For those of us that went to the game: Eagles Fans

Route 9 in LEH : 10/7/2013 1:53 pm
It's CSB time.

Anyone have any stories they'd like to share? I've been to six Eagles games and I've definitely seen worse as far as they're concerned. It was kind of weird becaue I got dropped off by the Y lots and didn't see an eagles fan anywhere. Til they started scoring and it was 19-7 then they started to pop up. Had one guy talking a whole bunch of junk in my section. I think he came by himself. Decked out in an Irving Fryar jersey that looked fake. I saw there was a fight in 200s but thats about it. How was your experience dealing with these nuisances?
I watched the game with a room full of Eagles fans

at a sports bar. They decided to make this bar their home bar for Eagles games. Last year it was Jets fans.

Anyway, not as bad as I expected, none of them actually touched us (there were three Giants fan in the whole room) and didn't get right in our faces as I had expected them to (as Cowboy fans do). But they did brag about how they protect their turf in Philly and will beat up any fan that dares to show up in another team's colors. Real classy...

are the most courteous and fun-loving(who else throws snowballs at Santa)in the world.
And who doesn't love the Philly Phanatic, or their hockey and basketball fans too. So kind. So knowledgeable.
Route 9: Your mission is to guess if sarcasm is on or off. You have 99 chances, first 98 don't count.
not as many eagal fans as I expected

but even thought they beat us they are not very good either.
Some dude in my section (110 I believe)

with a custom jersey and a phillies hat was fine until the eagles started pulling away, then he became a loudmouth jerkoff, running his mouth and screaming, literally, after every single play. Whole section was telling him to shut up, eventually security got wind of it I guess and started acting like they were gonna toss him...but they didn't.

I mean, I get that we're "classier" or whatever, and I don't give a shit if someones wearing enemy colors, but when they start to abuse it and get loud and obnoxious, it gets pretty fuckin annoying. I'm not going to get thrown into jail over a game but it gets hard not to wanna knock someone like that into next week.

You know any one of us doing the same thing wouldn't make it out of philly alive...
Oneof the Eagle fans yesterday explained the Santa Claus thing

He said the SC the eagles hired to show up never made it, so the Eagles management pulled some drunk out of the crowd who happened to be wearing a SC costume and trotted him out, but the fans were wise to them and started booing.

At least that was his story...
Not so bad

There seemed to be fewer Eagles fans than in past years, and the ones who were there didn't seem as loud or obnoxious. They probably know that their team sucks, too.
The Eagle gfans in the bar acted like they were winning the Super Bowl

Screaming and jumping out of their chairs and running around the room. Worst part was they sang Fly Eagles Fly after every score.

Why don't we have a fight song?
The worst was the 2008 playoff game

fight songs are fucking stupid?
Fight Songs are bro-tacular homo-erotic douchebaggery  
Patrick77 : 10/7/2013 2:21 pm : link
I hope the Giants never have one. Singing a fight song sounds like a frat-boy thing to do.

Have a heart, it is the closest thing many of these fans will get to experiencing college.
They were fine  
andyreidisfat : 10/7/2013 3:42 pm : link
in my area.
No problems.
Cheered when they scored.
Shut up when we scored.
Faced forward for the most part (my rule if you are a fan of the away team is just to always face forward -- turn around and you're asking for trouble).

I still hate 'em.
:-)

We actually do have a fight song  
bhill410 : 10/7/2013 3:48 pm : link
Most of the older teams do - and yes it is absolutely god awful.
Here's the Eagles actual fight song...  
Optimus-NY : 10/7/2013 4:47 pm : link
Cry, Eagles, Cry

On the road to misery

Sigh, Eagles, Sigh

Blow the big games 1, 2, 3

Miss ‘em low, loft ‘em high

And watch our Eagles die!

Bye, Eagles, Bye

Bridesmaids of the NFC!

L-O-S-E-R-S Eagles!
