If you're a sports fan, you know there's nothing better than walking into a stadium and hearing cheers and hoots and hollers from thousands of people as you all get ready to cheer on your favorite sports team. When you walk into a stadium and see almost everyone wearing jerseys and t-shirts in support of your favorite team, whether that be baseball, football, etc. there's almost a familial feeling to it, like you're all friends because you all support the same team.

While we'd all prefer rooting for our favorite team at their home field, sometimes we're such big fans that we're willing to drive up a few hours to watch them play another team in a nearby state; sometimes we're fans of a team whose home field isn't anywhere near where we live so we have to see them any chance we get, even if it means cheering for them when they play our home team, like if we live in Michigan but root for the Anaheim Angels instead of the Detroit Tigers.

If you've ever cheered for the away-team, you know these five things to be true:

1. Everyone stares at you

If you've ever cheered for the away-team, you automatically feel everyone glaring at you as soon as you walk into the stadium. Most of them probably resent you for wearing a jersey or t-shirt that isn't for the home team, while others either wonder why you traveled so far to cheer for the team, or why you're a fan in the first place.

2. You feel like you're the only one cheering for the away-team

One of the worst parts about rooting for the away-team is that you're in a stadium with at least 15,000 people but you're only one of a handful of people cheering for the away-team. That means, when a player on your chosen team does something great like hit a home run, score a run, or kick a field goal, you feel completely alone when you cheer for them and continue to get more glares from everyone around you.

3. When the home team makes a great play, you're one of the only people sitting and not cheering

There's nothing worse than cheering for the away team and a player on the home team hits a home run or something. While the thousands of people surrounding you are standing and screaming for the team, you're sitting with a pissed-off look on your face because it should have been your team to hit the home run, and you'd rather be the only person cheering than the only person not cheering.

4. You don't care what anyone thinks of you

You might be in enemy territory, with thousands of people surrounding you who are cheering for the other team and wearing different colored jerseys and t-shirts, but you scream and cheer and act as crazy as you want anyways because you have pride for your team and don't care what anyone thinks of you; you stand by your team at all times.
