Honestly, not a lot of emphasis is placed on chants in American sports, it doesn't change the game day experience in anyway. All the emphasis is on the field action, and the tailgate parties before the game outside of the stadium. With so many teams and huge country, chants are just pretty much whatever the local teams come up with for those games, there is no competition for the best chants, because no one goes to the games for chants, and nobody is talking about chants after the games.
LSU has a chant for almost every action on the field. 1st downs - 4th down defensive stop - whatever. The Tiger band from
Golden land is playing a song and the crowd is ROCKING!
GEAUX TIGERS
SEC football just different
there is so much chanting. in Michigan Stadium they sing Mr. Brightside, in wisconsin they do "FIRST AND 10 WISCONSIN" and jump around and many other schools do chants
You should probably attend some college hockey games.
WVU does the one side says lets go and the other side says Mountianeers. They also do the oooooh W V U first down
Stadiums are built for the College teams. They may host other events…but theyre there for the football games
Well not in the case of Miami, they’re playing in an NFL stadium
Same for Pitt, UNLV and a few others
You skipped over the best part of Florida State's entrance, where Chief Osceola actually plants the spear at midfield after rearing back on his horse, Renegade. During the annual rivalry game with the University of Florida, he dismounts faces both teams, stares down the UF team and plants the spear right in front of them.
I'm part Seminole and I ADORE FSU!
Once a college fan ALWAYS a college fan. Not just for students. Penn state has a unique and extremely dedicated following. My husband still won’t miss a game after nearly 40 years out of school.
I'ma former MSU student and I've made it a mission to visit every Big 10 stadium. I've seen a game in all but Minnesota (though I have been in the dome before they built their own stadium). Each one has a different feel, but I had an awesome time at every one, win or lose. Most of the home fans were great to us visitors.
I am going to msu lmao. was accepted early. Go Green!!
Been to the Rose Bowl, so that leaves LA Memorial in 2024
The gamecock is a rooster that was used way back when for fighting other roosters in a "cockfight". The university took the mascot in honor of a Revolutionary War general named Thomas Sumter, whose nickname was "The Fighting Gamecock", named so for his ferocity in battle. And yes, the word "cock" has the same meaning here as over there. The nickname has caused all sorts of embarassment for visiting fans for years. Or excitement for others when they see a crowd of young coeds yelling out "cocks" at the top of their lungs. However, the clip did not do justice to the Gamecock's entrance. It truly is a masterpiece as 2001 builds slowly to a crescendo accompanied by smoke and fire and the screaming of 85,000 inebriated and enthusiastic fans. Alas, too often this is the peak of the game for us, but it never fails to light a Gamecock's blood on fire. Go Cocks!!!
Actually "Gamecock" is named after General Thomas Sumter who during the SC Indian wars was given that nickname by the Indians as a sign of Respect..
Trivia: More Revolutionary War battles were fought in South Carolina than ANY the other state in the war.
With college football, some teams are definitely big on chants, but more important is the marching band. If you can find them, I'd love to see you react to some of the halftime shows. (And not just because I'm a former band kid/dated band kids.)
Gamecock is a fighting rooster. The team was named after a Revolutionary war General, Thomas Sumter, who was called "the Fighting Gamecock". The fort named after him was also where the first shots of the US Civil war were fired.
This was a pretty good video for the most part, but the fact that they didn't include an entrance from LSU is almost insulting. Death Valley is by far the most magnificent experience the sport of American football has to offer, and the atmosphere there is absolutely incredible. And I'm a kentucky fan lol.
This is gonna be a little long winded but these stadiums are just for the football teams and if they have a track the track and field teams might use it. The facility’s such as locker rooms, indoor practice facility’s, weight rooms, all are superior to Premiere League facility’s.
One thing to consider is these university’s don’t rely on one billionaire owner but rather wealthy alumni donors known as boosters who donate tons of money to the programs. I suggest reacting to Oregon football facility’s, Phil Knight the founder of Nike attended Oregon and you can see his influence lol
I need to react to a video about the facilities, That's something im super interested in! Thanks man
And very lucrative tv deals
@@BritishGuy22 check out this tour of the LSU (Louisiana State University) football facility.

My favorite football team entrances are usually the ones with animals or vehicles brought onto the field for a lap or two. Chief Osceola on his horse Renegade, this beautiful old car, a bison with its handlers, and even one team with a horse-drawn covered wagon! These are unique and highly exciting to watch, because they're so unusual compared to the regular band playing the entrance song, and then the football players enter onto the field. These extra steps make those particular teams very special, in my opinion.
