, but when the song stops playing over the speakers (after the break is over and the game resumes) everyone still sings.
On Wisconsin!
3:27 This is the biggest Rivalry in the MLS, Major League Soccer. Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon are on the same highway. The Seattle Sounders have their Boom Boom Clap chant and the Portland Timbers have their PTFC chant and they were fighting eachother with their chants in this video. And unlike European Soccer we can actually sit next to someone who wears the other teams colors and not get into a fight over it.
There's a part 2 for this and in it is the "go cubs go" song in game 5 of the world series in 2016 where the Chcago Cubs won the world series for the first time in 108 years. We have a song called "Go Cubs Go," and i've never heard the city of Chicago louder than that night singing it.
We were down in the series 3-1 and needed to win that game or it was over and we ended up coming back and winning at all. The parade for the championship was the 7th largest gathering in human history 😂
Wasn't that some event! Biggest ever for Chicago, for sure. Almost as big as the pope's coronation, if not bigger. Towns,small cities and suburbs took trains and subways into Chicago. Three extra large venue areas had to be opened up to accommodate the influx of all Chicago humanity that day! WOW!
I actually think your intro is amongst the most charming. I always try to give a like.
Go Blue!... thats a University Of Michigan reference. Yes... the best college team... dont care about anyone elses opinion. Lol. Born and raised in Michigan... the stadium is where I spent my weekends, from 18, to 25. Epic times.
Build me up buttercup
This tradition started simply because of peoples' love for the song, according to the WAA, and its popularity grew after the song was featured in the 1998 film, “There's Something About Mary.” The fans loved participating in this new tradition, so by the 2000s the song was played at almost all games.
""Florida Man, that was such a compliment....thank you!'', lol.
If that was deadpan humor (or not) it was hysterical.
“ Sweet Caroline “ Neil Diamond song, you should play it on your music channel.
Was born and raised in Ohio.... live in Tennessee for about 30 yrs now... stull pull for Ohio State... but my grandaughter graduated from University of Tennessee.... we cheer them on now too. The collage football is way more popular then the professional teams ❤
These are so amazing and it feels like a hundred years since I've seen such a bunch of happy people. Thank you!
I have been dying laighing this entire reaction!!! You are so hilarious!!! 😂
"Buttercup" is a term of endearment. Its also a flower.
"Build me up, Buttercup" is sung by "The Foundations"
I live in New Jersey but went to Seattle right when the Sounders were playing the New York Redbulls so I thought, why not go to a game... The atmosphere there is unlike any other stadium minus Portlands. It feels like you are at a European Football match with the energy and passion those fans bring.
The guy with the goose 😂 There is always one guy that ta kes it too far. Lol I love it!
"my teams are Michigan and Ohio and you cant do anything about it" I laughed HARD at this. It's possibly the biggest rivalry in College football hahaha
I think John Denver's "Country Roads" is the State Song of West Virginia.
Oh the West Virginia Hills, is the state song.
Oh the West Virginia Hills, is the state song.
"2" Awesome video as always. I love this one but so many more cool atmospheres to check out in part 2. Seeing the excitement watching this brought to you says all you need to know about whether you should watch more. Im glad you got to see a little more about how loud a college basketball game can get but this didnt show off how insane some of those crowds can be. The nicknames of the "student sections" in the crowds like "crazies" or "kennel" or "grateful red" speaks for itself. Now would be an awesome time to learn more about college basketball since it has the greatest championship tournament ever called March Madness....happening in a few weeks
Also baseball crowds can get pretty crazy as well as you saw with Baltimore. There are a few videos about the loudest baseball crowds that would be cool if you reacted to. Even maybe one about hockey. Keep learning more about America through our sports fandoms!!
Neil Diamond wrote "Sweet Caroline" ..if I'm not mistaken, he was from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
The song "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, isnt about North or South Carolina.
He, not too long ago, said he wrote the song after seeing a sweet photo of Caroline Kennedy in 1969.
I always wondered what Caroline he was talking about.
“My English not my language but what the hell is that word”? Gamecocks 😂😂 knew it was coming, made me laugh so hard this morning thanks. Cocks were roosters or chickens back in the day.
I haven't been to others, but the Jump Around at Camp Randall (home of the badgers) is a blast.
No, the song is SWEET CAROLINE... not CAROLINA. It has nothing to do with North or South Carolina. A gamecock is a rooster bred for cockfighting. A wolverine is very large and ferocious relative of the weasel family.
Sweet Caroline was Neil Diamond's biggest hit. It's hugely popular among karaoke fans.
The first 5.40 minutes is pro sports, the rest is all college.
Michigan Stadium @ 22.30 is the 3rd largest stadium in the world, bigger than anything in Europe.
