in terms of the profanities/insults being yelled. What do you expect? It's an NFL game, you have a bunch of kids in their 20's drinking at a tailgate for 6+ hours before the game that kicked off at 6pm.
As long as there isn't any personal attacks or racist remarks, I think it is fine. No physical attacks as well obviously.
The only issue I have is the throwing of things- especially open beers. Nobody should have beer dumped on them or thrown at them. Not only is it dangerous, but it also makes for an unpleasant experience. Add to that the fact it is the middle of January.
Fine? We obviously have a much different opinion of what fine or acceptable behavior is. You really think some drunk getting in someone's face screaming FU over and over and over again is fine?
Just because they're drunk and didn't do worse doesn't mean what they were doing is fine,IMO.
Yea, it is fine for what I expect out of Philly fans. If you want to wear your teams jersey there, then you have to be prepared for what is going to happen. You will be called names and booed, but you signed up for it when you walked in there in a Vikings jersey. All it takes is a simple google search to understand this will happen to you.
Then again, I have been to many football games in Morgantown, WV which is very similar to this environment when you are dealing with a bunch of drunk college students. I wouldn't expect this out of the Giants fanbase, but the Eagles yes.
RE: RE: I saw the Giants play at Philly 5 times between Â
2000-2004 and experienced the exact same thing. I'll never go back.
Was the 5th time what really got you or something?
Haha - funny!
No, the 2nd time was the worst (The Ron Dixon game). The issue was my father-in-law had season tickets for the Eagles and asked me to go every year. It was a big deal for him and hard for me to say no. He understood when I finally told him I oculdn't do it anymore.
lets cut them a break. Afterall, they have been sentenced to a lifetime of misery living in Philadelphia and the biggest thing that will ever happen in their life is the eagles winning the NFC Championship game.

Ah this old argument.The equivalent of asking a rape victim what she was wearing.
I was at the Giants-Falcons playoff game a few years ago Â
where the Falcons beat the snot out of us. Woman sitting in front of me, dressed in head-to-toe Falcons gear, turned around and patted my leg sympathetically. I believe she was sincerely trying to be kind, but it was far worse than getting the Philly Fan treatment. I wanted to crawl under my seat.
Overall, took some light abuse from the Falcons fans, but there was no real venom in it; folks down here seem to grok that we can root for our teams and talk a little smack but remain friendly...
for whatever reason, philly doesn't give 2 shits about the sixers. When the sixers or phillies suck the fans stop going to the games. The few that are there during those down years (the true fans) aren't aholes. Eagles fans though? nuts all the time
Funny, in an Eagles douchebag way.
This is accurate. The video on Twitter is there if you do the search. It was a huge sign that you had to use spray paint for the letters.

Went to a Knicks game last winter at Philly. Wore Knicks stuff. No issues at all.
Figured we got lucky.
