50 Pictures of Fans Freaking the Freak Out
Forget the box scores, highlight reels and player reactions. The only way to truly judge the outcome of a game is by reviewing the stadium-wide fan reactions.
Not their comments or ridiculous poster-board signs, but rather by their open-mouthed gawks, ferocious stares and comical flails. Fan shots are rarely normal, and never subtle.
There's no scenario in which these passionate fanatics aren't seen erupting like a pot of boiling water.
These explosive diehards continue to define the world of sports.
Here are 50 pictures of fans freaking out...hardcore.
We thank the photographers for catching these epic moments and the fans for having the audacity to produce such breathtaking art.
