OT: No fans at Lincoln Financial for Eagles games this season

Weak reply on both counts. You can do better.
My God, you guys win the Superbowl once and the way you talk you would think the Eagles were a dynasty since the beginning of time. Face it, you're historically a below .500 franchise. It's like Rutgers fans talking sh*t to Ohio St. fans. It just doesn't work.

I'm not part of a fanbase with the inferiority complex. Sorry.

Have I seen stupidity in my years as a Giants season ticket holder? You bet. Around me though it always seemed to be from the guy(s) just there for that particular game.

They could have been Giants fans or visiting ones but I don't recall ever seeing an incident STARTED by the people I grew up around.

Listen, go through the thread again. I was merely pointing out how these threads routinely turn out butt hurt Giants fans in droves. I wasn't talking about anything on the field.

Please. I don't have any kind of an inferiority complex. It's sports, get over yourself.

Not a Giants fan or an Eagles fan. Just grew up in Hunterdon County about equidistant car ride to both Philly and NY, so we went to games in both places as a kid.

Personal experience... one time was at the old Vet in the 80's when I was around 10 with a friend and his parents. Some loudmouth threw a full cup of beer at me and hit me in the back. I was standing up and he was angry at that I guess. Mind you I was probably just over 4 feet tall. Never forgot that. That piece of trash probably put in a full week's work at his job cleaning portajohns to afford that day out and his beers too.

No Giant fan in the thread seems to be concerned about OUR behavior and the need to defend/explain/justify it.

Alcohol can do it to all of us. And towards the end I noticed it more from the day trippers than the regulars. So much so the night game became a Jet game in blue, if ya know what I mean. LOL

That's because it's the same members of the complaint club chiming in. Not justifying anyone's behavior, just not buying some of the stories, which seem to be embellished more with each thread on this subject.
 
In other news, arrests and court cases in Philly are predicted to significantly decrease this fall. Also, no horses will be punched.

HEY!

Based comments from Desean and Malik (Farrakan's Eagle) Jacksons - I think they'll see the demand go down anyway.

We have many great fans but also some total losers here and there just like every fan base. Philly though compared to others just seems to take it to another level. They seem to have more lowlifes and their low is just lower than others. They also have many super fans of course. Maybe raiders fans are worse overall - I could buy that.

No worse than any other fans. Just a shortcut for the media and the uninformed to make "evil philly fans" a story. Any group of 40K mostly drunk sports fans will have their share of A-Holes.

In your lifetime, how many times have you ever heard of people throwing snowballs at Santa Clause? That's why it has the longevity, because people simply don't do it. Well except Eagles fans.


Yes that was quite frustrating navigation going from Giants stadium to the new Eyesore. I remember quite a few curse words being screamed as I stared at a wall. Then trying to find someone to tell me how to navigate this elaborate mouse trap they designed.

Do a little more research into the Santa event.

People like you who refer to the Eagles as "you guys" and likely refer to your team us "we" and "us" are pathetic. Yea, get riled up about two football teams, neither of which you play for or know any members of. This thread had nothing at all to do with on-field performance. Are you seriously saying that, because the team you root for has more super bowl wins than the team he roots for, you are more able to talk about topics like stadiums and attendance? Sweet logic.

Yup, and that's why these threads are useless. Group therapy for Giants fans more than anything else.

What in the hell are you mumbling about? So you don't get riled up for your sports team? When Rutgers plays psu you calmly sit in your seat and give a golf clap? Or exclaim good form chaps? Cut the bullsh*t, if you weren't a huge fan, why are you on a Rutgers sports forum.

As for the we and us, yes whenever my teams suck I take ownership of our suckidness. However when they do good I always refer to them, as Rutgers is good or the Giants are good. Just something I've always done. For example: we suck or we can't get a 1st down, we need a new head coach. Or they're doing good, I can't believe they scored a touchdown.

And how in the hell did you reach the conclusion at the end. Your thought process simply astounds me.

I did, so they took out their frustration on a stand in Santa Claus(the real one never made it) because the team sucked 2-12 and ownership failed to clear the stands of snow. What I found interesting in the article I read, even Chad Peterson admitted to getting batteries thrown at him as a visiting fan.

I thought Eagles fans only booed Santa Clause and Giants fans hit that San Diego Chargers equipment guy with an ice ball?

As I said earlier in the thread and the video says here in this case it was mostly non season ticket holders.

That's been my experience with regard to the knucklehead factor...not 100% but it was almost always not someone I saw around me every game.

