I live in Kenya, and while professional football (soccer) is huge here, the idea of a university having a 100,000-seat stadium that sells out every Saturday is absolutely mind-blowing.
I see clips of college games on national TV with massive marching bands and tailgates that look bigger than most professional events. Are these college games actually a bigger deal than professional NFL or NBA games in certain states? Also, if you never even attended that specific university, is it normal to still be a die-hard fan of their team?
