The next factor involved in attending a sporting event is the overall atmosphere which to me is always the best at a college sporting event. While controversial, the Kansas State vs. Kansas game is notorious for a certain chant when the game rolls into Manhattan. Typically, towards the end of the second half of the game the song Sandstorm by Darude is played and a chant of “F*ck KU” rings out from the Kansas State student section. As I have many friends that go to school at K-State this chant is something all the students look forward to as I have even personally heard the chant at football games. While not respectful and flat out wrong, this chant is something that I consider a part of the rivalry. Some may have a very different view on this, but I believe things could be much …show more content…
There was a bunch of events throughout the game that I noticed such as a furniture company having someone shoot from a recliner to win a recliner or a trivia round where contestants could win money and tickets to an upcoming game. As I work within the marketing department in Wichita State athletic department, we handle all the event extenders at home basketball games so this is one thing that I was sure to pay attention to. The events that they had were much shorter and faster than what we have, whether that was due to TV time cuts or just a department choice they were almost hard to catch. The halftime show at this event was decent as it was a group of kids who did tricks with jump ropes, but it was nothing that captured the crowd and really entertained them. One section of time they used very well was time at timeouts. Every timeout there was some sort of video, advertisement, or statistic that they had to show which made everything seem smooth and flawless. Overall the fan opportunities and event extenders were used very well and very
Characters: Stevie and Susan Carol are the two main characters of the book. It also had many minor characters.
As an Iowa State student, I enjoy going to the games and supporting my school and team. The games are what I look forward to every weekend. There is a common characteristic of the love for Iowa State and Iowa State’s athletic teams in the stadium. The excitement from all the students and other Iowa State fans brings joy to my eyes. My favorite part of the football games is when all the fans in the student section are standing on the bleachers and cheering together and supporting our team. Although our football may not be very good, we still go to the all games and see our football players do the best they can and bring a win for Iowa State University. Everyone enjoys when the fight song plays and when we sing all the common cheers all together. The stadium gets so loud when there is an exciting play that happens in the game. When there is a touchdown for Iowa State the stadium gets so loud that I can’t even hear myself think and I enjoy the commotion from everyone where we all go around and high-five the people around us. With so many fans, the stadium must have a good size to hold all the cheering fans in one place. Because of so many fans, the stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference (by capacity) and the third newest in the conference. The record for most attendees to a single-game was against Kansas State with an attendance 56,800 people
On Thursday, October 6, I was able to attend the UC Davis women’s soccer game on our home field against Cal State Fullerton. I arrived to the game with 2 other classmates about 30 minutes prior to the start of the game. The setting and environment prior to the game was calm and relaxed with music playing on the speakers. The weather was hot, with a slight breeze and many people brought hats and sunglasses since they would be sitting in the heat throughout the game. Everyone who was there early was talkative and smiling whether they were fellow students or family members, they all seemed to be supportive and ready to watch the game.
Sports Authority Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos professional football team. A stadium filled full with 76,125 loud and dedicated fans. The atmosphere is intense when the stadium opens for the football game. The away team always goes on the field first. The stadium erupts in boos and a various amount of cuss words, some that I have never even heard before. The creativity of the fans is almost like an R- rated Shakespeare is inside them. The staff sets up an inflatable horse with smoke coming out the sides and fireworks bursting in the air above it. The Broncos come to the field and the noise from the cheering and yelling is almost enough to make you go deaf. It sends chills down your spine
Rare is it that warmth crowds wrath for the spotlight when the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Colorado Buffaloes crack helmets in their annual Big Eight showdown. Yet that was the mood this season at chilly Memorial Stadium in Lincoln as fans applauded loudly every senior playing his final home game.
People getting arrested, drunk, and in fights for a game? People all across the world attend sports of all kinds. Fans can not always be the nicest or like the other team but that shouldn't stop you from being a fan or going to a game. Infact it’s good to be a fan of a certain team, studies showed that if you have strong liking of a particular team it can actually make you a healthier, happier, and more social person. So if you don’t particularly like a sport just turn on your tv and try watching some type of sport who knows you might just like it.
It was a hot summer day in Miami Florida. It was an hour before game time. Both teams the Giants and the Patriots have been Rivals for years, but today they will face each other and turning who is the real champion of the YFL (Youth Football League).
