Admin Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Makes the Marlins fans look like asses. That's my opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 That is not cool... I live outside of Philly and I get that bullsh*t treatment when I go to the Vet (and probably now the new stadium...) A fan has a right to root for any team they want...Home fans do not have the right to harass a visiting fan...These ppl paid money (to the Marlins) to see this game and they deserved better treatment regardless of who they root for... I took my dad to a Marlins /Phillies game for Father's Day at the Vet once and 2 drunks tried to pick a fight with me right in front of my dad....That is being a bad fan... Also, I DJ'ed the other week and a bar fight broke out between 2 women..one broke a beer mug and slashed a huge chunk out of the other woman's throat..The victim almost bleed to death...Do not need to see that kinda stuff at the Pro...period...

SlapHands69 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Look what happend at the Dodger-Giant game. The fans took it to the next level and it costed someone their life.

Marlins2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I missed that one but during the last Phillies visit to PPS it got really ugly in right field stands. I was with my nine year old and I was embarrassed he had to see such atrocious behavior. This is not the way you build a fan base or make the experience a pleasant one for families or fans.

Guest Juanky Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I was in the Fish Tank when it all went down, and I guess I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. On the one hand, the Phillies fans started it. They should have known better. You don't cause problems where alcohol and latin tempers have mixed. But by no means do I condone what happened. She threw first, then the guy who got hit can throw back. Not the entire section. And the "Phillies Suck" chants are fine, I actually helped start one, but we do want to have a little bit of class. Theres a line between having fun and being a complete and total a**hole and disrespectful to others despite whatever team they may root for. This is not the standard we want to set. (Though it was fun singing the goodbye song when the Phils fans got kicked out :thumbup ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnylons Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Visiting fans should be on best behavior - they are behind enemy lines. I dont feel sorry for a fan who is being ridiculous and loud while his team is up. Visiting fans should use common sense. I dont have a problem with a visiting fan rooting for his team, but they better recognize whose turf they are on. And it would be wise to shut their mouths after the game if by some chance they won. I was at the Knicks/Heat game a couple of years ago - Game 5 when Houston hit the prayer shot and won. Knicks fans were so obnoxious, some of them got their a$$es whooped for it. Talkin smack...has a price too. It doesnt matter what the cost of the ticket was or who got the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 With Phillies fans in the ballpark, the class of any team's fans is cut in half. They have the worst-mannered fans in baseball. At least the Mets fans are funny, "Moo Vaughn coming to bat, beware of earthquakes." Braves fans are arrogant, but otherwise quiet. Expos fans, well, aren't seen. Phillies fans are annoying and are frequently escorted by Metro-Dade Police when they get rowdy at the games I've been to. The ushers in the sections I have sat in don't take it and call up MDPD.

It is not a stereotype, it is just from personal experiences. A lot of people from the northeast part of this country are rude. For example, I was watching a Yankee game the other day through a ESPN broadcast, when a foul ball from the opposing team landed in the first row. Aaron Boone had a shot at catching the ball but a Yankee fan accidentally deflected the ball away. Seconds later after this happened other Yankee fans started booing the guy and even threw hot dog wrappers at the guy for trying to catch a foul ball in foul territory.

