Sat in the Wrigley bleacher section last summer for a July 3rd game against the Nationals. It's a day game on a Sunday the day before the 4th of July holiday and it's about 110 degrees in the direct sun in the bleachers so I figure the crowd is going to be flat nasty once the beers start flowing. To top it off, my wife and I are in full Nats gear.
The Nats ended up winning after a 12 inning marathon, and all I heard the entire game was a couple of under the breath comments about "those damn nats fans." No one even sent a harsh word directly our way...I was completely amazed. Cubbies fans were tame. I've seen worse at minor league hockey games.
The most rabid intimidation I have ever seen is at college basketball games...paricularly interconference ACC or SEC games. Kentucky fans are certifiably insane. I went to an Arkansas at Kentucky game with my friend who went to UA once. I thought the bus we were on was going to get tipped over and burned...that is how nutz they are out there over UK B-ball. Same at the last Duke v Maryland game I was at...there is some fanatacizm on display there.