What's incredible is that unlike in Europe where you have football hooliganism and sometimes rioting, at US sporting events there is rarely any fighting or violence other than perhaps a couple of drunk individuals in the stands. Widespread fighting is practically unheard of. People go to show their pride and have fun.
Never been to Philly, huh
@@FuranzuDesuI was gonna say, tell that to the greased light poles in Philly lmao
The University of Oklahoma team name is the Sooners. It is in reference to the Oklahoma land rush of the late 1800s. The teams mascots are Boomer and Sooner (the 2 horses pulling the wagon.) The Conestoga wagon is called the "Boomer Schooner".
One side of the stadium is shouting "BOOMER!!! then the other side answers, "SOONER!!!"
Michigan won the National Championship this year! Go Blue!
I agree with you. There should definitely be more of this in the world. We all have much more in common than we think. We all love our families and friends.
4:12 and that's our soccer game aka Football in Seattle Washington the same field the Seattle Seahawks which is a American Football team play and host home games. I been hearing certain countries said we dont do big on Soccer they have no idea how big sports are in America we always there
I don't mind the pauses at all, the only time I get aggravated is when they're playing the national anthem, or Phil Collins In the Air Tonight,you don't pause during the drum solo,😉 other than that cheers I did enjoy you going back and look at how many people there were! A good thing for trivia you might want to take this video and study the teams in the histories, and what rivalries there are, there's also the Army-Navy game, there's a movie that I would recommend that you watch, it's called Rudy. It's a bit of an old one but it's a good film. And because West Virginia is my home Though I live in Florida, there's another University in West Virginia called Marshall. They made a film about it a few years ago and about the tragedy with their football team! It's a good film as well! I enjoy your reactions you don't need to be self-conscious about your pauses! You're a student after all! And that's how you learn! 🔥🤟😉🇺🇸
I was born and raised in WV. John Denver came to Charleston WV, August 1971 and sang Country Roads. The Streets were Packed! People from all over WV came to see him! Of course now it is considered the state song by most Mountaineers. When I was in Wiesbaden, Germany in 1987 with the Air National Guard, we were walking around town and heard music and singing---singing Country Roads! There was a group of people from a Nursing home brought to one of the outside pubs singing our song!! We joined in and fortunately one of our guys spoke German and told them where we were from! We had so much fun with these people! Music is the INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE!!! In that part of Germany, it reminded me so much of WV while going down the Rhine river until you looked up and would see a castle!!
Thank you so much for this. It has brought such smiles to me this morning. This is America to me. We are naturally tribal, and I think we find that through our sports especially college. I had so much fun watching this brought the old America back to me.
South Carolina Gamecocks... A gamecock is a bird 🐓
Also, interesting fact! Williams-Brice stadium where the gamecocks play is often the stadium used in movies because we do not have much of a skyline and it's unidentifiable. 😊
ANDRE YOU GOT ME WITH THE THUMBNAIL
You gotta react to that game and the aftermath😂 it was in 2022 and the first time Tennessee beat Alabama in 16 years. The fans stormed the field and tore the goalposts down lol
Yeah the goal post tear downs are crazy.
They not only tore it down they carried out of the stadium and threw it in the Tennessee River!!
At the beginning of this video I thought, they HAVE to show the University of Oklahoma’s Boomer Sooner chant. I’ve experienced it a few times and my ears rang for the rest of the day afterwards.
Our NBA team here in Oklahoma gained the nickname “Loud City” for OKC. We get a little rowdy when it comes to our sports teams over here.
It’s definitely an experience of a lifetime getting to attend a game like any of these. I hope you will have the chance to do so someday!
Been binge watching your videos for q couple days. Your unbridled love and respect of the place i call home is beyond heart warming. We see this every day and it doesnt phase us. But you make it real and provide the intent thats sorely missed in lots of instances. Thank you for your love and respect and just generally fantastic disposition.
2 2222222222 I love watching you get excited about my country . This summer my husband and I are moving to your country to enjoy all the wonders Portugal has to offer.
Best of luck with your move, great choice. I’ll be visiting Portugal for the 3rd time this year and plan to retire there in 3 years. @BrendaCase-zb9tt
If there’s one thing Seattle does well with sports is get loud (sounders vs timbers clip). During a Seahawks game the crowd caused an earthquake.
I've been to a Wisconsin game during Jump Around as a visiting fan (Northwestern) and thought it was the coolest/most fun thing ever. Whole stadium shaking, feels like an earthquake.
Michigan and Ohio are football rivals. The states are neighbors and there's history about a section of territory that belonged to one state and was taken over by the other---very old history. That's how the rivalry started.
