We all have seen that one fan. That fan that’s at every game. The one who makes a spectacle of themselves jumping and cheering. Some wear costumes, wigs or wave signs. Many have traditions of heckling or chatting with players both home and visitors.
Heck, this description fits just about everyone in the Noise Nation!
The Noise Nation's own Jimmy T with the Reading Express' Willie the Clown!
All these great fans add to our fun and enjoyment of the sporting event.
One thing we don’t always count on is the athletes themselves noticing us.
Our old friend Katie Burkart, (formerly of the Philly Force Softball team), sent us a note this morning of a new Twitter account dedicated to those crazy fans out there.
@WFansinStands Weird Fans in the Stands
“You know you’ve been to many sporting events and have seen the weirdest people. Here’s your chance to showcase your WEIRD FANS IN THE STANDS.”
“You know you all have been caught eyeballin’, gawking, starring at that 1 WEIRD FAN IN THE STANDS @ a sporting event that you wish your friends could see too. Now you can… Snap a photo, sign on to TWITTER, and add @wfansinstands NOW… When you upload your photo add #Weird(sport)FansintheStands so the different sports filter to the appropriate section… SNAP SNAP WEIRD.”
I know I’ve run into IronPigs, Steelhawks and Rollergirls out on the town. They normally approach slowly and say something like, “Aren’t you the guy that…?”
Anyways, it looks like a fun topic. I will be following this Twitter feed for sure!
