Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 2 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said: Pretty accurate tbh. Gave up my seasons a couple years ago for this reason. I get it. It's a reason to cut loose, have fun and such. Back when I was younger it seemed there were more people that would get drunker later on in the game. But first 3 quarters were fairly tame. Almost every game I went to the last few years I have seen people stagger in through the gate. My bet is the more the tailgating experience has grown combined with the absolutely ridiculous beer prices in the stadium more people focus on imbibing before the game. Of course after kickoff no one settles in and watches the game anymore either.half the game is spent with people walking back and forth up and down the aisle to go on beer runs, bathroom breaks and such. The in person experience has moved for watching a football game to a party with a game in the background. Make sure to take those selfies too, gotta get the perfect shot for your Facebook. I usually drive so i tend to not get hammered, but i'll have a few pops before i go in. Stop drinking at noon, order a chicken finger bucket, a water, and a cup of coffee. I will say i have had some rough experiences in the 300s, so i've been spending a bit more to sit a little closer. My wife (a pats fan) and her two sisters had beer dumped on their heads by the girl in the row behind them. I texted the hotline and they tossed the girl and she was NOT happy - but cmon now, be better. The young 20 somethings are the ones causing a lot of the ruckus i feel. Went to my first away game at arrowhead a year ago - nobody gave me a lick of trouble. They'd all joke that we were gonna get thrashed and embarrassed, but after that TJ pick they all sort of just shook my hand and left me alone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something no one should ever have to witness during what should be a good time. Very disturbing, no matter what triggered it. https://www.nbcboston.com/on-air/as-seen-on/police-investigating-fans-death-during-sundays-patriots-game-at-gillette-stadium/3139210/ It's why no matter what happens out in public unless my life is in danger, I walk away. Not worth dying over, being shot over, severely beaten, etc... People are psychotic these days and have no respect for human life. Also with everything that has gone on the past 3-4 years you have no idea what a person's mental state is and if you will be the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of pushing them over the line where they snap and just can't take it anymore.

I have a Canadiens fan that I did that with for years when I had Bruins season tickets at my disposal. We joke around about how crappy the others team was then always end up saying “ the loser buys dinner tonight!” As you can see we ended up as friends. Lol I never will understand getting so angry at something that’s suppose to entertain you and help you forget your own issues for awhile.

I don’t want to argue about this, but the article posted above said this Quote By the fourth quarter it had just kind of come to blows,” said Joe Kilmartin, who recorded part of the confrontation. “Then you saw a fan deliver two punches to the victim, a Dolphins fan, he was wearing a Dolphins jersey, and the victim just kind of slumped over at that point in his seat.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen plenty of drunk and stoned people get in fights. Unfortunately true. Having grown up with the idea that stoners don't get violent, it was kind of a shock to me in my work to see how often people involved in violent crime were chronic weed users. Often with alcohol, but still. That whole pothead kumbaya thing was either a myth to begin with or has sadly been superseded by a new type of user. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever known a recreational weed user who isn't also a drinker. My impression today is that any heavy user of intoxicants, separately or in combination, is more prone to doing stupid and dangerous things. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am not sure which it is, mind you Pats fan, dolphins fan… a fan of U2 it doesn’t matter. There was zero need for what happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a kumbaya guy when I smoke and almost everyone I know isn't either. The only time I will get the giggles is when I drink. Weed will chill you but you are still fully cognizant. Most Jiu Jitsu/grapplers guys I know smoke and many smoke before training. Many NFL players get ripped before games....they aren't kumbaya on the field LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but if just pot, the chance of violence is near zero...add in others and of course the chance increases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