Come on now you know who that team is with the covered wagon you must be a sooner hater but that's okay we like haters
@@jdwilmoth Actually, I didn't know. I don't keep up with that sort of thing. Sorry. I just like the entrances. Thank you for telling me, though. I'm not a hater. I like everyone.
@@CassieJo oh my bad I figured you was a Texas fan they are sooner haters the team with the wagon and the ponies are the Oklahoma Sooners the little ponies names are Boomer and sooner
as a die hard Michigan fan i know just about every player at Michigan that starts to about the 5th string. Even with that there are still probably 30-40 people i've never heard of or I forget.
Among the bigger programs, college stadiums are usually quite a bit bigger than NFL stadiums. For example, the NFL's Tennessee Titans play in Nissan Stadium, seating about 67,000 people. But the NCAA Tennessee Volunteers play in Neyland Stadium, seating over 102,000 fans.
The Big House (Michigan's) hold concerts on occasion and have hosted some outdoor NHL games (2014 Winter Classic if you want to see on RUclips) it was really, really cold that day.
College football is awesome!!! I just finished watching the Army vs Navy game. The Army/Navy game is between the Army and Navy academies. If you are serving in the military or have served this game means so much. I’m an Army veteran so “Go Army… Beat Navy! And we beat Navy today!!!!!
I think part of what makes college sports so much bigger in the US than they would be in the UK is how compact the UK is. There are, what, 20 teams in the Premier League at any given time, and that's with the relegation system so there are something like 80 total teams playing professional soccer? And Great Britain is pretty small relative to the US; many individual states are larger than the isle of Great Britain.
Let's take, as an example, a pretty decent-sized city in the southern U.S.: Mobile, Alabama, down in the southern part of the state. If someone in this city wanted to go to a pro football game, the closest options are the New Orleans Saints, all the way over in Louisiana (not a state that borders Alabama), the Atlanta Falcons, in the northern part of the state to Alabama's east (remember, we're starting in the southwest part of the state), the Jacksonville Jaguars, all the way on the east coast of Florida (though not really very far south of Mobile if at all), and possibly the Tennessee Titans up in Nashville, with Tennessee being the state to Alabama's north. Remember, I'm pretty sure that Alabama is itself one of those states larger than Great Britain.
However, the University of Alabama, located in Tuscaloosa, is _the_ premiere college football program. Since Tuscaloosa isn't exactly close to Mobile, either, fans who want to stay even more local have a team right in their city, the University of South Alabama Jaguars. They're not from one of the power conferences but they're still in FBS, so figure they're the equivalent of a Championship team (though typically not a terribly good one--this year on the other hand they'd be on the verge of promotion if that was a thing in college sports). In short, only the major metros get the pro teams, but college teams are everywhere--easily as saturated as your English Football League system. ...Wait, there are *how* many teams at the lower levels of the pyramid? Okay, maybe not _quite_ as saturated.
There's 85 players on scholarship in college probably another 25 or so walkons (guys who pay to go to school). About 40 players per team play on a consistent basis. Fans who follow the team would know most of that 40 or so
The rest are bodies needed for practice and to provide depth for when players get injured.
The wildest chants I’ve experienced, Michigan hockey games at Yost Arena (not too far from Michigan Stadium.) I can’t even share them here, very raunchy(the school has been working on toning it down in fact!) Plus that’s a crowd size you’d appreciate (the old barn only holds 5000 or so.) It’s a great experience! Not sure there are videos of it but, worth looking for.
Yeah being a student there I can say they have not succeeded in toning it down😂
Our university sports are more like the pro clubs of Europe in terms of traditions and fanbase loyalty. Minus baseball, professional sports in America didn't really start to gain traction until the 1920s and later. On the other hand, sports became popular at the university level around the 1880-90s, when a lot of club football (soccer) teams began to play. So all the weird traditions and chants that goes along with football clubs in Europe are more associated with our university sports. And like the club sports of Europe, the university teams are all more localized, meaning where you may have a team that used to represent a certain area or neighborhood, our university represents our states or general areas. Also where some of your clubs started out by being certain working or religiously affiliate teams, there's a little bit of that in our university support also. As an example, I'm from Indiana and a lot of the farmers in the state root for Purdue over Indiana U. because Purdue is more of an agricultural, technical, and engineering school than IU (which is more about medical, humanities) Then Notre Dame is also in the state and is a Catholic school.
