Word song we will rock you

The connection to sports arenas was actually part of the song since its conception, as Brian May told Billboard that the sound of fans stomping on the original Boston Garden’s wooden bleachers was what stuck in his head and inspired the song’s production.

A combination of easy to remember chorus, synchronized clapping opportunities, and allusions to “sport” made it a strong candidate for arena play. Once introduced to sporting events, it went on to spread very quickly for the reasons listed above.
