The NFL...Just A Beer Delivery Vehicle?

That's fine. I get annoyed when I am at MSG for Rangers-Isles or Rangers-Flyers, and I am getting into it with some opposing fans and some a$$hole says, "Come on guys, my 5-year old daughter doesnt need to hear that." 1) 5 year olds do not belong there, 2) don't sit in the 400's.

I am assuming that several of these most recent posts are written by people who are on the younger end of the spectrum.
If your at a public venue, then you have a social duty and legal responsibility to not get "drunk in public" and show your ass. You have to be responsible in all of your actions. Good natured fun between fans of opposing team is expected... getting drunk and showing your education level is not.

So, if we use your point of people sitting in the cheap seats (let's ignore which team or sporting event), then you have more of a license to be an idiot? Most young families can only afford the cheaper seats. So, your saying families with less money have to be subjected to idiots if they go to a game, but a family with more money doesn't?

I have had tickets in Section 402 for about 7 years now.

I have taken my daughter every single year.

No problems to report, really.

I was at the Bears game, and can tell you I remember more drunk females at that game than I have ever seen.

But night games are different than day games, and I wouldn't take my daughter because, hold onto your hats, it was a SCHOOL night.

We sat in front of some bear fans, and really had a terrific time with them. Very firnedly, polite, complimenting each other when someone would make a good play.

As to Cheap seats, it cost a minimum of about $150 for two people to walk into the game, so there are no cheap seats.

If you think paying for your ticket gives you the right to be boorish, wait til you pay your bailbondsman and your lawyer.

Man, I remember being like 8 years old at a Caps Flyers game and you wanna talk rowdy. Dude`s fightin outside before the game, during the game, and after the game. It was the coolest thing ever. If you go to a sporting event that includes hard hitting and trash talk on the feild, you should expect it in the stands. You want pretty, non contact, respectful action, go to a nats cubs game, nobody will be there to ruin the game for this guy or his son.
