Worst fans?

[milwaukeebeers44]

Since moving out of New England, I've had to catch most of my live Pats games in 'enemy territory.' So far I guess we've been pretty lucky, but I have to say that I was appalled at the treatment I got from the Titans fans at this past Sunday's game in Nashville. The locals were great to us before the game, but during and after?? There was the usual "Brady sucks," but along with that, there was the "hey, girl, in the Brady jersey! Get out of our section before we make better use of you, you <insert nasty four-letter word here>!" I was also spit on and had stuff thrown at me, just for sitting there (definitely not instigating). My poor husband, fearing for my safety, made us leave our seats for the concourse before halftime! While walking back to our hotel, a Titans fan threw a beer bottle at me from a car window.

I guess I expect it as a visiting fan to, say, Ohio State from Michigan (on one trip, car tires were slashed), but to a town that has has a team for less than a decade? I've gotten better treatment at Yankee stadium!

I guess that was me just venting. . .but I'm curious as to where you guys have had some bad fan experiences at away games??

Nasty but Philadelphia is worse. The only courtesy I ever saw was to Gene Upshaw 15 years ago, now, they'd probably beat the crap outta him too.

Broncos!!!! Yep they get my vote.....:rocker:

[patriotspride]

wow where have you been?

[seahawkspatriotschick]

wow where have you been?

Relocated back to Seattle for the time being...
Thanks for asking!;)

[fleabassist1]

Pretty much the entire Afc West ... and then Philly fans.

[Cityofchampions33]

Philly hands down, and yeah that was a gerat Family Guy, lol, shaboopy

[F0nSY]

Broncos fans :mad: :mad:

[Seymour93]

Houston fans were pretty bad when I went there a little over three years ago.

Planning on going to the Pats-Cowboys game, but from the TV it seems like there's always a large amount of away fans in Texas Stadium. I remember a season or two ago it seemed that Steelers fans populated half of the stadium. Hopefully Pats fans can make just as good of a turn out.

Been going to Pats Road trips for 20+ years. Been to Miami, Houston, San Diego, Kansas City, Denver, Oakland, Chicago, Minnesota, New Orleans, Carolina, Atlanta, San Fransisco, and Arizona. This year we're doing Dallas & Baltimore. 2008 is Seattle. No question on the WORST fans in the world...

#3 Miami

#2 Denver

#1 OAKLAND

Those Chokeland fans are ANIMALS. Just downright ANGRY people. Talk about needing to watch your back. You can't even go to the restroom unless you've got a crew to go with you.

NICEST fans HANDS DOWN are Kansas City. Nicest PLACE to go to has to be either San Diego or Arizona. Weather is awesome, golf is great, and nightlife is fun. LAMEST place... Minnesota. City is dead & no one cares about the Vikings. It's a HOCKEY town for sure. When you mention football, the GOPHERS rank ahead of the Vik's.

Granted, we've never been to Philly, which I here is pretty rough. No plans to go there ever.

[fleabassist1]

I am going out on a limb and saying Chargers Fans.

[Nikki]

I am going out on a limb and saying Chargers Fans.

Right now they certainly are putting their best efforts forward for the title :rolleyes:

But I agree, Philly peeps are scary! And Philadelphia as a city is frightening as well :eek:

[Chargerfan21]

I am going out on a limb and saying Chargers Fans.

I am going to go out on a limb and say you're ugly.

[fleabassist1]

I am going to go out on a limb and say you're ugly.

That's okay, I am fine with that, child.

Worst fans? Philadelphia, easy.

Worst experience from opposing fans? Pittsburgh on Halloween 2004. There was a lot of Steeler fans very happy to end the streak, and it showed.

Broncos!!!! Yep they get my vote.....:rocker:

On behalf of halfway sane Bronco fans, I'd like to apologize for the drunken ****s at Mile High. There's some real *******s there. I AM a Bronco fan, but since I'm a chick I've had beer thrown at me and all sorts of crap. You all may not like me when I argue with you, but at least at Mile High I'm not throwing **** at you and yelling the whole game. There's definitely a contingent of total *******s.

