Those at the game yesterday.

My former coworker who lives in Englewood got last minute tickets to the game. He’s not a Giants fan, but said he was surprised how many Minnesota fans were there for a Week 1 home opener. Can anyone back this up?

He also stayed until the end and said Giants fans were ghosts by the start of the 4th quarter.

opponent's fans yesterday. that will change as the year goes on. Expect the Dallas game in a few weeks to be the high water mark for opposing fans in attendance.

mostly been bad for a long time, it wasn't that different than many other recent games.
There were a lot of Viking fans

Initially, it was hard to distinguish the Viking fans.
They were understated and not in full regalia.

But it was surprising to hear them. They were loud and supported their team.

They did that stupid-ass overhead clap a whole bunch of times.

Biggest cheer of the day from the crowd was for Eli Manning at halftime.

Continues, selling your tickets to opposing teams fans sends a clear message to Mara/Tisch. You can also recoup significant $. It's a business.
