That is just Philadelphia. Love the city but Eagles fans are terrible. Everyone should go to an Eagles game to understand they should never go to an Eagles game.
I went to an Eagle game in Philly back in 2003 or 4. Any way it was the year the Pats got off to a poor start and this was an early season "must win". It was also the game that Rosy Colvin hurt his hip, and the Pats won in a romp.
Any way I had great seats right on the 40, and impression I got from the Eagle fans around me was by the second series they were killing the Eagles, Reid and McNabb in particular. I mean by the 2nd quarter the only one who had anythng good to say about the Eagles was ME. . And remember this was a team that had gotten to the NFCCG a few times and the superbowl in 2004. I have never seen fans so hard on their team. (they'd be a good fit for the game day thread. )
Now as far as trouble, I wore no Pats gear, except my cap, and only received the usual stuff you'd get as a fan from another team, all pretty good natured. But then I was 6'1 210; still had an 18" neck, could still BP 25o, and at least APPEARED formidable. . Now day's I hope I'm still 6', have a 15"neck, would be lucky to BP the bar, and NO one at 70, appears formidable,
My friend who got the tickets, was the guy who lived in Jersey and I went to several Jets games with over the years. He was a Raiders fan, btw, who was an NFL freak. After the Jets game I usually went to his house, where he had a TV room with multiple sets and a different game on everyone, and we'd watch more NFL. Like I said this guy was an NFL freak. Anyways we were sitting in what amounted to the Red seats at Gillette. (Law firm tickets.) So that might have mitigated some of the animosity I might have felt if I was in the nose bleed part of the stadium.
