It's an amazing experience to be at the stadium and more so for a match that has a packed stadium. The atmosphere gets estatic as the game wears on.

Hi Tonucatien,

Spectators are the people who watch the match. The word is usually used for sports events, it is also common to describe people at football matches as fans.

Thanks for telling us about the formatting errors in the phrasebook - we will change it as soon as we can.

Maybe it's better if there's a video each for booing, chanting, and cheering? Just an opinion.
