Sure, DJ Khaled & friends created a fine alternative, but any sports fan knows that nothing tops Freddie Mercury singing at the top of his lungs and tens of thousands of fans doing so in unison. There's no doubt this is the superior pick given "We Will Rock You" works both as an instrumental or with lyrics to create an intimidating atmosphere at any point in a game, and "We Are the Champions" is the consummate celebration song. 1 overall - and the combined Queen chart-topper with two tracks issued together as a single in 1977. Those are "Seven Nation Army" - as selected No. There are plenty of times when the song is played at sporting events and the response is underwhelming, but when unleashed in the right time and place, "Swag Surfin'" is an elite stadium song.Īdam Silverstein: There are so many incredible stadium anthems, but three stand out for their ability to rouse a crowd and create unforgettable atmospheres. It was so lit that even Patrick Mahomes got in on the action. The swag surf in Texas Tech's home win over Texas this past basketball season looked legendary.
It's also a bit that plays well in basketball arenas. Just search "Swag Surfin' stadium" on YouTube and you'll see what I mean, as most of the top results are from college football stadiums. No song brings out more spirited crowd involvement than "Swag Surfin'" in the proper setting. The energy is so infectious that even onlookers can't help themselves.ĭavid Cobb: The best stadium songs, in my opinion, are the ones that elicit the most audience participation. The Wisconsin student section does it better than anyone, and that first "Jump Around" in the two years since the COVID-19 pandemic began was wholly cathartic. plural.īen Kercheval: Those first few notes in "Jump Around" give everyone just enough time to prepare, because once that beat drops from House of Pain, everyone loses their mind. That song makes you want to run through walls. It was the soundtrack to that scene and the Virginia Tech football team, but it's hard not to get jacked up even if you're not a Hokies fan.

"Enter Sandman" ushered in the 2021 season for the entire college football world in what was the first season with full stadiums since 2019. It brings the juice to Lane Stadium as the Hokies run onto the field more than any other entrance song in sports. Seriously, when was the last time you were sitting in a football stadium and didn't hear it? You can't remember, and you don't want to.īarrett Sallee: Great stadium songs take on a life of their own, and that's exactly what has happened at Virginia Tech with Metallica's "Enter Sandman". There's a reason it became an in-game staple the minute it was released publicly and hasn't gone anywhere since. In other words, you want "Seven Nation Army". Also, while lyrics are fine, you don't want too many, and it's better to just have simple noises. They're simple, repetitive, and have enough bass to make the stadium shake. Tom Fornelli: All the great stadium songs follow a formula. " We Will Rock You/ We Are the Champions" - Queen So these are the best ever, regardless of league or venue. Keep in mind that our draft was not restricted to a single sport. Keep scrolling to see which songs were taken and in which order. So what are the best stadium songs of all time? The college football team at CBS Sports decided to draft them this week. It was an epic moment for college football to see a sold-out crowd enjoying a collective moment of passion following the capacity restrictions of the 2020 season due to COVID-19. All of Lane Stadium seemed to be jumping in unison to the 1991 Metallica classic as the Hokies entered for what turned into 17-10 upset win over a top-10 foe. One scene that comes to mind transpired during the first full week of the 2021 college football season, when Virginia Tech ran on to the field for a game against North Carolina to "Enter Sandman". But even in sports without live bands, music piped through sound systems plays a role in the experience. In college football, some of that music comes in the form of university marching bands serenading the stadium with fight songs. Music is a critical piece of the atmosphere in most stadiums, as a classic tune played at the right time can change the mood of an entire crowd. While the on-field action is always the centerpiece of any sporting event, part of what makes being at a game so fun is the ambience.
