I used to go down to the dolphins stadium once a year for a game. I always thought it would great to be at a dolphins home game surrounded by other dolphins fans. You know, “my people” No. every game I went to I was surrounded by fans of the visiting team.

I went to a Patriots game like that....stadium was mostly Patriots fans but my particular section had a ton of Packer fans.

I think that's just the nature of the game for all teams.  With so many great ways to watch a game, being there isn't necessarily the best, so you pick and choose when to go.  And you go when the opposing team is in town.  When we travel to NY, there are always huge groups at the MetLife Takeover. 

It's just the way it goes.

I think that varies.  You are much more likely to see a Steelers or Packers fan at a Dolphins or Jaguars game than a Dolphins or Jaguars fan at Heinz or Lambou.

That's because no one from out of town wants to move to those cities.  Evil

I think there's ultimately nothing like the feeling of being in the crowd.  So much other stuff sucks -- the view, the cost, getting up, the waiting, the weather, etc.  But when you're in the crowd, there's an electricity to it.



You've never been to a game in Oakland, huh?  Wink

My BF's has season tickets (Patriots), really good seats (lower bowl).  The people around him are always selling to the visiting team.  When I do make it to the 'Phins game it's pretty cool, the surrounding rows are mostly Miami fans.

As I'm sure you know the Steelers' and Packers' fans have always traveled well.  A big part is also that they usually have good teams so they have a high number of season ticket holders that show up to games, hence it's expensive for opposing fans to buy tickets for those games, if they are available at all.

On the other hand, after decades of being bad it's cheap to get really good seats for a Bills game.  My brother has season tickets for the Bills down low near the field and can't even get face value if he tries to sell them.
