Anthem

[RayRay]

When I first heard the crowd going nuts just looked at wife wondering wtf was happening and she had that same look. The guy gave me goosebumps but cheering the whole time threw me off. I know it's a Blackhawks thing but it was still weird. I know there is protocol for Military but how do you feel as a fan? I normally just soak it in, the Ravens singer is absolutely out of this world so I don't want to cheer while he's singing. This would take some time for me to get used to.

He definitely got them worked up. My father-in-law and I were watching this together and were surprised that everybody was cheering the whole time.

[JohnnyHustler]

Not sure I like the constant cheering. It would have been more powerful if everyone would have been singing instead of cheering, IMO.

[YEM]

Not a fan of the cheering throughout the whole thing

Was a different feel. Its their thing. I thought it was pretty cool, but mainly because I hadn't seen it before. I wouldn't be a big fan of it constantly.

[rabb]

it is cool, I am personally not a fan of it but that's just the veteran in me...I stand with my hand on my chest until it's over

[ptrain86]

No. I think the more respectful thing is at least silence if not the hand on heart, hat off, etc.

In Bmore we yell "OOOOOO" at one point so can't really say anything I guess.

This is our guy-amazing voice.

Yeah it annoyed the hell out of me during the Cup finals with the Blackhawks. For me it is stand quietly or sing along with hand on heart looking at our flag.

Didnt bother me a bit and the guy seemed to like it.

Jammer, doesnt your fans usually boo the song, singer, president, crippled kids, and Jesus himself?

lol

as many times as I have heard/seen it, the anthem always makes me a little teary eyed and proud

and when they do the flyover, I get goosebumps every time

[Lambshot23]

I love the flyovers at games, definately gives me goosebumps. We make a point to leave tailgating to make sure we do not miss the flyovers.

[rabb]

same here...plus I like to get to my seat just a little early to watch some warm ups

[ptrain86]

flyovers are amazing. Had some huge flippin' helicopter one year and it was even better... that and another time they did a double sweep which no one really expected. I almost pooped.
