back in '08. A few rows from us were two obnoxious drunks, one wearing a Favre Jets jersey and the other a Jets t-shirt. At one point when they updated the score of the Jets-Titans game on one of the boards, they stood up and started the J-E-T-S chant just the two of them.
I was very confused why they would go to this game if they weren't fans of either team and why they would celebrate like that surrounded by Giants and Cardinals fans.
I also yelled out a well timed "SUCK!" at the end of their chant, which led to them immediately yelling "WHO SAID THAT" as my family burst into laughter.
I once sat in the same section as John Leguizamo at a Knicks game. He acted very strangely. He would all out spring to his seat on the isle when he was going to concessions or the bathroom. A full out sprint weaving between people. Seemed really out there...

People used to throw money down to the ground at the center of the circular ramps. They’d goad kids to run and get the money, then pour beer on their heads. Also onto anyone on the lower levels who stuck their head out to look.
Now, ok, maybe he didn't want to go but family/friends did, and he reluctantly tagged along with his crossword book....but this guy was there by himself. So, he paid money to sit on a moderately uncomfortable seat and do the same puzzle he could have done at home for free.
In maybe 1999 or 2000. Some guy sitting behind me kept yelling the entire game "I HEAR YA" over and over. Like no hyperbole when I say it was non-stop the entire time.
... drunken Jets fan chicks at the bottom of the circular rotunda would lift their shirts on request... Blackout during Monday night Giants game (against Green Bay I think) was pretty cool.

Snowballs galore. One incident sticks out vividly. They used to have the UPS delivery of the game and a UPS driver would present a football to a random fan in a certain section. Anyway this guy gets pelted as he heads down the isle to deliver the ball.
It was crazy that day.
in 2004. A skirmish breaks out between a small group of Giants fans and a small group of Jets fans. One Jet fan loses a shoe in the skirmish. When security who is escorting him out notices, they send him back up the steps to grab his shoe. He picks up his shoe and a Giant fan says something to him. He proceeds to smack the Giants fan in the face with his shoe over and over again until security gets back at him.
I also saw a Giants fan spit on a family of Eagles fans consisting of a mother, father and 12-13 year old kid. They were respectful all game. The difference between Giants and Eagles fans was on display, though. When he spit, some Giants fans yelled at him and tried to grab him while he sprinted away. Eagles fans would've cheered other Eagles fans for spitting on the opponent.

yeah I was there and told that story here multiple times... the UPS guy. It was at the western end zone, lower level.
It was a night game that got colder as it went on. In the second half, at one point I make a quick bathroom run during the run of play. Old Stadium concourse is empty as beer no longer sold.
I see 2-3 security guys chucking two Bears fans who were obviously s-faced - guy and his girlfriend. Girlfriend is wearing Bears half-shirt is isn't half-bad looking. They are finally convinced to leave but are told they can't leave with the beer.
Girl looks at the security guard and proceeds to douse herself with the beer as if it was the most glorious stripper shower ever. Even the security guard is shocked but can't help but smile as she saunters out of the stadium. Class

That happened regularly at Jets games, up until Giants Stadium closed. It was bizarre.
game at the silverdome, long lineup in the men's bathroom and a lions fan proceeds to take a dump in the sink.
there is a hotel above the skydome/rogers centre and some of the rooms overlook the field. in the first year or two after it opened, one couple was openly going at it against the window for 50,000 fans to see (or at least 10,000 fans + whoever had binoculars)

