Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I plan on going to Philly to watch the Cowboys play the fleagles on the Monday nighter in November. I have seen posts on Cowboys message boards that warn fans not to wear any team colors other than the beagle puke green. When the Skins play in Filthy, do you hide your colors?? Go in a large group?? Is it really that bad?

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Why do we care what happens to a cowgirl fan. lol Me personally even though I have never been there I would wear my colors proudly. Expect to get harrassed before, during and maybe after the game (if you loose). It would not be like they will kill you wearing a different color. I just hope you have thick skin so to say. Good luck and have fun.

Philly is the only place that Chief Z won't go. He got beat up there several years back and has vowed to not go back. That's the only game he misses every year.

The fans are idiots and they're violent. I'll never go there, but uhhhh, yeah you should go.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I went to a Redskins-Eagles playoff game at the Vet years ago, wearing a Skins hat and shirt. The fans were pretty aggressive toward me, yelling and throwing ideballs at me until the Eagles started to lose. Then they turned their hatred toward Buddy Ryan (turned out to be his last game there).

I'd remain low key, and when the Eagles fans turn against their team, join in on the fun.

And please, do not come to Fedex Field on December 18.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I think you should suit up in all your Dallas stuff and go raise hell with all the Phl fans. When you get home from the Hospital, oh I mean game let us know how things went.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

as been said...watch your back. These are the same people that cheered when Michael Irvin ended his career.

I've heard first hand horror stories of guys ending up bruised, beaten, one in the hospital because they wore the other teams colors.

In fact, stay out of the extremes in the upper deck...those who used to sit in the 700s at the Vet. Those are the biggest offenders...

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

My brother used my season tickets to take his nine yr old son to the "Tear Gas Bowl" at Fedex field.

Enough said.

Anytime you have to use tear gas, it shows the kind of fans you are dealing with.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I wouldn't go, but I have heard it has gotten better there. They installed a bunch of cameras and even put a mini court in the basment to dole out punishments. It can't be as bad as going to a Raiders home game. Ever seen that video of the Chargers fan getting stabbed? I mean I love my team but I think attempted murder is a bit far. Although since it was a Chargers fan it might be considered a mercy killing.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Hell no it's not safe in anyway..... Don't wear any cowboys stuff... and hell dont even wear blue.... Don't cheer in anyway.... I know you think i'm kidding but this is serious biz... They will throw bottles hit you gang swarms you there... these fans are low life criminals.... its true that they have a jail a judge holding cells and they can arraign them right there(excuse my spelling) It's there cause they need it... I don't even wanna see a dallas fan be killed... It's so bad that when the cowboys play the skins i root for dallas .....anyone but those low life eagles fans... I live in pa.... I have seen many non fans hospitalized at an eagles game... a few years ago they almost killed that old 70 year old skins mascot.... you know the indian..he was critcal.... good luck

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

it's really sad but true. i don't think it would be advisable.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Never take off your color's, my advise to you is bring a tiny mirror so you can see who's throwing things at you from behind, once you locate their ring leader go on the offensive and stomp him into a little green speck, this will send a message to the rest of them to back off, they won't be expecting you to go into attack mode, by the time they get over the shock of being attacked and start thinking about retaliation, you'll be home in bed sleeping!


You may want to fill a pillow case with all those rings and beat someone over the head with them, it's not like they have rings to fill a pillow case with to fight back!

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

i heard that eagles fans piss onto opponents fans from above them. such a trashy place, perfect for trashy people

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

don't be a hero dude........trust me it's not worth it.

Just wear your colors under your jacket, keep quite no matter what happens. no cheering for the skins at least out loud.

Trust me I've been in a couple of fights with Philly fan down here at fedex...... They are a 100 times as bad at the linc............ All these guys telling you to wear your colors but don't do it.

That would be the "Body Bag Bowl II" in 1990? I wore my bugandy and gold and was tackled by an Eagles fan at halftime. His friend did pull him and away and apologized. I was booed and yelled at everywhere I walked. But once we won the game that Philly was supposed to kill us, everyone was pretty subdued and just stunned. They did turn on their own team and were not even concerned about us afterwords. I remember this woman signing "Hail to the Redskins" outside after the game and thought she was nuts. I went to my car asap and celebrated my win there.

I was at a game around 82 or 83 and I saw Chief get thrown down the stairs.

I have not been to the Linc yet, but am consdering going there for the season finale against the Skins.

While the Eagle's fans show their displeasure for Skins fans and I can only imagine their displeasure for Cowboy fans is off the charts.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I live about an hour from philly and go to the skins game in Philly every year. Besides being called an a**hole every 2 minutes it hasn't been too bad. I went to a game in 2000 (when Irving Fryar passed out on our sidelines) and the Skins kicked a late field goal to win it. I guess I cheered a little to loud that day because some dude threw a cup of beer at me and had a few choice words for me. Thats the worst thats ever happened to me at a Philly game. There is security everywhere and they don't let it get to out of hand. If Dallas wins I wouldn't get to loud in the parking lot though........

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

That's pretty sad. I can understand giving opposing fans verbal abuse (not the ladies) but actual physical violence?

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

My brother-in-law used to be the game statistician with the radio broadcast team (Sonny, Sam and Frank). He travelled all over the country with the team for about 3 years. He said, without a doubt, that the Philly fans were the worst, BY FAR.

He said he would never sit in the stands to watch the Skins while there- too dangerous.

I can't believe that fans in Washington are classless as the Philly fans apparently are. You guys might hate Dallas but are you going to try and jump me in stands cause I cheer for Dallas?[

No, we just don't want your ugly blue and white crap in our hallowed ground is all.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

No, we just don't want any other fans in the stadium. It gets irritating when the fairweather fans that we do indeed have here, sell their tickets online to opposing fans. I went to the Steelers preseason game and I would say it was about 60-40 with Skins fans barely dominating the attendance.

