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.

I don't know about Lincoln Field, but I've been to four or five games at the vet. I always wore my Skins stuff. Just don't get overly aggressive with anyone unless your with a group and near security. Ignore all the drunks (there are alot of them). They are the worst, and the crowd loves to egg them on.

You can expect to be called just about every name in the book. And plan on wearing beer and anything else that they sell there.

At one game when Randal Cunningham received a late hit the crowd turned on a group of us Skin's fans as if we gave him the late hit. It was ugly for awhile.

Might of had something to do with a couple of the guys in our group throwing pork chops on the field before the game started. ( It was the game right after Buddy Ryan was reported to have chocked on a pork chop.)

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........

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

It's not English soccer.

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.

Nope, that's not him. I wish he was still doing the games - we used to hear all sorts of "inside info" when he was. Stories he told us about Sam Huff were hilarious.

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

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.

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-28-2005, 02:32 PM

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.

Schneed10 · 09-28-2005, 02:33 PM

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.
