Games in Turkey

This picture should be at the end of the post but this is when the people are leaving. This is 20 minutes after the game is already over and the fans are still yelling back and forth at each other. They wouldn't let the visitors leave until all of the Karsiyaka fans were gone and the groups outside were gone. There are usually about 60 policemen with full uniform sitting in the stands the entire game. Helmets, shields, guns, beating sticks the whole get up. Nothing serious has ever happened but at least we know they are ready! They finally formed a line along the seats and walked pushing out the fans. It was fun to watch and that's what you call loyal fans!
The fans are INCREDIBLE! It may not be the biggest arena but the fans are loyal and do not sit the entire game! The crowd is this big all the way around. There isn't a seat to be found unless you want to sit in the visitors section which I wouldn't recommend to anyone! They get yelled at and harassed the entire game. The arena is so loud that you can't even hear the person next to you. IT IS SO MUCH FUN!
This is the crowd about 45 minutes BEFORE the game even started.
I love this drawing. They also call Ryan Superman! Watch the 2 videos below...