Last week at the rally it was very intense and had so much excitement throughout time. The rally brought much entertainment to our husky crowd. The rally was motivating because our huskies needed to be pumped up to get the crowd into it. The crowd felt they needed to help our teams get the motivation to get the win and secure our home fields. The way our teams played they played really hard so they can try to win for our school. The rally brought our fan base together to feel we could win no matter who the opponents are. We all came together to feel the pride we have for our school. The rallies are great ideas to get as much of the motivation we can to keep the feeling going. The way our sport teams play we play with much passion and play to
Viewer experience of a Cleveland Browns game and Smithville Smithies game is very different. When you walk out of the dimly lit hallway and into the stadium at First Energy, the sun is blinding. The grass field looks so good that it could be easily mistaken as artificial turf. There are over 70,000 fans on any given Sunday. While looking around the stadium you can see orange and brown colors everywhere of fans representing the home team. Occasionally you can see different colors scattered amongst the Brown’s colors of the fans representing the other team. Noise from the crowd is so loud, it makes it hard to hear people sitting in the seat beside you. When the browns are announced they ran out of the tunnel and the whole crowd stands up to cheer. Many fans at the browns game fans are drunk, and yell at the other team’s fans. After the browns run onto the field they start warming up. Quarterbacks start passing the ball to each other, the centers are snapping, and the punters are
Game Entertainment: When our team runs out to the field and when the game ends fireworks will be fired, When our team scores a burst of fire will come out of our gun shaped flamethrower, out of our paid birthday announcements for fans, paid proposals announcements and shown on the jumbotron for game replays and as if it was a kiss cam, dance/music performance at halftime to hype up the fans, we will have musicians play during the breaks such as Steve Earle, Holly Dunn, Christopher Cross, etc.. on our stage and the national
When a college has a successful athletics team they get national exposure, but not only do they get that they get international as well. With this, the college has a lot to go off of from all the attention people start to notice the school and its success. They want to know who they are, what they’re about, and where they come from. Everyone wants them on their cover of their magazine, in their commercials, wants to be a part of what they have going on. It helps build a fan base around the world, over the past few years Wichita State had an increasing fan base overseas especially in Asia. They had a fan fly all the way from Asia to here in the U.S
During high school basketball games you mostly hear just the parents cheering and yelling. However, the few lucky home players sometimes get the experience of having a student section cheering them on. I have been on both ends of the student section: cheering in one and playing while one is cheering you on. Both are extremely fun and great to experience.
The things that I thought worked for the program was that the kids were all welcomed with open arms and enthusiasm, which helped them to feel comfortable and excited about the activities of the day. They were able to arrive and have something to eat before starting the day. The opening ceremonies each morning gave structure and allowed the students to know what they could expect during the day. The reflection time allowed the kids to have quiet time or time to burn off their excess energy by playing basketball or football out in the grass areas. I think the guys truly enjoyed the time playing sport and could see that college life can include both academic and recreational activities. It was nice to display both arenas to them. The swag contests
While screaming “you can’t do that” a girl claps with the group in order to push the buttons of the competition whenever they would mess up a play. The cheerleaders stand on the track, leading Mayhem to be wild. The air is cold and the day is slowly ending yet the fans know exactly what that means; a party is happening after this game. That cup of coffee in the girls’ hand that kept her hands warm gets thrown out after the final touchdown is made, and now onto celebrate the win. The fan does not see what the field stands for. She does not see the importance of the field or really the track around the field. She see one more game they attended with friends. She sees one more night of fun, goofing off, being a kid who will soon graduate and live the best possible life. She does not realize that this crowd will move on and have something important they are leaving behind. That is why the track is irrelevant. The fans as a whole have their own important places and times. Whether that is also a track or a baseball field or the town park, they see the track as a place to cheer and the field as a place to win some high school games. A space with buttery popcorn, burgers, and warm hot chocolate that can be smelt from a mile away. Fans do not see the hard work put in at track practice or any other sport for that matter when running laps and neither does her. Everyone in that school has used the track at
Regarding intentions of fans to consume their favorite team, research has found that fans of intercollegiate football were more likely to consume their favorite team when they were playing a rival team than a non-rival team (Havard, et al., in press; Havard et al., 2016). Building from these findings, we expect that fans of professional sport will be more likely to consume their favorite team when playing their primary rival than secondary rival.
