Very true. People were really respectful of your anthem and lots of us stood for it. That isn't surprising; if you're at a Football game, you're extremely unlikely to be anti-American.
It was essentially a Dolphins crowd, which was good to see as it went some way towards making it a home game for them (kind of!). Lots of people started supporting the Dolphs at school back in the mid 80s, as they were seen as the glamorous choice. I got a bit of flak for being a Pats fan back then!
