Dumping on Eagles fans 2.0: The Vet had a jail set up

MeanBunny : 1/27/2023 12:13 pm
SFGate ran this article and it's pretty funny. Eagles fans were so terrible that Philly just set up a judge and jail in the basement. The good old days.
One guy actually fired a flare gun at the other side of the stadium. What could go wrong!?
Good luck Brock Purdy!

'Instant justice': After a violent 49ers game, the Eagles opened a stadium jail - ( New Window )
This line made me laugh.

"A typical sampling of problems included fans smuggling alcohol into the stadium, people getting in fights with beer sellers and, oddly, people trying to sell towels in the restrooms."
I think they played the Giants the following week - because I remember

being at the Vet amid all the commotion about the new jail.
We beat Ty Detmer's ass badly that day (i.e. the good old days), and some Eagle fan comes up to me and says, "You wanna go outside? There's no jail out there." 😏
Love to laugh at Philly

But this article from 2016 says more are arrested at MetLife than any other stadium.

Vs giants. I can honestly say after watching sports all over North America I have never seen anything like eagles fans. Their tailgate looked like an actual landfill… garbage piled up 5-6 feet high in huge areas of the lot. Some people were so completely trashed they were carrying each other into the stands like a battlefield. No security, we all just walked in. Once inside it was absolutely hilarious how creative the insults were towards me and other Giants fans. Most of the time we just laughed and wished them luck. Except once when we had to tell the row behind us that if they made physical contact with us again it would not be pleasant. I’m glad they settled down after that. While leaving the game a man fell off the curb and cut his head. He was too intoxicated to stand, and I shit you not, other “brothers” in their shit green jerseys stepped over and around him trying to leave the area. A few of us took a knee with him until we could get him up and over to where his people were waiting.

I wanted to experience a game in Philly, really take in the atmosphere. I can now say I’ve successfully accomplished that, and have no need to return. Ever. :)

You know, you keep looking the other way when these criminals, and yes, they ARE criminals in my mind, are blatantly selling towels in the restrooms, and the final result will be nothing other than anarchy!!
Is it true the water fountains at the Linc...

Ever listen to that character 'Snacks' on Talkin' Giants??? Proud to be regularly thrown out.

Hard to figure out which needle on his dashboard is pegged harder, by the way; 'Illiteracy' or 'Ignorance'.
