What is the point of a "white-out"?

[officer andre]

Someone explain to me how this affects the visiting team but not the home team

 

[allen3xis]

The actual white out or black out doesn't matter...

but how it mentally has an effect helps....idk how, but it seems to.

 

[sohi 23]

It intimidates the players or something?
Idk

 

[nnarum]

I just want a free T-Shirt...

 

[answer iv dmx]

Cause for some reason it just gets the crowd rockin'

Penn State does an unbelievable job with their. Here at UM we can barely get 3/4 of the student section to do it (Maize out that is)

I thought you meant five white dudes of the same team on the court at once.

It's going to be more white than orange at the football game this upcoming season.

i dont get it either in basketball, though it does seem to have an effect on your vols tonight

 

[adidas all day i dream about shoes]

Gonzaga hoops?

Non-white players at Gonzaga are at an all-time high.

 

[tmay407]

This is better than any white out...

 

[big j 33]

It's just to look cool and get the fans excited...

 

[pharelfor3]

yeah they be crazy.

 

[three6mafia2007]

Fans feel more united, making them even more pumped up

 

[the pga tour]

I'd feel like an a-hole if i went there and forgot to wear a white shirt.
