I think it has to do with the fact that many of the people that attend college games are either current students or alumni of that school. They are invested in those teams and respect the institution enough not to be a jackass. Also, a good deal of families are out there on game day as well. Seems there are more trailer trash rejects at the pro games than a college game. Guess it's because they would have had to go to college in the first place to even want to support college athletics.

There are a few stadiums I'm rather hesitant to go to, just because of the type of people there... Oakland Raiders games (there've been at least a handful of stabbing incidents there), M&T Stadium.. because... well, it's Baltimore. I've been invited to a few Skins v. Eagles game and I know how stupid Philly fans get to the point of I won't even walk around in Philly with my Skins jersey on. You'd think as a female, people wouldn't get AS bent out of shape about it and give me so much hell. But I don't even risk it. It seems kind over the top, but after reading that incident last year about a Philly's fan barfing on some guy's kid, I figure better safe than sorry.

I have been to M&T many many times and with my Skins gear on, best stadium experience i have ever had. no one gave me trouble. I feel safer there then FedEx.

My first thought was "Who ever feels the need to even TAKE a gun to a game, should just stay home".

I wonder what ever happend to this:

Green Bay police not sure if guns will be allowed at Lambeau | ProFootballTalk

[tc2deuce]

So this is the same game that also had this fight break out.

49ers vs Raiders 8/20/11 FIGHT 49er fans fight with Raider fans - YouTube

People are such ass holes and I wonder if this fight is related to the shooting.

What idiots. Yeah. Where were the police/security in all this? That went on for a good bit.

hahaha...one of the comments under that video.

Wow some one actually spend money on a A.Smith jersey lol

From that same game in SF.




No cops around for the looooongest time. Yeah, I'll take college game day any day of the week over pro.

Found

another

video of fan fighting. A damn shame.

But on a serious note, I completely agree with everyone that would rather attend a college football game than a NFL game. I think the NCAA has a lot of things that need fixing, but the fan experience on game days isn't one of them. I'd love for alcohol to be banned at NFL games, but we all know that'd never happen.

It's like people say, pro football fans = uneducated, boorish fans that have it ingrained in their heads that going on an alcohol bender is part of the gameday experience. College football fans = smarter, because obviously they attend college or are fans of a CF team through family, and clearly respect the traditions of the college game.

And banning alcohol at games was a smart thing to do because the NCAA knows that it wouldn't impact ticket sales because major universities have enough of a diehard following that they'd go to the games anyways. Imagine how much ticket sales would suffer if the NFL banned alcohol. You'd see a large amount of that casual beer swilling audience disappear, and you'd also lose large amounts of revenue that selling beers provides. A lose-lose situation for the owners.

Report: 49ers, Raiders will no longer meet in preseason | ProFootballTalk

Gee you think

San Francisco 49ers to ban some tailgating, want no 2012 game vs. Oakland Raiders - ESPN

Man where the hell is the security at? Not a peep from the Commish? No surprise

[JPPT1974]

Just because I am a big NFL fan. Doesn't mean I would want to hurt or kill a person over my team. How dumb can these people get? Hopefully they will bring the person or people of interest to justice. Really feel bad for the people who got shot and their families.

He wont say jack because of revenue dollars.

Not sure I really buy the college crowds are more educated argument either. Has anyone ever tailgated at a college game?? Tons of drinking going on.
