Experience a Lady Vols game with softball's craziest fans

The Tennessee softball team has some of the most raucous fans in softball, and they call themselves the Lady Vol Locos.

If you're looking for loco, look no further than Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.

The Tennessee softball team has some of the most raucous fans in softball, and they call themselves the Lady Vol Locos.

"It's almost like a drug, we love it," said Locos member Terry Blevins.

There are about eight full-time locos that attend the games, decked out in silly outfits, props and lots of orange.

"Usually everything we have is orange and after that it's whatever we think is crazy.

The goal is to have fun, unify the Tennessee fanbase and support the team.

"I just think the players deserve and we really like it and we think it boosts the interest. We've had everyone from grandmas to first-graders tell us how much they love it. It just makes them get into the game more."

They even have a cheer for each player. For example, Lady Vol outfielder, Brooke Vines' cheer is "Hit it down the line Vines, hit it down the line!"

It can be a lot to soak in for visiting fans, who don't always enjoy the raucous, especially if their team is losing.

"They turn around right away. Somebody always says look away, don't look at them," Terry said as he chuckled. "Anyway, it's all in good fun."

The Lady Vol Locos try to attend as many home and away games as possible and make an effort to wear different outfits each time. The group spends hundreds of dollars on costumes each year and even more in travel expenses and hosting tailgates for fans.

They support all Tennessee teams by attending games, but their over the top outfits are specific to softball.

As much as their silly costumes are fun to look at, their crowd performances top it all.
