My experience in Washington, D.C. last weekend
Well for those of you that don't know, I live in Virginia and go to college there as well- so when there's a Cardinals game either in Washington, Baltimore, or Charlotte- I jump on it.
I have been to Carolina and I can say this- Panthers fans have class. A lot of it. Yes, they gave me crap, but who wouldn't with Shaun King starting. And it was "gentle" crap, if that makes any sense. I went to DC this past weekend to see the game, and honestly, have never seen that many low-life drunks with the intelligence of 8 year olds in my entire life. Not once did I flaunt something in their face, but yet, every time I celebrated with my friend and just slapped hands, I had ice thrown at me. To top it all off, after Rackers missed the field goal, a guy got right up in my face and challenged me to fight. Out in the parking lot, someone called out "Hey Fitzgerald!" ...then walked up to me like he was gonna throw a punch..and AGAIN challenged me to fight. Are all NFL fans like this? I mean are there Cardinals fans like this? Cause this was awful...my friend that took me was wearing a pink Leinart jersey, she's the most innocent of girls, and she was so upset. I hope this is just a Redskins thing, cause I absolutely hate everything about that team, but man- I have never seen a bigger group of stupid drunks in my life. For three hours they tried to make up for their inadequate size by starting fights with a fan who was there to see his team play, and nothing more. If it wasn't for all the work, I would have posted this sooner, but I did eventually have to get some feedback from you guys.

And that's a division rival team.. trust me man, we're NOTHING like that. I never understood the idea of fighting over football, that makes no sense to me. Again dude, sorry you had to deal with that. If you ever get the chance to come out here for a game, do post and let us know. We'll make sure you have an experience that will make you forget all about Washington. Nothing beats a Cardinal game at UofP.

The only instance I had was walking into the stadium. A group of drunked a**holes, starting yelling **** p*ssy leave our stadium..ect. Other than that, it was an okay experirence. Also, that has to be one of the worst tailgating setups I have ever seen.....40+ parking lots at least 3-5 miles from the stadium and they bus about 65% of the fans from those parking lots. The parking lots at the stadium leave no room to tailgate. Last edited by PiercingCard77 : 10-25-2007 at 11:30 AM.

I haven't been to Fedex but many other venues as a visitor. I've never had much trouble - just the normal friendly insults all in fun. I've been offered beer and food from home fans while visiting and I've done the same for visitors. Having said that, there are always idiots who ruin things for good people. It's not a matter of one team having good fans while other teams do not. That's comparable to saying one race or religion is bad and others are good. In truth, there are a few jerks out there no matter what team and the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. I'll bet most skins fans would be embarrassed to treat a visitor in such a way. Too bad you had a lousy experience but I'd give it another chance. If it continues to be that bad, then just give up and watch it from home but I'll wager you just were unfortunate this particular game. Hey - imagine if Rackers made that field goal?

amazing how no one around the fool says anything to them. If someone in our area was throwing ice at any fan for any team I'd report it to security.
there's no place for that At the Monday Night San Fran game we had ice thrown at my wife and the guys wife next to me. karma will come back to them

I was there and Im sorry that you went through that BS. All the fans near me were great. One guys at the begining of the game saw me and my brother decked out in Cards gear said "Oh Boy im gonna mess with you two hardcore" But he never did. Even after the game he shook our hands and said "Great game, you all should of won that, Joe Gibbs Sucks!" lol
I have been to a lot of Skins/Cards games and never had a problem with skins fans, even back in the day when we were in the same division at old RFK. As far as tailgating we had pleanty of room so Im not sure where you were at, but we were in the far back corner in front of gate A.

Went to the Cards/Ram game in STL(I live 10 minutes from STL) A guy who was jawing with us the entire game decided to wait until he was walking out to toss a beer on us. Classless! My Bro-in-law chucked a beer($8--idiot) at him and hit him right in the chest! The guys friends thought it was quite funny! Your experience sounds alot worse. I actually sat amongst a group of Skins fans at a game at Sun Devil(almost 10 years ago) and they were actually alot of fun!!!
