Bad Experience at Game

Fed up not the best choice of words, perhaps better to say disappointed this is now the norm in our country and sad for my children that they must live in this culture…they are outnumbered but fortunately have the resolve to make a positive contribution at least for those in their immediate reach…So, just to clarify. You’re fed up?
I get it. I have teenagers. Some of the behavior of their age groups is eye opening and the acceptance of it by their parents is even more so.
I was there. Really punks. The cheer when they left was hilarious. My wife's first game.. Had to explain abt Tosu fans.
People can not sit the F down and stay in their seats at these games. They are not there to watch the games from what I can tell.
New season ticket holder… 3 seats… brings wife and daughter to a game… right in front of ours. By their third game, wife is so fed up she says to hubby, loud enough for everyone to hear, “why can’t these people sit in their f… ing seats and watch the game!”
Where are you staying? The high rise stuff is generally good. The one place that is popular but still working through issues is the Palm Pavilion. They are hopeful to have the inn ready for February. If you are staying in buildings where your room access is ground level, there are still plenty of places that are working on restoration. Some places had electrical all submerged so some are still rewiring new electrical.
The beach is pretty good. A lot of the restaurants are finally back up. A week or so back the only two popular places that were still closed were Forlini’s (good Italian) and CLear Sky.
If you have specific places, let me know and I can post some pics of those if they aren’t up and running.
Way too many people and too much alcohol. Not a good combo.
Big screen TV, recliner, loungewear, afghan, no other people, is how this BOOMER enjoys watching a game. And if ya gotta take a pee, hit pause.
To each their own.
Go Nits!!!!

I wish my bladder had a pause button.
I 100% would have accommodated them. I’m 61 and can easily climb around the seats, what’s up with you? Feels like you had season tix holder upmanship
I’m glad to hear you are comfortable climbing around the seats at your age.
Yeah, I wanted to flex cause I have season tickets. You got me.

This may be why @laKavosiey-st lion doesnt go into the games. He fears my wrath.
Would it have killed you to accommodate them? Look how the mountain you died on wrecked your nite.
I took son1 to the uva PSU field goal game (College visit) Harry insisted we buy tickets beforehand ($85ea)
the stadium was 20% empty and I couldn’t sell moms $85 ticket for 5 bucks. Harry and I philosophically disagree on in stadium etiquette. We paid $200 for USC tickets, 2 OF 1s local bros bought tickets for $25 an hour before the game. 25 of us scoped it out and moved our group to the open scoreboard end zone and had a blast (stood)
I think you still owe me for that ticket.
What don’t you understand about me not being comfortable climbing over the seats, with seat backs, when it’s jam packed. If it wasn’t crowded and I could more easily navigate around, I would gladly have done so.
I agree, it did offer a lot. But over the past 10, maybe 15 years it really has slipped, to the point we have not been back.
agree with that as well. The inner harbor was great and nice and bright and shiny but they let it rest on its laurel's and now it's slowing coming back. Fells Point has improved along with the new(ish) Harbor place. The art museum is an under appreciated. They are trying but I'm not a fan of the current mayor or much of the city council.
You've probably seen the comment "human beings don't deserve dogs".
Gotta watch those 30 somethings who booze too much. My first move would have been to get an usher to settle things. But I admire the forearm to the chest by your son. That definitely would have been my second move if an usher wasn't available. I don't like disrespectful drunks, especially those who claim territory that isn't their's. Hope you never have an experience like that again.
And we won. Can still see Tamba Hali steamroll the OSU QB. Great game.
Both, and more, like the pee-wee sports organizations that don't want kids to realize losing is a fact of life.
Thank you for saying that. This is a great transfer portal thread.So, just to clarify. You’re fed up?

The problem is if only 2% of the crowd are drunken jerks, that’s over 2,000 potential problems and/or incidents.
I had season tickets from 1981 thru 2007, sat in three different locations over the years and was always given aisle seats (per my request to the ticket office as I’m 6’3” and was 250 lbs).
Always had no problem letting people pass as my two seats always were a full two seats instead of being in the middle of the row and being a seat and a 1/2. Could always “cheat” with a leg partially out in the aisle too.
Never had any issues close to me…..but there were always drunks within viewing distance.
At age 74, I now prefer the comfort of home and the ability to watch games from 11AM to after midnight on my fall Saturdays…..with my kitchen full of food and my bathroom(s) only seconds away!

She’s my grand dog. I take care of her on weekdays when my son- the doctor - is working. She’s a great dog. Those eyes talk to me with her emotions.
I attended the game in 2011 against Nebraska. U of N fans sat near us. They were gracious and respectful. Have family in Husker country too…they say that the fan base for the most part is very knowledgeable and friendly and respectful.
We went to the Delaware game as well and sat near some U of Delaware students who were funny as all get out. They were cheering for first downs and saying We are Hen State. They were cheering great plays by Penn State too and were respectful to my young daughter.

I remember crawling around Fells Point in 1976. The Greek Discos were a different world!!! A little later I rolled into Ledbetter w my polo and flip flops on. The bar tender was cool we all got along fine
Anyone see the video of the Vols mom who said an OSU fan came up to her and her son (young) after the game to say 'Santa isn't real'? People are the worst.
Correct, the current mayor is an *******. One of my good friends used to be on the mayor security detail for each of the last three, but he just couldn’t take it anymore with this guy and retired.
Wow I bet he has some stories. I have not been a fan of the past 4-5 Baltimore Mayors starting with O'Malley and don't even get me started on the last 4 or 5 Chief of Police.
Thanks for the help in answering the question. I haven't been out that way but I do have a buddy staying in CLR Beach while his Indian Rocks Breach condo is being repaired. He's not complaining anything out there.
Definitely hit or miss with certain restaurants probably still knocked out. I toured some restoration in downtown St Pete and that looked like it was getting back to normal but the beach is probably in worse shape.
