List of stadium specific crowd rituals, crowd sections, music, etc.

[Russell_SCEA]

We are looking on improving the stadium atmosphere in our franchise, so we wanted to find out if any teams do the following in their stadium:

- Are there any specific crowd rituals that a team does during a game? For example, in Atlanta, the crowd chants and does the tomahawk chop. Also, the Balfour Rage sequence in Oakland.
- Is there specific music that plays when a home run is hit by the home team?
- Are there any stadium specific songs that a team plays during a game? For example, "Sweet Caroline" plays at Fenway during the 7th inning stretch and "Celebration" plays in Oakland after the A's win a game.

When answering these questions, please use this template:

TEAM - Oakland A's
BRIEF SUMMARY - The crowd in right field does a Balfour Rage ritual.
FULL DESCRIPTION (Add photos or a link if needed) - When Grant Balfour comes into the game, the right field crowd the Balfour Rage. There is accompanying music that goes with this.

Re: List of stadium specific crowd rituals, crowd sections, music, etc.

TEAM - EVERY team's crowd
BRIEF SUMMARY - The crowd sits down and quiets noticeably after the game's 1st pitch. They stand and cheer for every 3-2 pitch with 2 outs and Visiting runners on base if a close game. Almost every inning.
FULL DESCRIPTION - The game now has the crowd going bananas the entire 1st inning, and I think standing in the 9th innings no matter the situation.

I am not being a smartass here guys, it would just be nice to see improvements on what's in the game now if work will be done on the crowds.
(if you feel this is controversial, ask a mod to delete.)
