A basketball fan’s guide to creating chaos
Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports Basketball is a unique spectator sport. The game is played indoors, in a relatively small venue compared to football, and everyone is right on top of the players. All of this adds up to why road teams in basketball face the most disadvantage of any road warriors across sports. College football has some incredible atmospheres, but the close quarters and the acoustics of an indoor stadium allows basketball fans to impact the game in a special way. Not only can they hear the fans, they can feel the court shaking and see students dancing in front of them during a free throw.
