    The rowdiest crowd I've been at was a Jets-Bills game...in Buffalo. Opener, SNF. I saw so many fights in the stands! But... the worst part to me ha ha... most of the fights were between... drunk Bills fans! Not between the fans of the two teams.

     

    This is what happened at Giants Stadium on this night.

     

     

    4. Oct. 17, 1988 ­— Bills 37, Jets 14

    The “Pumpkin Game” featured 41 incidents of improper behavior in the stands, 15 arrests and 56 ejections. Fans burned complimentary paper hats in the stands and batted around an inflated pumpkin. This game led to the stadium halting beer sales after halftime during night games.

    New Viking Uniforms look pretty cool

    I'd rather they go full time to the 60's standing Buffalo and jerseys. Something about winning the league title twice and nearly a 3-peat w/ going to SB I where they matched up way better against the Pack' moreso than the Chiefs did. 

     

    90s Bills were the best team in a weak AFC at the time (still shouldve beaten the Giants if Jimbo's ego didnt prevent Thurman from eating way more). 60s Bills were better than most NFL teams at the time and imo would've won SB I. 

     

    Iirc the 65 Bills Defense still holds the record 17 game streak of not allowing a rushing TD. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    The B2B AFL champion Bills was before my time, but those uniforms were nice. I would like to see those brought back as well. If not full time, then for one game a season.

    There's definitely still fights but... most stadiums are pretty serious about it and there's a fan hotline to text if you ever feel threatened.  It's the... i'll handle this business myself crowd that tends to escalate it.  I've used it at the bills stadium and they tossed people very quickly (my wife's a patriots fan and a girl behind us dumped a beer on her sisters head).  They walked up and i stood up and pointed at the girl who did it.  Her friends relocated to another section because there's really no recourse.  What are you going to punch me in front of security?  

     

    A big part of it here in NJ is many of the fans got priced out when they went from Giants Stadium to MetLife. You have more of a corporate crowd now. I would expect the same thing will happen in Buffalo were many fans get priced out at the new stadium.

    I wore a bills jersey in KC 2 season ago, and while people gave me some grief but nobody was particularly hostile?  I did go with a group of chiefs fans though.  Scariest dude i've probably ever met (probably 6'8 350 biker dude with a mohawk and his head painted like a chiefs helmet) was actually really nice in the beer line.  The issue there is just how cocky and condescending their fans are towards the rest of the league.  It's obnoxious and they desperately need a humbling.  

     

    Philly fans have a bad history of violence, but i feel like you'd probably be ok at this point.  It's likely very similar to buffalo - a couple hundred bad apples needing to perpetuate a stereotype.  In buffalo thats... drinking in massive excess, and performing dangerous table related stunts.  In philly its also drinking in massive excess and being jerks to just about everyone and everything.  

     

    It doesn't happen that much today but back in the Giants Stadium days there were always fights in the stands between Bills and Jets fans. There was a Monday night game where the crowd was especially rowdy. The Bills beat the Jets bad something like 37-14 and there so many fights that the Meadowlands banned selling alcohol after halftime after that. That rule still applies today. This was back in the late 80's/early 90's. It was the rowdiest game I was ever at.
