FEDEX Crowd Noise Sunday Night (Merged Thread)

[CVN70]

This is my 2nd year as a season ticket holder and I’m amazed at the difference a year makes at the stadium. I was up in the 422 section and then over in 404 for the 2nd half and was amazed at how rowdy the crowd was. There must have been at least 4 bona fide fights to the point where we had security guards in every aisle. Beer was being thrown, fights were breaking out all over, I even saw a fan grab an Eagles jacket from the back of a seat and throw it over the back wall. I almost felt bad for the Eagles fans there, but was happy to see FedEx starting to creep towards resembling RFK. The walk down the stairwells after the game was out of control also, it was definitely not a friendly environment for the Eagles fans and FedEx is definitely starting to get a little street cred, but I wont be satisfied until after the Dallas game. The “we want Dallas” chants for the past 7 years have been WEAK. We’ll see…

"WE WANT A LARGER FONT" "WE WANT A LARGER FONT"

Jacket over the wall... That's great!

I hope we dont start becoming known as somewhere thats not a "friendly atmosphere". The last thing I want to be on the same level as, is Eagle fan.
That being said, we FINALLY have a home feild advantage, people have been crazy ever since Chicago opened the season this year. You could even make the argumetn that the fans won that game. Chicago in FG range, three false starts later, 3rd and 33.

yeah sounded like we were acting like eagle fans, while i hate that i am sure there will be fewer and fewer rival fans in OUR stadium. I hate the reputation that eagle fans have and would be embarassed if we ended up with the same

You could definitely hear the chants and tell that it was loud in the stadium watching the game on TV. It was great to hear. It also looked like there were a lot less Philly jerseys in the stadium compared to years past.

As for our rep, while I definitely don't want Philly's reputation, I'm also sick of visiting fans feeling like they can come into our house and be loud and act like assholes. We can still be accomodating fans, but don't try to come into our stadium and think you have the run of the place. I think that's happened way too often the past few years, especially with divisional games.

i too was at the game last night, i've been to 8 or so games over the last 3 years and last nights game was, by far ,the loudest it has ever been. i, along with the other 90,000 skins fans, stood up and shouted on every play when the skins were on defense, it was great.

as far as fedex field becoming known as a not "friendly atmosphere" i don't think that will be the case, it was just so roudy last night because all those damn philly fans were talking shit the whole night and it was great that every skins fan was in thier faces talking back, then when the final whistle blew the whole stadium just became INTENSLY happy and was telling them eagles fans to shut thier mouths and go back to philly.

hail to the skins.

Guys, I really felt like it was bushleague the way our fans interfered with the Eagles while they were trying to run their offense. The refs should have thrown a flag and put a stop to that mess.....
