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:
