Hey all,
So I'm looking to find out all that I can about stadium-specific songs for NFL teams in the league. So with that in mind, give me all that you can as it relates to your home squad's stadium-specific tunes!
I'm looking for things that affect kickoffs, 1st downs, red zone, touchdown, play reviews/challenges, general time outs, etc.
I'll take as many responses as you can dish out so name as many scenario-specific moments as you wish as long as they're authentic to that team/stadium.
Thanks everybody.

I'm not writing this to be disrespectful, so please don't take this that way. This thread is labeled that it is for feedback, and as such I wanted to give feedback about the question you are asking.
When I first saw this thread, I actually thought it was supposed to be placed in the NCAA football forum, and I was/am concerned when I realized it's intended place is where you put it. I know the Madden team had success this year with adding entrances to the game, but outside of a few recognizable chants (J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS), the "pageantry" of the game isn't as important to the NFL like it is to college football.
You don't have to look much further then this thread to see that most people really don't even know what song is played and when in NFL stadiums. If this thread was posted in the NCAA Forum asking for the same information, I can all but guarantee you would have well beyond 7 or so pages of response. Most of which would be very detailed and very accurate.
NFL Football is not College Football. The things that are important to college fans are not as important to NFL fans and vice versa. For example, an NFL fan would care more about sack and TD celebrations specific to each player, while a college fan cares more about what song is played in The Swamp after a sack of the opposing quarterback.
I'm not saying some teams don't have some really great stadium traditions, I'm sure most do. I'm also pretty sure most people have probably only been to a handful of NFL games. The professional broadcasts themselves between the two sports are completely different. You're lucky to catch the JETS chant on TV once or twice a game, but you're guaranteed to hear "Rocky Top" a good 30 plus times when tuning into a Saturday in Knoxville.
If your goal with this fact finding mission is to give us the best Sunday experience, then I would say the best information any of us can give back to you guys is to watch the teams home games on television and try to recreate that experience. Taking us to Reliant Stadium or The Link would be kind of cool, but it's not going to have the same effect on your end user as taking us to The Big House or The Zoo.
I hope I've not wasted too much of your time, and I hope you are able to gather the information you are looking for. I just hope you're looking in the right places for things fans notice about both the NFL and NCAA games.
