Honestly looks kinda cool, and I would join if the river wasnt so dirty that youll get an ear infection by splashing around in it.

As the chant started there was a part of me that thought it would feel amazing to be a part of that crowd, all there for the same thing, without even an opposing side like a sporting event but also on a scale no arena can hold.
The rest of it would be terrible and I feel I'm more susceptible to mob mentality than is ideal, but other than that it's interesting.
