So I've sat in the middle seats a few times and have heard the simple "Lets go Galaxy" chant get started by fans there a few times. It never picks up because of LARS, ACB or Galaxians drums drown em out. My idea:

After the 15 and 60 minute LA-GALAXY back and forth chants, let's unite and do this chant. It's very simple for anyone to pick up and I guarantee you it will get loud if we have ACB and us doing it at the same time.

If you don't know what tune I'm talking about, here it is:

Ignore the "VC Sucks part", we'll use the drums there to coordinate with ACB and the rest of the stadium.

Agreed. It works at baseball games all the time because its so easy. I mean shit, if angels fans can do it in unison (of course after red sox fans get let's go red sox started) fans of the galaxy who have at least a pulse will be all over this. I say give it a try. I think I have actually heard it in the goalline seats earlier this season. ' Let's go galaxy *clap clap clap clap clap* ' or if you want put any word in place of galaxy ie. La or Donovan or Beckham or Jesus Christ or Tommy Mack.

Well, we do have that simple baseball, Dodgers type chant, that goes:

Clap
Clap
Clap ClapClap ClapClap
LA!!!

If this simple thing doesn't get the stadium going nothing will. But hey, anything is worth a shot.

I think people need words of encouragement thrown in to the chant.

In terms of baseball-type chants, the loudspeakers usually have a "drum" beat going, and the jumbotron usually has the words up also. I think that helps a lot in getting a "stadium wide" thing going, you don't typically see the fans behind 1st base start something in a vacuum that the whole stadium joins.

Having said that, I've heard rumors of the Galaxy loudspeakers joining the action but won't speculate about specifics....

This shit's done 30,000 times a game.

The most beautiful moment was when we got 135-140 and more sections rocking this at one of the games this year, it was awesome.

And we all know how much the rest of the stadium gets into that one...(vocally)

Only reason I mention this chant is because I've heard regular fans start it. This will work better than the chant u r talking about because:
1) LARS and ACB will be doing it together after the LA-GALAXY back and forth chant. The fans who joined us in that chant will most likely join us in this one.
2) It's fucking easy!

Like you said, if this doesn't work, nothing will. We gota start basic with the fans though. This is a good first step IMO.

Sound reasoning, really. I'll help when it comes up.

The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.
