Student section
open-in-new
<p>A student section or student cheering section is a group of <a href="/facts/Students/zJY5rdvh">student fans</a> that supports its school's <a href="/facts/Student_athlete/6xTutBIR">athletic</a> teams at <a href="/facts/Spectator_sport/uPf9sMKI">sporting events</a>; they are known for being one of the most visible and vocal sections of a sports crowd as well as for their occasionally raucous behavior. They are most often associated with <a href="/facts/NCAA_basketball/RKfLFya3">NCAA basketball</a> and <a href="/facts/NCAA_football/sQHYX0Ct">football</a> games, but can be found in several sports in both college and high school. A student section is an important part of a school's fanbase and a significant contributor to <a href="/facts/Home_advantage/FDLem0tC">home advantage</a>. </p>
