The Wave has swept over fans and stadiums for years, but where exactly did it come from?

Was it born in Mexico, at the 1976 Olympics or at a Canadian hockey game? The origin stories of the wave at sporting events include speculation, obscure anecdotal references and flat-out falsehoods. The first documented case of the the wave lapping over a crowd and captivating a stadium is documented and was captured on film and was born in the mind of cheerleader named Krazy George.
