      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 ;)

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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!!

    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.

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!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
