Thanks for clarifying that for me. They have happened at quite a few NRL games I've been to recently at the Cauldron in Brisbane, including at the State of Origin, when Queensland smashed NSW. So much fun, I love them!
Minimum of 25 needed to start wave Clockwise in northern hemisphere May be counter-clockwise in southern hemisphere Speed of wave = reaction time of 0.1 second x seat width
They did know what was going on thats why! No one could be bothered doing it so at half time (when half the people are inside) the pa announcer told them to play along, but they 'cleverly' edited it to make it look like they were the ones doing it!
So the algorithm is recommending something way back from 15 years. About which I wasn't bothered enough but still watched it till end and even commented.
Actually, it can be started by just one person and move the whole Estadio Azteca (105,000 pp). Its just a matter of doing it and yelling and asking everyone arround to do it. And then try and try again till it goes all around the stadium. But as joseluisyago said, it only happens when the match is boring enough to pay attention to the ppl and not to the game.
The problem with this test is that the fans would have seen the tv cameras and brainac shirts and assumed they were doing some kind of mexican wave experiment so they want join in because they're on tv
i love mexican waves :D but... they banned then at the Gabba (cricket stadium) in australia :( :( party poopers. and cricket is 1 of the most boring sports
why is it called a mexican wave? but lol at all the empty seats you can buy tickets and just choose your own seatt and sit in the seats closest to the field, lol.
