Surprised a sports team still sells canned beer as it can be a dangerous weapon when thrown full.

Instead of NBA game, go to a top university basketball game. The band, the cheerleaders and the crowd almost make it a religious event. Took my son to several Kansas Univ. games. Before the opening the cheerleaders are leading the slow and building to a rise, repeating chant, "Rock, Chalk, K-U."
Announcing the other team players, fans hold newspapers in front of them and shake them liked they're bored. Then when KU is announced, papers are shredded into confetti. In the student & general admission seats, you only sit down at 1/2 time.
If an opposing player totally misses a shot, the chant of "air ball," fills the court.
For teams from smaller schools, this can be an intimidation factor an take them off their game.

As for NFL, again go big. Fans at places like the Chief's stadium, are so loud the opposing team can't hear the quarterback call the signals to hike the ball.

For all sports, tailgating is part of the enjoyment.
