[edit] Cheering tradition
At the beginning of basketball games, there is tremendous applause and cheering. There is a long-standing tradition wherein the fans remain standing and applauding until both teams have scored a basket. Some fans sit down as soon as the Lobos have scored, whether or not the opposing team has made a basket; many fans consider this poor sport, and the applause continues. I once attended a game where the opposing team did not make a basket for over eight minutes of play; my hands were still stinging a couple of minutes after their first basket. The home team advantage comes from the sheer volume of the noise, as well as the altitude: Albuquerque is a mile above sea level. --BlueNight (talk) 02:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
