5 inspiring times sports fans belted out the national anthem and gave us chills

It’s a moment that always gives us chills.

It’s the sound of thousands of fans taking over and singing the national anthem before a sporting event, whether it’s because there was a technical difficulty that stopped a singer from doing his or her job, or because the person at the mic simply stepped back and let the crowd take over. Sometimes it’s to support a singer who might stumble over the words.

So now, on July 4, feels like a perfect time to remember a few of those moments and to get chills one more time. Let’s look back at a few notable fan-led anthems:

2013: Bruins fans sing in unison after the Boston Marathon bombing

2016: Cavaliers fans sing before a Finals game

2017: Oilers fans step in during a playoff game against the Ducks

2017: Devils fans help a singer out

2019: Blues fans step in when there was a glitch
