Fans In the Stands and in the Tailgating Lots

Yes. 2008. It's weird but there seems to be a connection between consumption of alcohol and being a douche.

Somewhere Andy Brodell is still running with no one in sight.
If you can't handle your alcohol, and many cannot, you need to at least have a friend or two who can keep you inline, slap some sense into you sorry as@.

The Hawkeye fanbase does have the highest percentage of bad fans I've encountered, but I also realize that is very likely the case because the Hawkeye fanbase is the one I encounter the most.

I've gone to many NFL games as a fan of the road team. The actions from fans of the home team toward me make even bad Hawkeye fans look like saints.
Yeah, I've never been to an NFL game but I've heard it can be brutal.

I've heard that more than once that NFL fans are brutal

Found this as we walked back to the lots to leave. This was in A4 and that was written on the windshield. Probably can’t blame it on the other team, but the wrong thing to do.

I zoomed in and can't make out what's written. I suppose it's something that can't be said in a post?
 
Iowa fans think it's their responsibility to disrespect their opponents' fans when they are in enemy territory, and no place do they feel more comfortable acting like a WWE wrestling heel than Ames, Iowa. 75 percent of Iowa fans are fine. But their 25% is as bad as any I've ever encountered. It's what one poster here has so accurately defined as "Haydenism".

Don't know if I coined it but I use that term quite often.

It is still going strong.

I truly loathe the Hok game at Jack Trice because of the behavior of some of them. I've been to several home games for many years and the other opposing fans are respectful and don't do the shenanigans that hok fans do.
I’ve had so many great experiences visiting (mostly) Big 12 venues, gracious fans that are happy you came - often times literally going out of their way to be welcoming. The only two overall negative experiences are Kinnick and Autzen.
 
It does seem that way but I do doubt it. We just have to deal with them in greater numbers. I'm sure Clemson and SC would say the same about each other...or A&M and Texas...or Auburn and Alabama.

I'm guessing the "everyone hates them" is simply confirmation bias to a large extent.
JFC, no. It isn’t.

Iowa has a significantly large amount of arrogant prick douche fans. A much, much higher % than most fanbase. They are universally (correctly) hated by opposing fanbases. They are every bit arrogant and douchy and punchable as Nebraska fans, without any meaningful historical success to back it up.

The “friends and family” you think are the ‘good’ kind of suckeye fan? Yeah, half of them are total pricks and demonstrate unearned suckeye arrogance when you’re not around.
 
Philadelphia sports fans would like a word.
Yes, LOL, but they hate each other too. I went to a Flyers game once and two women broke out in a fight in the pretzel line I was in. Both wearing Flyer jerseys. I was assumed to be a Rangers fan because I wasn't wearing any hockey apparel. It wasn't worse or better than being in Kinnick, but I kept my mouth shut and didn't do anything stupid so had no trouble.

I posted some time ago I met my wife at a ISU/Iowa game there when she was in law school. I later ran into her on the streets again after the game and started dating. No, she wasn't working the streets LOL. Through therapy she realized the error of her ways being a Iowa fan. Iowa Law school was good, Iowa fan not. She still has nightmares of being an Iowa fan. LOL.

I actually didn't have or see any bad fan interactions which was nice, also didn't notice any of the special visitors.

Right after getting in the stadium I noticed my car keys weren't in my pocket. Worried about it all game, but hoped they were in a tailgating chair. Got out after the game, checked all the chairs and around on the ground, but didn't see them. Someone in our group happened to look up and see them sitting on the back of my truck. If any of you found them and set them there (lot C3), I'm very grateful!

You had 12 beers, too? Welcome to the club!

Nah, just scribbled over the license plate so as to not identity the driver who parked in a no-parking space.