What really mattered that day was what happened at halftime.
but this is more funny. I went to the Giants/Jets pre-season game in 2005 with my best friend. We had front row seats behind one of the endzones. Anyway, before the game, the Giants and Jets were doing their pre-game warmups. Both teams finish, and both teams wind up walking back into the tunnel together BS'ing with eachother. So, you have a mish-mosh of Giants and Jets players walking next to eachother as they exit the field and into the tunnel.
Well, my friend has a camera with hhim and he's trying to take pictures of Giants players as he's a Giants fan and decked out in a Giants jersey (believe he was wearing a Strahan jersey). Anyway, Laverneus Coles is in my friends' way of taking a pic of some Giants players that he wants to get in his pic and he makes a hand gesture to Coles (who's like 10-15 yards away on the other side of the endzone) to move out of the way, not even thinking Coles was looking at my friend. Well, apparently he was, because right after my friend made the hand gesture to Coles to move out of the way, Coles flipped my friend the bird. It was pretty hilarious. All of the people sitting near us cracked up, too. It's a story we still bring up to this day, mostly during the pre-season time of the year, because it makes us think about this game. Great memory.
This isn't odd or funny, but, again with the same friend, I went to a Giants/Jets pre-season game with the Jets as the home team. Forget what year it was, but me and my friend were walking in one of the hall's at the stadium to either get something to eat or go to the bathroom and we saw former Mets GM Steve Phillips walking through the same hall as us, with his two kids. We both said hi and he said hi back and that was it. But thought that was pretty random.
At Giant Stadium during a Jet/Giantexhibition game Â
the whole row got arrested except me and my gf at the time.
These Jet fans were osifiedand out of control. I saved one's life as he was falling over backward and downward coming into the row. Had to grab him by the chest.
others have mentioned at Giants stadium, I was at a Jets game and during half time fans were leaning over watching others walk up the spirals and enticing female fans to show their tits by throwing money at them.
not surprisingly (or maybe surprisingly) many actually did. It was like Bourbon street.
with Jerry Jones as he was on his way, at the half, to tell Jason Garrett (OC at the time) to pull I believe it was Kitna (Could have been Johnson) for their 3rd string Qb. This was when Tony Romo broke his pinky.
I got onto the Elevator and he had a few Dallas fans around him and he was just telling them, "I'm gonna go fix this boys"
Not odd, but this is a great story. Last Christmas Eve my daughter, a Steelers/Giants fan was at the Giants game in Arizona wearing her Brandon Jacobs jersey and a Steelers scarf. Already pissed off about the "cheating Patriots" because of the bad call against the Steelers the week before, she received a text from a friend about the Pats getting another call against Buffalo. She was pissed, had had a few beers and decided it would be a good idea to get the crowd chanting, "FUCK TOM BRADY"! It worked and she ended up being escorted out by security.
Besides scattering ashes on field after Superbowl win ? Â
Lightning delay at USC vs Syracuse in Giants Stadium, it started to run long and my 7 year old was hitting the wall. Well along comes some rouge members of the USC band. They start playing the Budweiser theme and all these drunk guys start chanting lets get drunk. This huge party breaks out with everyone chugging $10 beers. That's still the part of that game my son remembers.
I went to a New York City Football Club (MLS) match a couple years ago at Yankee Stadium against LA Galaxy.
During warm-ups, a pigeon was on the field, unfazed by the players kicking back and forth. A couple of the LA Galaxy players noticed it and started targeting it, getting closer and closer until they eventually full on pegged it and killed it. The crowd immediately started booing and yelling at them as they tried to get the bird off the field.
from 2007. My buddy (who is a Jets fan) got a ticket to the Giants-49ers game in the front row behind the 49ers bench. He was hammered and him and his friend from school were ripping Trent Dilfer. Just destroying him. Dilfer got so mad he slammed his clip board to the ground.
I remember thinking it was hilarious on TV when watching the game that Dilfer did that only to find out later that it was because my friend was ripping him the whole game.
At a baseball game I watched a woman wipe her baby’s nose with her bare hand. Now, most parents have had to do that. It’s fine. Wipe it on your pants or something. Nope...not this woman. She licked her hand clean. Probably the grossest thing I’ve ever seen.
Thank you all for your great comments. As a part time job I work at a venue in NY and at the end of the night while we are getting ready to go home we talk about our night and those some of these things that go on make you go hmmm
Years ago my father was given tickets to a Cardinals Redskins Â
game at FedEx Field. At the end of the 1st quarter I got up to get myself and my dad a beer. I walked into the concourse from our section and immediately found a female beer vendor (not hot at all) who was about to walk into our section. At first I was thinking that this was great, that I didn't have to go far or wait in a line and could get back to my seat pretty quickly. I asked her for two beers (these were in cans not bottles); she proceeded to pop the tabs using her teeth, while putting her mouth around the can. I told her never mind, I'll get my beers from somewhere else. I quickly walked down to one of the concession stands not too far down and bought two drafts, that weren't opened with somebody's mouth.
Before show, crowd noise raising, fingers pointing - there's a dude in a mezz section, behind the stage where no one is sitting - he's FUCKING HANGING by one hand!
People run down the aisle, grab his arm... get the other hand and pull him up.
He walks up a few rows and takes a seat, head in hands. Helpers leave him.
Suddenly, this chick runs down the aisle and starts yelling at him, arms waving, then she slaps him!
Entire stadium is now watching, crowd reacting to all of this.
Dude stands up, pushes her aside, runs down the aisle and does a fucking Peter Pan off the Mezzanine.
When he hit the row of seats below, feet first, the entire rack of 4-5 seats snapped forward off their bolts.
He actually got up and ran a few steps before collapsing. Stadium security, with their usual speed, showed up several minutes later, took him out - alive - on a stretcher.
Put a damper on things, for a bit.
Some killer skunk and 20th row in front of John Entwistles massive bass rig cured any negative vibes quickly though. Great show, even with the traumatic memory.
I wasn't there, but someone was actually killed by a flying lawnmower, converted to R/C - this was back in the 70's during halftime of a Jet game, if I recall correctly.

Well, now I have to ask what the hell you were doing at a Phish concert...
This was back in the late 90's at MSG and they were out in the open, not hiding in some closet. Odds are she was quite hairy though.
I was very confused why they would go to this game if they weren't fans of either team and why they would celebrate like that surrounded by Giants and Cardinals fans.
I also yelled out a well timed "SUCK!" at the end of their chant, which led to them immediately yelling "WHO SAID THAT" as my family burst into laughter.

Hahah, probably very, very good odds.
Cocaine is one hell of a drug!

Go on... What did you see her do...
Aren't there multiple videos of this at Bills games?
You already told us about the case race.
Attended Bonnaroo in the early 2000s and watched a random guy drop a deuce using a cars tire as his backboard.
Personally hotboxed a family bathroom with my buddies for the whole Chargers/Jets playoff game in SD years ago

Ironically, one of NYCFC's team nicknames is the Pigeons. They ended up winning that game, and paid tribute to the bird this season when LA Galaxy came back and beat them again. So, don't fuck with pigeons.
