Baltimore Hawks fans have a game-day tradition called the "Scorp Chant". It is heavily inspired by the "Skol Chant" of Minnesota Vikings and "Viking war chant" of the Iceland national football team. The Baltimore Hawks version of this tradition uses the name of a legendary Hawk, Scorp. Before the start of every game and at various times during the game (such as scoring a touchdown or getting an interception), Hawks fans stand up in their seats and start yelling "Scorp" while clapping their hands over their heads. They continue to do so with an accelerating beat until they get twenty to twenty-five repetitions. Being in the stadium and witnessing this chant in person is one of the best parts of being a Baltimore Hawks fan. Our fans also love traveling and they also do the chant during away games whenever the opposing team's fans are not making a lot of noise, essentially turning any stadium to our home stadium. This gives our team a huge boost since home-field advantage is a very important thing in the NSFL. We also have other smaller game-day traditions, like tailgating and yelling bad things about our rivals however none of them are as important as the "Scorp Chant".