Guest marlins02 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 thats honestly one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Youre going to go to pay money to watch a baseball, not just because you love your team but because its fun and your going to try to pick a fight with someone? which if you do than you'll get kicked out and possibly arrested (which means more spent money and other troubles). thats idiotic and phils fan, you're clearly very different from all those in here trying to sound tough on an internet message board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Written View of The Vet's Jail. Good Riddance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Thom Loverro THE WASHINGTON TIMES December 12, 2002 They call it the Nest of Death It is Section 700 at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, a haven for rabid Eagles fans. It is a place with a Dawg Pound-caliber reputation for toughness that can match any other in the NFL. One could argue that the Vet is one huge nest of death, a place where civilization has died and been replaced by green-and-silver-shaded anarchy. "We like to put the fear of God in most teams and the fans that come into the stadium," said Bill Deery, a season ticket holder who sits in Section 700. Deery also likes to spread that fear via the Internet. He operates a Web site called nestofdeath.com that is devoted to all things Eagles: news, forums, stats, cheerleaders, face painters, celebrities, records and "old school" players ? plus the sale of Nest of Death T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops and hats. The Eagles are on the verge of leaving the nest, though. The stadium, loved by fans and cursed by opponents, is in its final days. The Eagles' game Sunday against the Washington Redskins is the final regular-season contest at the Vet. A more modern facility, Lincoln Financial Field, is scheduled to open next year. Opposing players will shed few tears for the passing of the Vet, the place where Philadelphia fans earned their reputation as some of the toughest in sports. Consider: ?In 1999, fans jeered Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin as he lay on the field for 20 minutes, suffering from a neck injury that ended his career. ?That same year, fans threw D batteries at St. Louis Cardinals outfielder J.D. Drew, who held out for a year after the Phillies drafted him and eventually signed with the Cards instead. ?Matthew Scott, the only person in the United States to have received a hand transplant, was asked by the Phillies to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the team's home opener in 1999. The pitch, from his transplanted hand, dribbled over the plate. The fans booed. ?Eagles fans famously blasted Santa Claus with a shower of snowballs at halftime of a game as St. Nick circled helplessly around the field before stadium officials rescued him. The place was considered so rough that the city opened up a jail ? complete with a court and a judge ? inside the stadium after a particularly nasty bout of drunkenness and fighting at a Monday night game between the Eagles and 49ers in 1997. And the nightmares weren't limited to the stands. The artificial playing surface for years had a notorious reputation as a career killer for NFL players, routinely wrecking knees and ankles. It finally was replaced, but the new surface was declared so bad that a preseason game between the Eagles and Baltimore Ravens was called off last year. Lincoln Field, at least, will have grass. The Redskins, fierce NFC East rival of the Eagles, have had ugly moments at Veterans Stadium ? and so have their fans. The Redskins mascot and the Hogettes once were attacked in the stands. For players, one particular nightmare stands out: the Body Bag Game. In a brutally physical, injury-filled Monday night contest in 1990, the battered, beaten and bruised Redskins were forced to finish the game with running back Brian Mitchell at quarterback. Former Redskins kicker Mark Moseley, who had the first kickoff ever at the stadium while he was playing for the Eagles, didn't look forward to playing there. "It was always a tough place to play," he said. "The crowd was always rowdy and nasty, some very rough people. One time I got hit in the head with a bottle. It was a good thing I had my helmet on." Of course, Eagles fans will tell you they are portrayed unfairly. "The media kills us," Deery said. "We get a bad rap, but we go with it and play into people's fears." Not that those fears are unwarranted. "One time during a Redskins game, there was some guy wearing a [John]Riggins jersey and a pigskin mask," Deery said. "The Redskins were beating the Eagles bad, and this guy would just not sit down and shut up. The next thing you knew, four Eagles fans were giving the guy an early exit." Still, according to Brian Lyons, a season-ticket holder for 14 seasons who got his start in the 700 level ? "a good place to get your baptism at the Vet" ? Redskins fans often hold their own. "The craziest games were always against the Redskins," he said. "I have to give them credit ? they would show up wearing their colors. But it was always crazy." That craziness often added up to double-digit arrests at games for fighting, urinating in public, public drunkenness and all sorts of other infractions ? such as reporting. During a Monday night game in October this season, reporters one from the Atlantic City (N.J.) Press and KYW radio in Philadelphia were removed from Section 700, where they were interviewing fans. Their tape recorders were confiscated. The Press reporter was held in the stadium's police station, and the KYW reporter was escorted from the stadium. The week before, a tabloid television crew had secretly followed Veterans Stadium security guards trying to keep order in 700. Club officials said the removal of the reporters was a mistake. The Vet did not create rabid Eagles fans. The stadium actually inherited them from Franklin Field, where the Eagles built a rowdy following after winning the 1960 NFL championship. They moved to the $52million, multi-purpose Vet , along with the Phillies, when it opened in 1971. Since then, Section 700 has developed into the worst of the worst ? or the best of the best ? depending on your point of view. "The 700 level is very unique," Deery said. "It's a place where some people fear and others are proud to sit in it. The sad thing is that the Vet is coming to an end just as [coach Andy] Reid and [quarterback Donovan] McNabb are beginning. But we hope to keep the same mentality in the new stadium, though we know they will try to corral it as much as possible." Not necessarily. When plans for Lincoln Financial Field were first revealed, Eagles CEO Joe Banner said the facility "will bring the fans so much closer to the field. The entire building is designed from a fan's perspective and with a fan's day-of-game experience in mind." But a Philadelphia fan's "day of game" experience is not like many others in the NFL. "You can knock the Vet down, but it's the people that make the place," Lyons said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
