I went to a PSG vs Auxerre game in 2022 right before the World Cup started … and the Auxerre section of the stadium was cheering loudly all game long, even as they were down.
They lost 5-0. But they didn’t give AF lol. It was pretty cool to see.
Fans here in the US are mild af.
And I paid like $105 to get a row 1 seat near the middle of the stadium …
That same seat for an NBA game is like 50x the price, and way more for NFL.
Very true. American sports are more entertaining to me but the crowds and atmosphere are terrible. A division 3 football match in Germany would have a better atmosphere than any American game by a mile.
I think it has to do with how dangerous F1 is, so booing somebody who could have a fatal crash is frowned upon. But the atmosphere for any race not in the sandpits is always good.
Not just euro fans. South America, too. I was at a small local professional league match in Colombia, and the cheering section was only a few thousand people at most, but rowdier than an entire playoff arena in the states. Drums, huge banners/flags, chants, etc. it was awesome.
European sports fans are just different lol.

yall never been to a game in the hood and it shows
It’s mostly just football fans, rather than Euro sports fans as a whole.
European F1 fans get all bitchy when a driver gets booed, for example lol