When I was 11 years old, we used to have music enrichment class, it always started with the “Michigan Fight Song,” we sang it every Thursday, as loud as we could.
The stadiums are Just for college football, located on/ right next to campus. College Football actually makes up the most stadiums with over 100k capacity. Many of the crowds you saw here were over 100k
The players do not get paid. Its debated often, but also keeps the game very true and pure. The players are there to play their hearts out and maybe 1% of players on The Best teams make it to NFL. They do get free College though
Many also have easily over 100 year traditions. College has been around for much longer than NFL
Football is also physical AF so adrenaline helps a lot, compared to soccer, hence the constant hype
A lot of the crowd is college students, but many alumni, and just general fans
Every major College team has serious traditions. Theres great videos on that too, you should check it out!
Damn this is crazy to me, the fact they get biggest attendances than NFL and don't get paid is INSANE
I don't know if Kevin has been living under a rock for the past 2 years (no disrespect to Kevin, just lighthearted sarcasm 😁), but as of the 2021 football season, the players can make $ off their name, image or likeness (NIL). They get paid for promoting local & national brands. Look up the deal between Hendon Hooker of the Tennessee Volunteers and French's mustard. It's a funny back story! 🤣
8:50 My local team. I'm not really a fan, but it's hard to argue against an Indian on horseback planting a flaming spear at midfield in front of 90,000 people. The students can only fill roughly 1/3 of the stadiums; the rest are alums, or just local people that latch on to their local team. Neat mix.
90,000. That's a high-school stadium in the SEC
@@Ryan-mx2kr No, it isn't. The Swamp at the University of Florida, the most comparable SEC stadium, also seats 90K. The stadiums in college football are all gigantic by any measure. 90K is bigger than any NFL stadium, and bigger than all but a few stadiums around the world. It's impressive.
This is my favorite video that you’ve done so far! Keep them coming!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support Lyssa
I am a long time Oregon Duck fan. I know most of the players on the team, and certainly all of the ones that see any significant time on the field, except perhaps for special teams plays.The stadiums are almost always only used by the college team. There are some exceptions. These huge stadiums are used between 5 and 8 times per year. While a lot of college students go to the games, the far greater percentage are alumni or fans with no other association to the school.
The Gamecock name orginated with General Thomas Sumter, known during the Revolutionary War as "The Fighting Gamecock."
The " Native American" with the flaming spear represents the Seminole tribe which the players get their name, the Seminoles. The Chief plants the flaming spear to declare the field is Seminole territory. It's not unusual for generations of people to attend the games, former students, parents, grandparents and alumni who meet to attend together. This is a real event, these games. Especially for homecoming week. People return no matter where they live now. Like I said, It's an event that's very close to the hearts of so many people.
The players don't get paid but there are scouts at games who will get with them as future NFL members. They have to be very good and show a lot of promise. Some aren't into football as a future, it can just be a school experience. Some go on to other successful careers. I'm always surprised at the ones who turn it down because they have other plans.
Hope this helps explain a little bit. You're doing such a great thing with your channel, I really enjoy you.
1:17 College, and we use the term university too, players receive full scholarships.“The (National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) board of directors has adopted an interim policy permitting incoming and current student-athletes to make money off their names, images and likenesses. Under the NCAA rule change, college athletes get paid from their social media accounts, broker endorsement deals, autograph signings and other financial opportunities, and use an agent or representatives to do so.”
Next time you might include the entrance and march on to the Army-Navy game. Includes military jet fly-overs and sport parachute jumps onto the field.
Larger college teams usually have 100 or more players on them. College teams usually have larger crowds than pros also. No the players don't get paid but many get free college being on scholarship.
To whether college players, any sport, get paid, the answer used to be a solid no. NCAA, the organization that lords over all college sports, made a rule decades ago that college players were not allowed to get any monetary benefits outside of tuition. This changed over the last year or so. Now college athletes are allowed to profit off their name, likeness, and image. This means they can get money from outside groups such as boosters and companies, for advertisements. As of right now, I don't think any school physically hands athletes a "salary", but I could be wrong.
Football is like the #1 earner for these colleges. In fact the profits from the football team pay for the majority of the other sports teams at the college.
Even if you don’t make a video on them I suggest watching the 9/20/2001 Nebraska Tunnel Walk, the 2019 Nebraska spring game Tunnel Walk, and the Jack Hoffman touchdown run. The 2001 Tunnel Walk honors the heros of 9/11, the spring game took place after one of the worst flooding events in state history, and Jack Hoffman won the 2013 Best Moment ESPY award.
