An Open letter to the four guys who sat in front of me on Sunday,
As an outspoken critic of the crowd at Gillette stadium let me say you four embody EVERYTHING wrong with that place. I was somewhat pleased with the crowd on Sunday. For an early season day game the crowd was into it enough to make it loud on every defensive third down and on critical plays late in the game (I would like noise on every defensive play however). However you four snobs did not make one peep for the entire 60 minutes. Not one of you was dressed in a single item with a patriots logo, though I did see a US Open golfshirt and two red sox hats. You all wore tight khaki pants with tucked in shirts. You spent most of the game drinking Sam Adams beers and talking business. You only stood when you had too and not one of you showed any enthusiasm for the Pats. And worst of all like I said not one of you made a single peep of noise. I at least hope you had a nice ride home to Scituate, Duxbury, Weston, Cohassett or whatever snob town you live in. Lord knows you probably beat the traffic when you left with 5 minutes left in 7 point game. As a 29 year old self made man who holds a very advanced degree from a very prestigous university let me say that I can not stand your ilk. The "I am too good to cheer or show any enthusiasm" crew, as I call them. After all, I don't think there is any shame in supporting the home team to the fullest. That is why we deal with weather, traffic and exorbitant ticket prices. Next game, the four of you can keep your lilly white asses at home as far as I am concerned. You all spent 170 bucks to watch a football game with the same level of energy and enthusiasm that you could have had for free on your couch (And 8$ beers as well).
Warmest Regards,
An enthusiastic Patriots fan and believer in creating a true home field advantage at Gillette.
