mellaman101 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Luck is GREAT! Will be a stud in the NFL for many years to come. Colts got a jem with him.... Made me sick sitting there. All the upper bowl seats are free tickets for military and vets. Active duty must wear uniforms and that is all that were in the upper bowl area; vets and active duty. Most Vets were wearing Ravens, Steelers and Cowboys stuff. I dont know how many seats are in a section but Jacksonvill had a total of 18 sections totally tarped off and the place had to have about 20000 seats open. The fans are horrible. Everyone had the Florida State game on their phones and the tv's inside had the game on also. It is not a family friendly enviroment for anyone. Lots of hard liquor and power drinkers with fights all over the place. Worse than any other stadium I have ever been to. I sat there thinking to myself. My team may be gone from Buffalo in the next 10 years and these people have a team? HORRIBLE NFL experience. Hey L.A............. Jacksonville is for the taking and nobody will miss them.

mrags Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ya. I just posted something about the rediculous open seats there in another thread. It's a shame we even have the conversations we do after watching this game. Makes me ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yet it was considered another sellout. Those tarps have a great season ticket deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had many fans from other teams say that Buffalo was their worse road experience. Nine road games isn't very impressive by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposing fans that get harassed are generally loud mouth New Yorkers or Chowderheads. And that's a fact. As long as your not a loud mouth POS you will be fine in OP. of course, there's always the few that screw it up for everyone. But from what a few people have said now is that the fans in Jax are far from polite. 9 road games isn't that bad honestly. He's been to almost 1/3 of the NFL stadiums. I'd say about 30% gives a good barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Jax sounds pretty brutal.....but I have seen bottles tossed from Limos and taxis post game at the Ralph at Fins fans and fights for no reason as well.. you get a big crowd together with alcohol.....and someone's always gonna be the donkey. Jax seems like worst atmosphere for NFL game by far though. Edited November 9, 2012 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Bills/FIns game in OP about 5 years ago, there was a kid maybe 12-13 years old standing at the concession line wearing a Culpepper jersey when a group of Bills fans in the mid 20's or so circled him and chanted !@#$. I walked in between them and told them to take off. Of course they run their mouths as they walk away, this poor kid looked like he was going to cry. I told him they were just scumbags and dont worry about it. I was never more embarrassed to be a Bills fan than I was that day.

ALF Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 What do you think of Gabbert?" On April 28, 2011 Gabbert was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft with the 10th overall pick. Jacksonville traded up six spots with the Washington Redskins to select Gabbert.[ " Does Shanahan know qb's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly the beacon of deep thinkers. If they move a team to LA, there's no question it should be them. We would kill for their last 10 years and they still are a terrible fanbase. I think the Murlakey-Gabbert combo is the final death nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally at the Ralph unless your wearing an away jersey and being an @$$hole you are left alone. With the exception of being called out which is normal at any game if your the away fan. And the way you say your story makes it sound like grown adults were circling around a 12 year old and taking jabs at him from all sides like he was a helpless injured calf and Hyenas were all around just snipping at it one at a time. Lets be real, they were all prolly in the same line and these guys were prolly just talking **** in general. My biggest question with your story is where was the kids parents??? A 12 year old Thats wearing an away jersey at any sporting event should be watched by his parents no matter what stadium they are in. I blame their patents for being absolute idiots and wish that kid the best of luck in his life. He's going to need it because either his parents don't care or are just plain stupid.

The kid was standing in line at the concessions stand. And YEs, 20-30 year olds are grown men they circled around the kid and pointed and chanted AZZ Hole. If it was a grown man I would not have bothered to tell the story. Maybe the kids parents were using the bathroom and he was holding their place in line. Why are you trying to blame the parents, unless you are one of those fans who condones that behavior. This happened in a 30 second span as I was standing 5 feet away.

Let's face it, most kids that age who live in WNY aren't Bills fans-theve never seen a good product. No wonder everyone wants to leave this area.

This happened in a 30 second span as I was standing 5 feet away. As I said, you were there so you would know. But it honestly sounds like you embellished it and how it turned out. And yes, I do blame the kids parents. It's absolutely their fault. Children of that age shouldn't be on their own in a place of 70,000 people. No ifs, and, or buts about it. Parents these days are lazy and bad to say the least. Just give your kids 10 bucks and tell them to go get a drink in a packed stadium is stupid at best. Even if the kid was holding a spot in line. Anything even close to that is rediculous. I'm not a parent but you better believe that when I have kids and I take them to any sporting event, even at 13, I will be holding thier hands. Bad parenting, lazy parenting will ruin this country. It already is. FWIW, when I was in my early 20s, I was a bit more loud and obnoxious at the games. But I would never pick on a little kid. I sure wouldn't watch my mouth. Your at a sporting event for Christs sake. But I would never pick on a kid like that. In fact, nobody in our section would have. And I'm in the tunnel side end zone which is as rowdy as it gets. Sure if your an adult, wearing a Pats, or Phins, or Jets jersey and your talking a bunch of crap like your in your own living room, talking crap to home team fans, then you deserve to be picked on. Realize your surroundings. Edited November 9, 2012 by mrags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I live in South FLA and they arent much better. I have never seen that directed toward a kid. I have had my fair share of arguments with jagoffs and I have been the jagoff ...... it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