I say to YOU to not attend the game, just as I say to the Skins fans who are selling their tickets to either use 'em or lose 'em and sell them to someone who would appreciate them.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Don't go to the Linc wearing opposing team's colors. Don't cheer for the Skins. I live here in the Philly area, and it's not a joke. You tend to read about it on a message board and think nah it can't possibly be that bad. It is.

There's a reason that they put a jail and a judge on site at the Vet. It's easily the drunkest crowd in the NFL. They all get bombed, and at that point they just don't give a flying F about anything. I was at a pre-season Eagles-Steelers game last year, and no lie I saw 5 fights in the stands.

If you go, just wear normal clothes and don't cheer. Just blend in. That said, it's probably more fun to just watch on TV so you can actually cheer for your squad.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I guess I was lucky...I went to a Skins - Eagles game two years ago at the Link and didnt get harrassed too badly...then again perhaps it was the tight redskins shirt showing off my cleavage that saved my ass :) I did hear lots of trash talk, saw a bunch of fights but nothing directed towards me. Just a little FYI tho...keep your trap shut! As much as I hate Dallas its not even close to how much I detest the Eagles and their fans.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Yeah, seriously the Eagles fans have started making them my most hated team.

They are fickle as shit and complete assholes. The thing is, they're proud of it.

Yes, one of the things they're proudest of is the fact that fans of other teams are afraid to come to the Linc. So we probably shouldn't be discussing this on message boards because when Eagle fans reads it all they'll do is smile to themselves and puff out their chests.

Then again, a lot of these Eagle fans don't even know what a computer is, so we're probably safe.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

They're proud that their stadium is frequented by hooligans.

That's like being proud that your gang beat up another gang when they come onto rival turf.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I don't even care if they're reading it, and I'm going to call them out a little bit, as well as anyone, ANYWHERE who jumps someone.

Jumping people = pussy

Don't think that you're a bad ass because ten drunken people can jump on one person who probably wasn't looking for a fight in the first place.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

From what I heard, its not really the best place for an opposing guy to watch a football game. I think its absolutley ludacris too, and anyone who actually attacks people or beats people up for like a different football team, can pretty much go to hell. I dont care if its in FedEx, Linclon Finacial, the Black Hole, anywhere, its so bush league. But with that being said, spend the extra money and just go to DC that way you dont have to worry about it.

I second that. Also I'd like to nominate 'frontin' someone when they have a pack of homies with 'their back' is about as gay (South Park kind) as it gets.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I went to the Eagles game many years ago on a bus when the Chief was beaten up pretty badly and I will never go again. They tried to turn our bus over in the parking lot. I even saw a female Skins fan get cracked on the head with a beer bottle.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Also, don't leave your car with texas plates there. (or virginia.) I saw philly play dallas there at the vet, and it was the only time I ever did not root against the eagles!

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

In fact I went to law school in philly and i'd of felt safer in Beruit. Had to watch games on satelite in my basement without getting too loud. I was in a bar with a buddy from NY (giants fan) when the eagles lost to the rams in a championship game. He was loudly cheering for the Rams and when they won people started throwing stuff at us. Someone stepped up and my buddy said something he should not have and people from the crowd rained blows on him. I got between the two, told the folks he was sorry and that I would take him home. There was a pause, then someone sucker punched me (i had my hands full with these two guys) then punched and kicked me while I put my head down and pushed to the door. Philly is a 3rd world city and it's people know it.

I agree with you on that one. As much as I hate Washington those E-gal fans are the worst.

These stories are nuts. Ive always had a hate for silly philly before I moved to VA and had to watch the foreskins on tv all the time(thats why I hate washington so much).

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

If there's one thing Skins and Cowboys fans can unite on, it's a hate of the Eagles and everything that stands for them.

Honestly, there's a lot of Cowboys fans around where I live, most are civil, MANY are misguided. There's a few Philly fans here too. Give me a Cowboy fan any day.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

Skins fans don't beat on people, we just buy stuff.

[QUOTE=firstdown]He is a Dallas fan. LOL[/QUOTE]

Hey donkey I'm no Cowboy fan........ stop hating

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

I live in New Jersey 10 minutes outside of Philly, I have gone to games and rooted for my Skins and I have worn my team colors, but to Eagles fans, Cowboys fans are the worse, I can say you won't be alone in wearing your team's colors, but just one word of advice.... Keep your mouth shut, unless you do have a group.

Re: Safe to watch a game in Philly?
 

i have said it before, I hate the cowboys, but i hate philly fans, I can talk to dallas fans but eagle fans- you can't talk to those fools, That damn thread is still on top on that stupid iggle site, i post every couple days....[url="http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=16088.760"]http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=16088.760[/url] The dallas fan might want to cheer for his team here and see what kind of abuse he gets.
I am the kind of person that is allittle stupid, if someone talks shit i rarely "back down" i usually tell some kind of joke or something to lighten the mood but some people are not capable of being talked to. I know that if I was at the game i would not be able to control myself and would go crazy and if someone told me to sit down i would just cheer louder. that is why i can't go to the linc

also some dallas fan thought we were threatning them by saying "please don't came to fedex in december", we weren't saying we were gonna beat you down, it was just saying there are alot of damn dallas fans there. we would like less that is it, this site one of the few that actually don't go crazy on rival fans. Even if a some of us members go crazy the mods always are keeping the peace at that eagle site the mods edge it on.

by the way, being a dallas fan you would be lucky to get out without sort of physical harm toward you