Also, there are different divisions of colleges. The ones you’re watching our division, one which is the top universities and colleges in the United States. Some players that play for division, one go pro and whatever sport they have a scholarship for. Division two players sometimes go pro, but not as often. Division three is the lowest division in college sports. Division III schools are actually the hardest schools to get into because some of them are private universities or just difficult to get into in general.
LOVE to see you react to the locker room tours for these college teams
Missed half of the Nebraska Tunnel Walk experience. Before and during the walk through the tunnel a video plays on the jumbo trons that ties into that days games.
And no, the majority of people at college football games are not students. Season ticket holders make up most of the attendees
I go to Baylor and our stadium gets used for some High School Football games, the Intramural Football Championships are also there
It's the original, 1869-present. The NFL didn't come until 1920. In addition we're a rather large country geographically, 3rd largest in the world. 32 NFL teams isn't enough to go around. NFL teams can also move, except for the Packers, while College teams don't.
Many, if not most, have their own stadiums, but there are some that are shared like Miami. The Hurricanes (1926) are much older than the Dolphins (1966), so it started with the Hurricanes sharing their stadum, then the Orange Bowl, with the Dolphins. Now it's the other way around and they both play at Hard Rock Stadium.
they can be used for other events but those stadiums are built for the football team, college football is HUGE here in the US.
Yeah ! Bring on Part 2.
I graduated from Ohio State over 20 years ago and I still watch every game. It's a multi billion dollar industry because the fan bases are huge. Once you're in, it's for life.
Nothing is more exciting for an 18-22yo university student than college sport - football, basketball, baseball, track; but for big schools it's football. You shouldn't have copyright claims because these are sung/played at college games but not from a particular artist.
NFL rosters have 53 players exactly.
College rosters vary around 125 players, (with only 75 who travel to away games) This is because they lose 18 - 30 players each yr to graduation, you have injuries, development of younger players and the use of scoute teams .
Offensive & Defensive scout teams are basically quality practice dummies . All week in practice they simulate the schemes/tactics/ plays the next opponent will employ . This gives the starting Offensive & Defensive players more time to focus on what they need to accomplish.
Damn that's a lot of players! No wonder they don't pay the college teams 😂
@@BritishGuy22 Ha yeah 🤣 . But to be fair the football programs $$ funds all the other mens/women's sports a university has. Usually 25 sports. Non of the others make $$ . Plus it is VERY expensive to run a FB program. Their facilities are better than Pro and players get the best medical, rehab, nutrition specialist, room & board, tutors, ect...
@@BritishGuy22 You will not believe it ! React to college Football facilities, Alabama by sports dissected Coiski... weigh rooms, locker Rm's, meeting Rm's, players lounges, rehab facility, nutrition centers, indoor practice facilities, ect.... its CRAZY
@@robertdedrick7937 This is a good idea, I studied Sports Science at university too so this is my kind of stuff! Thanks man
Some of the states don’t have nfl team so college football is super big, some colleges stations hold more fans
it's about 30-45% college students at a game I'd guess
Night game at Iowa is a great entrance..
Before I forget, you absolutely need to watch “Remember the Titans” and “We are Marshal”! You won’t regret either one of those movies! GREAT GREAT MOVIES! Some of my favorites! If you haven’t already seen these 2, they are absolutely must watch, your welcome!! Great job! You earned your like AND subscribe from my son and I both!
As a college football fan overall, I have been an Ohio State fan for as long as I got into football as a kid! I’ve got some answers here for ya but you’ll experience it in those movies as well…
N.I.L. (Name,Image,Likeness) is when the players finally started getting payed, just started recently I believe ‘20-‘21 check into it
Yes the chants and the traditions are all different
NCAA football games got banned years ago Because the players couldn’t even make money unless they were drafted to the N.F.L. (Obviously not everyone does) they never have gotten paid until N.I.L. Most get paid 6-7 figures. But because they never got paid, college is so much better imo and you can see that play out on the field they’re all college students out their! All wanting to make 8 figures a season for 20 years! Once they get there the competition isn’t as high where as in college you have in most cases 3 some stay 4 or 5 years before the draft with everything on the line!
Last one lol the reason so many players is the depth chart 3 to 4 strings usually per position for obvious reasons!
Alright I’ll leave ya be lol 😂 Go BUCKEYES! News Years Eve ‘22 season CFP nothing to lose everything to prove!
@4:03 I guess you missed that the colors of Michigan is Blue & YELLOW......what stands out more in a big group....blue or YELLOW.
