Preseason Rituals: Weird Superstitions Real Sports Fans Swear By

Posted on by Elle-Blogs

Are your palms starting to sweat? Preseason jitters setting in? As we start getting excited for another NFL season, that also means that fantasy drafts are heating up, and fans everywhere are dusting off their lucky gear. Because for true sports fans, wins and losses don’t come down to stats alone—they hinge on superstitions that are sacred, strange, and sometimes downright hilarious.

Whether it’s wearing the same unwashed jersey for weeks or refusing to watch a game with “jinxed” friends, sports fans will go to great lengths to feel like they’re helping their team clinch the W. These quirks are the fun rituals that bond supporters together and make for the best game-day traditions.

Sports Fan Superstitions 

Let’s dive into some of the most interesting preseason rituals that we’ve heard about from our customers at Bout Time:

  • Lucky Seating: You must sit in the exact seat every week, and if someone else tries to take it? Nope. Not happening. It’s reserved for you and you alone.
  • The Untouchable Jersey: It hasn’t been washed since the playoffs three seasons ago—and that’s precisely why it’s powerful.
  • Socks and Sandals? Absolutely. If your team won while you were wearing them, it’s your duty to rock them every game until further notice.
  • Pre-game Meals: Whether it’s an order of extra crispy wings with tangy gold sauce or The Original Chubby Melt that must be consumed in its entirety, some fans swear by eating the same thing before kickoff to bring in good luck.
  • No Talking During Key Plays: One wrong comment during a third-down conversion could spell disaster—so complete silence is enforced. Holding your breath is sometimes acceptable too!

We get it! Sports are emotional, and every little edge feels crucial. That’s why we embrace game-day traditions at your favorite neighborhood Bout Time Pub & Grub, where every competition is a serious affair. Come in your lucky gear, share your rituals, and cheer like it’s the championship—because we’re all about friendly camaraderie and a little bit of good-natured superstition.

Trivia Nights

But the preseason isn’t just for prepping your tailgate snacks and shouting at the TV. It’s also the perfect time to warm up your sports brain. Think you know your team’s history inside and out? Want to prove that your superstition-fueled fandom also comes with serious trivia chops?

Then join us for Bout Time trivia nights! We’re talking themed nights, giveaways, and a chance to flex your knowledge of sports stats, player history, weird records, and more. Plus, there’s excellent food, cold beer, and the best crew of fans you’ll find anywhere.

Football Fever is Back Everything You Need to Know About NFL Preseason

Posted on by Dan Eckersley

Are you ready for some football, because it’s time for NFL Preseason! That’s right, another year of thrilling gridiron action kicks off now. Whether you’re a former player, dedicated fantasy football player, or just love a good game, we’re sharing everything you need to know to get the most out of NFL Preseason viewing. We’ll break down key dates and how to make the most of the upcoming weeks’ insights. Plus, we’ll show you how to make your preseason viewing experience at Bout Time game-day worthy.

What’s Important about NFL Preseason?

The NFL Preseason serves as the appetizer before the main course if you will – the regular season. 

These preseason games allow teams to test their rosters, try new offensive and defensive strategies, and give fans a sneak peek of what to expect. Of course, unlike the regular season, these games don’t count towards playoff standings, but they hold immense value in preparation. Coaches and GMs use the preseason to evaluate players, especially rookies and those on the bubble to determine final starting rosters. Expect breakout performances and unexpected stars to emerge as players show off their talents to solidify their spots. 

For fans, the preseason is the time to dust off your favorite team’s jersey after months of offseason by getting early eyes on new draft picks in action, witnessing position shuffles, and speculating on team dynamics. 

What to Watch for in NFL Preseason

One of the most thrilling aspects of the preseason is watching rookies make their NFL debut. These young talents bring a mix of raw potential and determination to prove themselves, so keep an eye on these fresh faces as they show off their skills.

Preseason games are also the perfect stage for position battles and the competition is fierce as they can significantly impact team performance once the regular season begins.

Coaches also use the preseason to test new strategies and playbooks, so you’ll get a glimpse of their innovative offensive and defensive schemes.
