Do you find yourself lost and confused at sporting events? Do you cheer for the wrong team or dress in all white when the theme is ‘blackout’? Then this is the list for you.

These five essentials will get you set for any sporting event, no matter how Cardinal Crazy you are.

1. Your phone. Clearly you will not be paying attention to any of the action right in front of your face, so your cellular device is an essential item to have to keep yourself entertained the whole time.

2. A blanket. Sure, you’ll want to keep warm the whole game, but the real purpose of bringing a blanket is so you can nap during timeouts. Or, even better, for those of you who really like to sit as far from the action as possible — getting the perfect panoramic viewing — you can use it to sleep through the whole game.

3. A whistle. Say goodbye to being fed up with referees’ calls. As long as you have a whistle with you at all sporting events, you can make your own calls. I mean, IHSA highly frowns upon that kind of behavior, but it’s not like you’re gearing up to take a fan section on an imaginary ride or anything. So, in reality, a whistle might just be the tame choice.

4. A snuggie. Just in case the blanket doesn’t cut it, you can get snuggies in all types of patterns and colors. You could even find one for any theme: blackout, whiteout, neon, zoo or, a Cardinal Crazy favorite, country camo.

5. A FatHead of every person on the team. This doesn’t need much of an explanation. Not only are FatHeads festive, but they can block everyone else’s view who is sitting behind you. They also might help you out in the weather to combat the wind, sun or snow — depending on the season of course.

Happy super fanning, Sequoits!