You take ownership of a team's losses? A team you're not a part of?
And to answer your question, when Rutgers plays Penn State I stand and cheer. And when we lose, I drive home and forget about it within an hour. I have a pretty fulfilling life, so I don't live and die with sports teams who wouldn't know it if I didn't exist. Sure, I enjoy watching them play, and I like it more when they play well and win. But I can't say I've judged someone by the teams they root for, and I certainly don't let someone get under my skin by saying their team won more super bowls back in the day than my team.
All the hate probably stopped for me when my buddies and I went out to Penn State for a game and had our best experience of any road game we've attended. Their fans were absolutely wonderful to us pregame in the lot and postgame at the bars. True story...we had 2 unpleasant run ins there, and both were with Rutgers fans. Right there, I kinda figured the hate for people we don't even know is pretty silly.

What is that? an Eagles fan throwing up or eating manuer? if the latter... that is gross.
As a Giants fan, I have to agree Lincoln Financial is a much nicer set up than Giants stadium. I've seen some crazy things happen tailgating at the Meadowlands/Giants stadium but never that above. WTF.

Just going with what I’ve seen first hand.
 
I would amend what you said slightly. I don't think Philly has more lowlifes. I think the number of lowlifes is the same, proportionally, as many other cities. I think Philly's lowlifes are just worse because they're proud of it. They enjoy being fake tough guys and think it's ok to physically fight over whether the team you root for is better than the team I root for, which is ridiculous.
I've been going to games in Philly for almost 40 years and 95%+ of the fans are pretty normal fans. But that 5% gives everyone else a bad name because they're morons who can't help themselves.

Think you hit it here -- I don't think Philly has any higher of a percentage of crazy fans compared to other cities, but the percentage that do have are certainly something else.
 
It's crazy how one dumbass eating horse crap somehow defines an entire fanbase, or a 'Santa' story from 60 years ago gets brought up regularly among the media as if it's every day behavior but when things happen in other cities like beer bottles being thrown on the field, visiting team fans being killed in the parking lot, or fans running onto the field to attack players/fans it never gets brought up again after the initial reporting...

It's easy to be nice to visiting fans when the game is never in question.

With Greg back, let's see how the post game bars are far RU fans at Pen St after a Rutgers win
 
Back in the 80's, a bunch of us from Ft Meade, including a few from the Philadelphia-Camden area, would take leave for the afternoon and drive up to a twi-niter in whatever park that was then. Would place hoagie orders with a friend who met us at the game, buy five soft pretzels stuck together from a stand before those were outlawed and drink beer, eat and watch baseball, usually against an Eastern Division rival like the Mets or Pirates. A flying squad of team personnel rushed to break up fights maybe a half dozen times during a doubleheader, and Phillie fans were sometimes reminded by the PA not to throw stuff--like cherry bombs--into the visiting team's bullpen, risking a forfeit. One of our number regaled us on the way up one time with an in-person story of the day Santa Claus had to be taken out of the stadium under police escort. It is cold. It is snowing. Heavily. The Eagles are trailing at the half by three touchdowns, and out comes Santa Claus. He is greeted by a chorus of boos and then the first snowball is heaved at him and it becomes a barrage. Took a police escort to get him out of there. His version was much, much longer, but that is the essentials. And I think of the drunk Flyer fans that used to come to see the Flyers play the Washington Caps. By the third period, they were not even facing the ice, many of them. Sorry, but when I think of Philadelphia fandom, can't help but think of them booing Santa Claus and pelting him with snowballs.

I look forward to going back. It's amazing how showing up there without any animosity made things so much better for us.

The difference is that in the "City of Brotherly Love" this crap happens again and again and again. These aren't one off fans. Philadelphia clearly has a higher percentage of fans who are absolute animals. It's that simple.

No it doesn't have a higher % at all. If Met fan ran on the field half naked only those in attendance would know. If it happened in Philly it would be discussed all day on WFAN.
 
So two days ago the city says specifically no fans in the stands for Eagles or Phillies games. The next day the city revised its statement saying, what we meant was public gatherings which did not include the stadium. So basically the Eagles and/or the NFL called the city saying WTF are you doing, back up, and we'll have fans if we want to.

As someone else said, let’s see what happens when it’s a real game.

And that’s everywhere and not talking about State Penn specific.
 
Exhibit A. So was this post necessary? You can look in today's NY Post and find plenty of stories about NYers as wackos and criminal.
Because right in the article it says the flight was to Philadelphia. :)
