I wasn't at this game but have been at games in the past in extreme heat. I understand not wanting to let people bring in drinks but would it really break Snyder to allow people to bring in coolers and have them filled w/ tap water and ice for a buck? No, he wouldn't make much on it but it would be nice to see a full stadium and not just a full parking lot.
Would that count as a smackdown on Snyder?

I was at the game yesterday and I can understand some fans not showing up. It was absolutely brutal out there like Gmanc said and at one point in the second quarter when the fans were being extremely loud while we were on defense my headache increased and I felt a huge wave of dizziness and for like a second my eyesight was gone and I had no clue what was happening, then when it went quiet I was able to regain focus again (go figure, I drank like one bottle of water before that), but after that I shelled out about 30 bucks worth for bottled water and soda. I used two bottles of water just to pour on my head cuz I was sweating like a mofo. I had no clue it was gonna be that hot, I mean I wore shorts and I had on a white t-shirt underneath my authentic Cooley jersey in white but I was still extremely hot, I got sunburned up and down my arms/hands too.

Maybe should have stayed home and used the money for car repairs. Who knows???

What's up with hearing Deuuuuuuuce when McCallister gets the ball? Maybe people were booing the handoff (I doubt it) but that's inexcusable. How many N.O. fans were there?

That seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to say, since Mooby had said his neighbor had been nice enough to give him two tickets to this game for free.

I walked a lot around the stadium before the game started and the ratio of Skins/Saints fans wasn't that great. I'd say there were somewhere between 500-1000 Saints fans there and the rest were Skins fans (except for one guy in my section who was wearing a Pats jersey) so we really outnumbered them.

Maybe when my neighbor gives me two free tickets and my car gets fixed (it needed a new distributor cap and new spark plugs) and I get the first chance to go to a Skins game in two years (my last game was the Minny opener in '06) I would take that in a heartbeat, heat or no heat.
Maybe if you had that opportunity you probably would've taken it too, eh?
EDIT: Thanks SS.

I was reffering to the thirty bucks in water. Just giving him a hard time, keep your panties on.
Apologize to all if I offended.

You're good. And even though I didn't want to pay that much for water, I preferred staying cool to suffering heat stroke or something worse. I got paid on Friday so I was in good financial shape too, after I got my bills taken care of.
