Dynamo Boot Camp
If you’re a new recruit to the Dynamo community, you can quickly look like a pro by following the Dynamo fan chants and traditions.
- Team Introductions – As the starting lineups are announced over the loudspeaker, join in and yell out each player’s last name.
- Scarves Up – Stand and raise your Dynamo scarf when the team enters the field prior to kickoff. If you want to join in but don’t have a scarf, visit the Dynamo Team Store located on the north side of the concourse before the game.
- We Are Orange – Immediately following the national anthem, the Dynamo supporters groups lead this chant. It’s easy to catch on, but a first-timer can memorize it here.
- Streamers – At select seats, fans will find a Dynamo streamer waiting for them. When the Dynamo score a goal, throw your streamer high in the air. Streamers are also available for purchase at the Dynamo Team Store. Streamers should only be thrown up and never onto the field or at any player or official.
