Camden Chat The "O!" Policy

I'm making the trek from LA to Petco Saturday for the game against the Padres. It's my first time going to a game where the O's are the visiting team (DC doesn't count) and I'm trying to figure out the protocol for chanting "O!" during the national anthem.

I love my hometown and I love my team, so there's the tradition aspect, but I realize that (1) I'll be in someone's else house and (2) there are a lot of people, especially from other cities, who find it disrespectful to chant anything during the anthem. 

So what say you, Camden Chat? Do I stay loyal to our beloved history and fandom or do I respect the home team and not douche up my visit (yeah, I'm talking to you, "Fenway South")?
