They weren't that bad during the 2004 game. A lot of loud-mouthed neanderthals to be sure, but I did not see any Pats fans attacked or anything like what is being claimed. We were the only 2 Pats fans in our section of the stands and I thought for sure we would have something lobbed at us when we cheered, but nothing happened. After the game a lot of fans became trapped on a ramp coming down from the upper deck. At first it was sort of tense as everyone was all bunched up and just wanted to get out of there, but then some loud, drunk but funny Pats fan started a running commentary, saying things like, "you think by the time you make the Super Bowl you could have come up with a two minute offense?" Everyone ended up laughing, including the Eagles fans (who outnumbered Pats fans 2-1). When we got out on the street we were walking back to our car behind some Eagles fans and when we passed them we said, "Good game." They said, "Can we ask you something? Why are you being so nice?" LOL, we said it was a close hard fought game, so why should we rub it in their faces? I guess maybe they wouldn't have been so gracious, but I honestly didn't see any violence last time, and the warnings were the same. You've got to figure that the worst thugs can't afford to go to a Super Bowl anyway.
