Norwegian fans of the World Cup recently attended a New York Mets game at Citi Field, turning the bleachers into a Viking longship with their traditional ‘Viking Row’ celebration.
A Unique Atmosphere
The fans, who were in the United States for the World Cup, brought a lively atmosphere to the game, even getting the Mets’ mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, involved in their celebration. Their enthusiasm was a heartwarming reminder of the power of sports to bring people together.
The Norwegian fans’ presence at the game was part of a larger trend of World Cup fans attending Major League Baseball games. Previously, fans of the Scottish National Team, known as the ‘Tartan Army,’ had attended a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park, singing songs and creating a lively atmosphere.
These interactions between international soccer fans and American baseball fans have been a highlight of the World Cup, showcasing the hospitality and warmth of the American people. As the World Cup continues, it will be exciting to see how fans from different countries come together to celebrate their love of sports.
