A little almost on topic rambling. I just like the dome loud. I don't need predetermined chants to get into the games though it might be nice for the whole experience. When the dome is quiet it's very quiet and when it's loud it is unbelievably loud and exciting.

Is part of it a shift in fan culture? Presentation/expectations/increased security?

My uncle used to bring me too a lot of games when I was a kid. Football and basketball. We cheered the entire game and so did the entire section. Sometimes the crowd looked like it just came from work, more orange-speckled than orange.

Now when I go to the games people are decked out in orange gear and the dome looks pretty fantastic. But I often feel like the only one really into it in the section. 
I get the stink eye just for standing up and cheering or clapping for a good play. My sister, all 5'4" of her was approached by a security guard bc a fan a couple rows behind us complained that we were standing with under two minutes left in a tie game.

I like the stand n clap bc at least we are all unified and it's somewhat unique. At least we have something to do together and I can stand up without getting in trouble. Lol.

Not every game will get a "what a wild singing at the Carrier Dome!" But I for one will compntinue to do my part.