3:35 University of Michigan Wolverines. Michigan stadium (The Big House) is the largest stadium in US and 2nd largest in the world. Teams have dual colors; Michigan's is Maize (not yellow) and Blue (Navy). ManU's colors are red & white but those red devils dominate color is red. GO BLUE!
The largest stadium in the world is like in north korea so I say fake stats michigan stadium is probably bigger
You brought up the chants, check out
Texas A@M. Those guys not only have the largest stadium in the SEC, only have male yell leaders, have the largest Corps in college, but the also hold Midnight yell practice. Trust me you won't be disappointed
A lot of it is about school loyalty and state loyalty.
Home field is about noise when visiting teams have the ball..Teams can't hear each other can cause penalties etc
you should of show the ARMY VS NAVY////// NAVY VS ARMY......that game started in like 1880 or 1890.........
If you like chants before and during the game, Texas A&M is the best at unison chants in college football.
I’m a Michigan fan but I think Florida state has the best entrance
Thing with the Michigan entrance is you don’t even get to see the James earl jones video in this video
That Tennessee entrance doesn't show the fans lined up to see the Vols players walk from the bus to the stadium. I'll try to post a video of that...
There was profession soccer match, and a college hockey game played in the Big House once. They use them for other things sometimes!
Casual fans only know stars on teams, regular fans know most of that years starters and hardcore fans follow each recruiting class so they know every player. College football recruiting is also very interesting and not similar to most sports. Players aren’t drafted they pick where they go. Also, until recently, players were only paid in a scholarship and luxury facilities. Now they can make money off their celebrity, stars make a solid amount of money in endorsements.
Depending on the program u may know the starters but there can be over 100 kids on a team with walk ons. And A Lot of College stadiums are bigger than pro stadiums and the games better attended.
And Michigan is one of the few college stadiums that holds around 107000 people and is the largest stadium in the country.
A Gamecock is a fighting Rooster and cock means the same thing in US.
You won't know every player every year, but more of just the best ones who have a prospect of going to the NFL. I talk about games/dates and years of our team or individual stars throughout our history more than being able to list every player that has played at my favorite college.
Stadiums are usually built just for the individual college. There are about 230 large colleges that have their own individual stadium. Most public and private colleges do, football is a great driver of funding for the university with ticket sales and merch sales, etc. At some schools, the football program is the only net positive thing about the entire school.
The official colors of Michigan are Blue and Maise (Yellow).
Fans at these games are of all ages. Students are the smallest group at the games. A Gamecock is a small game bird, like a grouse, that is hunted.
Cock has the same meaning in the US, but it also means rooster and a gamecock is a bird
These stadiums are on University campuses, and are generally used only for football. Many have larger capacities larger than NFL stadiums. Example, University of Nebraska's stadium holds more people than the city's (Lincoln, Nebraska) actual population. As technically being amateurs, our college football players didn't "wink, wink" use to get paid, other than a meager college athlete stipend. The college game served as proving grounds for the money they'd make in the NFL. Now they have Name, Image, Likeness deals, but still aren't allowed to hire agents or managers to help with financial advice, the structuring of such contracts, etc.
As a brit who loves American football college is better than NFL love the hype love the traditions, cant wait to see a live game 😁
You gotta be a super fan to memorize every college football player on one team
- SOME of the players are paid
- SOME of the players are somewhat of celebrates
- The only stadium in this video which is also an NFL stadium was Miami's.
- With attendees, you (usually) have 2 student sections in the stand for each school, alumni, and just fans in general.
As a college football fan, I do not know the names of EVERY player on the team I support. (FSU) However I do remember the names of the playmakers and support them onto their NFL careers no matter what team they get drafted to, I want to see them do well. The fact that you left the audio in even though you know you're going to get a copyright strike so the viewers can get the same effect, is great. Got me to sub and like.
If you, the british guy had to chose a college football team to root for, what team would you chose?
It's not different in England. Same slang term here. However, a gamecock is a real thing. It's a rooster that has been bred specifically for fighting. Not sure how common cockfighting is anymore.
Wisconsin jump around is one of the great traditions in College Football.
That’s debatable.
I love that you seem to favorite Michigan, you seem like a smart man.. GO BLUE!
College players aren’t paid. They can get NIL (name image likeness) deals for example advertise for a company on a commercial. The stars of the game are celebrities, but there are also a lot of backup players and they aren’t celebrities.
Theres so many players because of a thing called personel groups
College/universities are were the NFL, NBA and to a lesser degree, NHL & MLB get their players.
