NFL Shootings

I'm really not buying the difference between pro and college. There are morons in every walk of life.

I assure you. There is.

Agree with your statement about morons though.


It very well may come down to the fact that students do have something to lose (tickets and possibly expelled) by being a jackass at games.

But I don't think it really has to do with education level.

ok if you say so.

Also no drinking allowed inside the stadium may play a role.

Tho only problem I have ever seen at Lions games were fights due to alcohol. I think the NFL would be wise in actually considering dropping the damn beer companies and banning alcohol. A damn football or baseball game should be kid friendly always. I mean seriously, do you want half the adults in the crowd driving back home drunk?

There are certain hard core folks that show up to a sporting or concert event already drunk or stoned. Plus it is hard to control the tail gate parties in the parking lots before and after a game.
When you have 80,000 to 100,000 people walking through the turnstiles quickly and only a few hundred employees, it is difficult to determine if all the fans have had too much to drink, unless they are falling down wasted.

ok if you say so.

Well, you tell me. You go to both pro and college games. As I'm sure many people do. Does your education level drop at a pro game?

No but the folks around me do.

Anyone know of any research on the issue of violence at pro events vs college? These arguments are a little too subjective to mean much of anything IMO.

If you had tickets to two games and you want to give them to me but I had to take my 3 year old son and my choices were:

FSU @ MD

or

PHL @ WAS

I am taking the MD game hands down.

Have you been to many college games and Pro games? It is pretty much night and day.

My BIL has season tickets to PSU and I took him to a Redskins game two years ago he was floored how different it was and said he never go back to a pro game.

Been to plenty, I've seen rowdy crowds at college or minor league events, and tame crowds at pro events. Hell I've even seen big differences between different concert events, one of the most well behaved crowds I've ever seen was at a Tool show, and I've seen horribly behaved crowds at a Dave Matthews show, go figure.

According to our qualitative research 31% of people who say they are avid NFL fans have 4 or more years or college (and above) education. For college, it's 34%.
