The ultimate intro songs

After nearly two decades of covering all types of sporting events and listening to introduction songs as teams take the field, court or gridiron, I have come up with my personal best intro songs of all time. The ultimate songs are based on closing your eyes, imagining a team or boxer coming out to the court or field and the feeling that you and an audience would feel.

Intro songs are a vital part of setting the scene and motivating athletes and fans. From the NBA Chicago Bulls to the WCW Freebirds or Von Erics wrestling tag teams, music has played a huge part in sports. Today you will be educated on multiple songs that any school or university should use in their athletic programs.