@@MikilaKillwellmore history for you, we got the UP as compensation from the federal government for giving up the Toledo strip and ending the Toledo war (no shots fired lol) but U of M may have also gotten their mascot after Ohioans in the “war” started calling Michiganders wolverines as an insult to describe how vicious and bloodthirsty we were. Lots of fun history there
Portland Timbers! That’s my boys!!! You saw some College teams, some farm teams (players being watched for brilliance) and some NBA. Do bring hearing protection. It won’t hurt your enjoyment of the blast.
Great video for 2 reasons. #1 almost everyone in the US was touched by one of these clips. Whether it’s their hometown, college they went to or one of their kids went to. #1+ your respect and reactions to all of them. Great job!
America would love to have you visit.
You’re the type of person America needs and wants
You should see the BYU Marriott center, It's honestly one of the coolest and best basketball stadiums that I've seen personally.
You have more respect for America than many Americans
4:13 - Just for clarificatio: the first "Portland Timbers" video was at Portland, the second one was at Seattle (Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers).
This is only the second video I have caught of you; and your reactions are so genuine that it made me smile. Thank you!
Do part 2. I love how excited you get and sometime it’s so hysterical. 😊😅
My grandnephews played hockey from about grades 6-10. They still love the game. Boston Bruins are our New England team. I'm not a sports fan, but I'll root for our teams..Bruins for hockey, Patriots for football, Red Sox for baseball, Celtics for basketball.
Yes, if the name is Utah State, then usually it was originally a state teachers college, which shortened to 'state' . . . Same with Virginia Tech, it is a technical college ( strictly engineering or other specific courses in mining or oceanography ) A University is usually a much bigger college. Yes, MD is the University for Maryland. Most of the ones in this video were college teams.
Virginia Tech is not a "technical college" but the largest university in the Commonwealth of Virginia with nearly 40,000 students. It's official name is Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UNIVERSITY with nationally ranked programs in numerous fields of study. It recently added a college of medicine.
I understand your appreciation for the profiles of these iconic cars, yet it is how one FEELS whilst driving in one that is their true measure, the feeling is almost indescribable. In 1977, the first year I drove, I had a ‘68 Camaro SS convertible. Oh my, what a car. I traded it in for a Pontiac Trans Am with 455 HP, 4 speed manual transmission-which looked exactly like the white with blue wings in the video. I’m from NY, yet lived in VA to attend high school. Any car over 25 years old and is still operational is deemed antique and nears ‘special’ tags. I think this adds to the sales price, yet these cars can still be had-especially if you can do body work! Please know that almost all of these cars are still being manufactured, including the Ford Mustang! I could write about this for ages. Most important thing to say is that I LOVE your videos, and subscribed during the first one. With love from the capital city of Virginia, please come visit!!!
Omg is this guy cute or what . . I’m loving watching him discover some of our culture and seeing it through his eyes. It’s also so nice to see someone from another country not hating us. Love from California
The Portland Timbers (major league soccer) does have passionate fans, but the Seattle Sounders, their main rivals do too, Portland’s stadium holds 25,000. Seattle plays at Lumen Field which can hold 68,741 fans, which was the number of fans present when they beat Pumas UNAM for the CONCACAF Champions League crown. I’m really glad they showed our Boom-Boom-Clap vs their PTGC Chant. They filmed that at Lumen Field from near the opposing team’s seating section so you could hear their PTFC chant better.
A normal match usually sees about 40,000. and they have a March to the Match pregame tradition from the headquarters offices to the stadium that has to be seen to be appreciated. The Sounders share Lumen Field with the Seattle Seahawks, which has some of the loudest fans in the NFL, they held the Guinness Book record until the Kansas City Chiefs beat them by a few decibels. That’s the equivalent to standing next to a jet plane taking off.
PART 2 FOR SURE !!
Early in the vid it's the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders, the greatest rivalry in Major League Soccer/futbol, both teams are in the Pacific Northwest and along with the Vancouver White Caps play for the Cascadian Cup which is a regional contest for bragging rights not consequential but taken very seriously.
What you said about our National Anthem warms my heart. Bless you, bro.
Right before the Auburn 'Reverse Rammer Jammer' clip was alabama performing their Rammer Jammer (....Hey, (insert other team)! We just beat the hell out of you. Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, give 'em hell alabama). Reverse RJ is when Auburn beats them, they are our biggest rival. We chant the same thing, but change it to, "Hey, Bama....go to hell, alabama." We hate bama and they hate us, it's wonderful.
Last time the Dallas cowboys won anything. I had a pager!!!
Gamecock is a bird found in the Carolinas. It is a species of rooster typically bred for fighting.