As someone's who's lived on both sides of the pond, I can say that college football in the States is the only thing that really can compare to Premier League football in terms of the fandom, chants, and traditions. Pro sports leagues such as the NFL are way too commercialised over the in the US and seating is a free for all at NFL games. With college/university football, you have designated away seating sections, amazing atmosphere/pageantry, traditions that are over 100 years old, and very passionate fans who are also graduates of their respective universities. Boomer Sooner and COYS!
Maybe I need to check out a game when I come to America then. I was always going to check out a Baseball and a NBA game but I heard NFL tickets are too hard to get so a college game sounds like an amazing alternative!
@@BritishGuy22 Definitely do try to go to one. However, keep in mind not all college teams/traditions/atmospheres are the same. Some are notably better than others. Most of the universities you saw in your reaction video are some of the better atmospheres in college football. I def. do think you should still check out an NBA, MLB, or NFL game just because those are unique in their own way.
Auburn university fly an eagle during their intro/ pre game
Things got crazy un my house when my dad's a alma Univ. Of Arkansas played my Alma and best team TENNESSEE.
In college, it’s actually illegal for players to get paid. In any college sport paying the athletes would pretty much be like bribery, because athletes go to colleges on NCAA scholarships. The NCAA is very strict about their rules and no paying their players.
First: these entrances are awesome even though I have no love for any of these teams. 'Murica!
To answer your question, there are just a handful of stadiums that host both college and NFL teams: Miami, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Some other NFL stadiums host neutral site and bowl games.
In the 90s, a lot of American guys thought it was cool to wear white baseball caps with "COCKS" on them.
College Athletes have been given scholarships for awhile but only just now started to get paid for their Name Image and Likeness (NIL)
I might be a Michigan State fan but Penn State's Whiteout is something else
Just college football!!
5 of the top 10 biggest stadiums in the world are college football stadiums!
Depending on which video you use, the volume for US team's "chants" seems lowered when I watched other RUclipsrs. I've never been to a UK's game and I know that they're loud, but have your chants caused the Richter scale to go off indicating an earthquake, like that of some stadiums have in the US?
I'm a Michigan (Go Blue) fan and our stadium is the 3rd largest in seating compacity in the world. There's nothing like a Saturday afternoon tailgating (cooking out, drinking and socializing at one's vehicle) prior to and/or during the game.
Some video suggestions
biggest college stadiums
biggest NFL stadiums
Biggest MLB stadiums
longest homeruns per stadium.
Thanks as always man, keep the ideas coming!!
"...they must be making some serious money off this." The colleges make the serious money.
Yes College Football is AWESOME!
You must come and attend a high profile contest at some point. It is life changing.
I would say a general american football fan could name all the players on their local nfl team, most players in every other team in the nfl, and nearly all of the star players in college football.... but there are fans who definitely don't fit that mold.
They are pretty much celebrities but i think it is against the NCAA rules for them to pay their players
I don't know EVERY player...but as the season progresses, there are injuries and then you learn more players.
GO BLUE!!!! Nothing like the Big House on game day
Most stadiums are comprised of the general public. There is a "student section" in most stadiums, but that only makes up about 25-30% of the stadium.
Kentucky has the smallest sec conference stadium at 61,000. LSU the highest at 102,000. College stadiums are generally bigger than nfl stadiums
6:03 Mainly football and someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Arizona Cardinals are the only college and NFL teams that share a stadium.
That's crazy, the stadiums are so big!
I know Pitt and Pittsburgh Steelers share a stadium too
MLB Angriest Ejections Ever (Savage Moments)
So if two of the biggest college soccer or rugby teams played in your country, how many would show up ???
We have a Varsity game each year against your historical rivals that MIGHT attract a couple of thousand of people. Apart from that there might be 100-200 at a Game.
Playing sport at university is not the pathway to becoming professional though in the UK
Are biggest university sports event would actually be a rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge 😂
That's for posh people though down south, where I come from there is no interest in that
The University is making money, yes. However, other than scholastic sholarships, no, they aren't getting paid. The penalties and fines both the school and the players would receive if they were being paid, are not something the want to mess with. The teams however are allowed to feed their athletes, and I'm sure that involves some serious grocery bills.
You do not know every player on an american football team. However, of all the players you see run onto the field in one of these intros, about 1/3 of them actually play, the rest are reserves. The NFL has a maximum of 53 man roster, college teams have way more!
Enter Sandman won't get copyrighted. Metallica supports Hokie Nation. They've even done a live game intro for them.
