Stadium anthem

Okay, so you know when you go to a big game with lots of people and everyone is standing up and shouting and clapping together? That's called a stadium anthem! It's a special song or chant that gets everyone excited and happy to be there.

The music or words of the stadium anthem usually have something to do with the team everyone is cheering for. For example, if you were at a game for the New York Yankees, the stadium anthem might be the song "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra because it's a famous song about how great New York City is.

Sometimes, the stadium anthem can also be used to intimidate the other team. This means the song or chant might be meant to scare the other team or make them feel nervous.

Overall, the stadium anthem is just a really fun and exciting way for all the people in the stadium to feel like they're part of something big and important.