Fun fact, Ohio and Michigan and Ohio went to war with each other so that also helped the rivalry🤣
9:26 FYI, the mascot of Florida State is named after a local Native American peoples called the Seminoles. They are supportive of the mascot and the chant as the university makes a point of being honorable toward the heritage and history of the tribe.
Come during football season ( it is really short ), another part you didn't see here is tailgating! It goes along with the game!
I think California has 20 million (not really but it seems that way). Within 1 hour of me, we have CA State University, Sacramento, U of C Davis, U of C Berkeley, Pacific College/stockton, UC Merced, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz. I have to admit, the only two that I know of that goes to this extreme is Berkeley and U of Southern CA (USC).
Nothing beats the tribal fever of United States College sports. Every state has one or two major public universities and there are also several private schools with major sports programs.
Several universities have stadiums that seat as many or more people as live in the town. College game day is huge.
Auburn Tigers is another college team in Alabama. A lot of states have several colleges. 😁
im from Michigan and love my teams! love America were a proud caring ppl come on over and visit we welcome you!
This was my first time watching your channel . I really enjoy how other countries takes to our sports mania. We do love our sports on all levels. Football is the biggest entertaining, with the bands halftime show...from Florida saw a comment about being weird or crazy pay no attention to that . The person who said you are Florida, means we have a lot of spanish people here . With your Portuguese accent you will fit in . Love your energetic reaction. Thanks
Just a reminder, The Seattle Sounders are a soccer team. Seattle loves there Sounders and Seahawks!
I know Seattle loved the Sea Dragons. Watch for their return next year.
College football provides so much passion that many continue to support their team way, way after they graduate. Most for life. The rivalries are epic and the fight songs as well. Everyone knows the fight songs as soon as they start. ND, Michigan's, etc...❤
I don’t think I’ve said this here before but I live only 45 minutes north of Virginia Tech and I was sitting in my suv right outside the stadium once when they were playing Enter Sandman and I could feel the vibrations from inside my car!
This is my favorite reaction you have done! WE LOVE OUR SPORTS!!!
The Michigan Wolverines are the current National Champions 💙💛
The footage from the Seattle Sounders game was at a SOCCER/FOOTBALL game. I am very biased but Sweet Caroline should only be sung at Fenway Park. That is their signature song sung in the middle of the 8th inning.
Sweet Caroline (a gals name), not Carolina (name of two states).
Oh no... Makes more sense now 😅
We all have rivalries from state to state. For instance I'm Floridian, when our Gators play Georgia, we have to play at a neutral stadium in Jacksonville. Because it got so out of hand. You should watch our UCF Knights in Orlando at the "bounce house" too. It's called the bounce house because the stadium flexes so much when it gets rowdy. We have lots of teams in Florida, 3 pro football teams, 2 NBA teams, 2 MLB teams, 2 pro hockey teams, 2 MLS teams, 3 powerhouse college teams-4 if you count UCF. We also love our Nascar at Daytona and bull riding/rodeo. We would love to have you visit Florida and enjoy our traditions.
My FSU Seminoles made the chart! It's wild crazy at those games as I was there for 4 years. It's a put your sneakers on and buckle up experience! We love our sports!
I enjoyed every second of this. Gave you a like and sub. Thank you for your kind words towards the US. Best wishes with you and your channel's growth!
This guy is great he knows some but he takes it as a way the learn more about the us props to him
Good choice thanks for the video Andre
I wish it was mentioned that Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where crowds broke the record to come in at 142.2 decibels has the Guinness world record… Allen Fieldhouse, which seats 16,300 fans, once held a Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at an indoor sports event when the Jayhawks faced the West Virginia Mountaineers in a conference rivalry matchup in 2017.
I was at a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game around 2014 or 2015 where the anthem singer's mic malfunctioned, so the crowd just sang in his place. It was magical, to be honest, even though we usually sing along. When we play teams based in Canada, we sing the version of the Canadian anthem sung at their home games; French (Montreal), bilingual (Ottawa), and English (Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver).
At the local football (soccer) team's matches, the big anthem the supporters sing is "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You". We were the MLS champions for 2023, and have started 2024 with a win and a draw. We also have a fair bit of notoriety here for being a lucky ground for the US Men's team when playing Mexico.
And then we have the Ohio State Buckeyes. You've seen the stadium in the video on college football stadiums. The atmosphere is very similar to what you see with the other colleges in this video, though each school has their traditions. The big one at Ohio State is "Hang On Sloopy", which is an old pop song from the mid-1960s that was recorded by a band from western Ohio. The fans also chant the bass line from "Seven Nation Army", but that's common at a number of schools.
Sports culture in the US can be very tribal, in a way. Traditions are passed on, new ones develop, but participation in them marks you as a member of the 'tribe'. It's community, connection, and it can be very magical.
