My concern isn’t even that the opposing fans are there. But between the enormous number of opposing fans, the new group that is running security, and is noticeably less involved, and the more “adult” atmosphere, promoting beer sales and whatnot, it’s creating quite an atmosphere on gamedays.
I gotta say, it was loud and awesome for the first couple games in ways it previously wasn’t until the playoffs. But since we started struggling I have seen flying drinks, fighting, the video from the bathroom a few weeks back and all kinds of stuff. I’m not clutching the pearls, it’s just a very different atmosphere. The Patriots fans weren’t singing the goodbye song at panthers fans leaving, there was a brawl up in the 500 level and the panthers fans had to be moved out of that section. That’s when they started singing. I have really thought twice about wanting the wife/kids at these games these days.