So, sorry about that.

The worst fans are Raider fans. My friend had a knife pulled on him when he went to a game there in a Bronco jersey.

[Bruschi 3:16]

Jet fans were the worst Ive ever encountered.

[Kevin The Pat]

Since I live in Jacksonville and I'm 13 so I don't get that much crap but the Jets fans have to be the most pathetic fans I have ever encountered. But it pays off when someone scores on them and everyone who hates the Jets chantes J-E-T-S Jets Jets! Jets!:D

[Jacky Roberts]

Jet fans are the scum of the Earth.

[reflexblue]

Jets fans ARE the scum of the earth,but San Diego fans are puhing them hard for first place.

[DisgruntledTunaFan]

That's easy-Philly fans-the same people who threw snowballs at Santa, cheer the other teams' injuries, BOOED Jeff Garcia(when he was having an incredible game, that is), Booed D-Mac on draft day 'cuz they wanted some doped up guy instead, the list goes on.

[Croox]

Bears Fans. they only patriots game i've been to was in 95 when the pats beat the bears, I was 12 and some drunk assclown threw a beer at me and told me to go home. I get harassment from complete strangers when i wear my Pats gear around. Your football team sucks and urlacher is way over rated. Deal with it.

i went to the Pats v. Denver playoff game and i had a great time. I walked around the parking lot a visited some Denver tale gate parties. the fans were very cool, giving me a herd time and joking around. when i got to my seat, the fans next to me and in my section were very cool. On the way out after Denver won, some fans got a little out of hand yelling stuff, but they were drunk and so was i. It was a good time.

San Fran has some good fans as well.

Oakland is the biggest bunch of low lifes i have ever seen. they are the worst.

[NHBoltsFan]

Ok I have seen Charger/Pats Games both in NE and SD. I have only been spit on by Pat Fans once. It sucked. But still the worst fans for an out of town fan to have to deal with is Oakland's. Just the opinion of the NH Charger Fan

[Bannoman]

My three brothers and I have been doing an away game for the last few years (next week Bengals !!) Here's my take for what it's worth:

Miami: expected a lot of harrassment considering the long-time rivalry but fans were really mellow..think they were all retired and on valium... No hometown tailgaters to speak of, the stadium was a quarter empty until halfway through the 1st Q and it emptied out halfway through the 4th; stayed in South Beach so, needless to say, the nightlife was kicka**!!

Washington: fans were pretty cool..just good natured teasing..tailgating is basically a few miles away from stadium in sporadic business parking lots, so you end up with a bunch of mini parties, (Skins provide shuttle bus so that's cool); can't speak to nightlife as we had a cool sports bar in our hotel and hooked up with a hundred or so Pats fans who were staying there.

Arizona: without a doubt the best time yet. Fans were pretty cool albeit missing-there's a huge Pats fan base there. It was their openning day, but Pats fans must of outnumber them 3-1!! Tailgating was awesome, probably due to the volume of homies. Nightlife was pretty good as well...have a few local bars that sponsor Sat night Pats parties.

Carolina fans there are still pretty cranky about SB loss, but good natured in general. Tailgating not great..a bunch of mini parties in small parking lots..if ever go again will probably just hit a local sports bar before game. Nightlife okay since you're right in the middle of the city.

Buffalo a good time. Fans are pretty classy and no dummies when it comes to football. Felt an air of "hey we think you Pats guys are okay, but we LOVE our Bills so don't bust our chops too much". Stadium is old style and pretty cool. Tailgating is a ball. Lot of partying. If you ever go, make sure you hook up with Murphy's Pats. They're there every Pats game. Night life not so spectacular..lot of little local bars, but still a fun town.

Yeah that was long..got a bit carried away.
