Obnoxious Stiller Fans

Whos to say it wasn't a Hoopie? They like the Steelers for the most part here.

I was stunned that West Virginia fans just tossed full beer cans and water bottles from the upper deck onto the lower deck without penalty. I later heard they've been doing this for 20

There is also a portion of the Pitt fan base that chooses this forum to antogonize Steeler fans (which generally overlap largely with Pitt fans). So it’s antagonizing your own people.

Yeah, this is really annoying.
 
What he was saying though is if you remove alcohol then it never gets to that point. Sure you can remove the guy who choked the pregnant lady, but she already got choked. Remove the fans throwing frozen bottles, but people already got hit in the head. Remove the alcohol, none of that happens to begin with.

Safety only matters though when money isn’t being compromised. I mean it won’t completely solve the problem because people will still tailgate outside before the games. But I just don’t think enforcing rules is really gonna scare people, especially drunk people that probably only have a handful of brain cells to begin with.

Taking it beyond just being thrown out of a stadium, a fan was killed at a dodgers-giants baseball game. Pretty sure the fan who killed the other fan knows murder lands you in jail. Ok you get punished great, still didn’t prevent the incident from happening.

I’m not pretending to know the answer of what to do. I just don’t think trying to scare rowdy drunk people with reprocussions is very effective at preventing these incidents.

You ban or take a lot of stuff in an attempt to prevent bad things from happening including injury or death but that's not how the world works!

If you ban vehicles and alcohol there wouldn't be any injuries or deaths from DUI's?
If you ban all motorized vehicles the deadliest tool in the tool box you can prevent lots of injury and death?
You can ban alcohol at sports stadiums and hope there won't be any violence but there's lots of dangerous non drinking crazies who get cranked up watching sports??

The answer is a to have a appropriate deterent in place!

fyi- this incident is a classic examples of making the exception the rule
Back in the days when people had brains the exceptions were the exception today they become the rule!
 
This is so true, and I know pittsburgh fans often don’t like to hear it.
Because it's not really common. I've been to about 60 Steelers games and only witnessed 3 fights between fans and one of those fights was in Baltimore. So 2 fights in about 50+ Steelers home games that I've witnessed in person.

The Steelers win at home a lot. When a game unfolds like it did against the Chargers, the spoiled fans cant handle it and start taking it out on each other and the opposing fan base. Wait until they go through a stretch of losing.

I've been to losses and never saw fights. I think its an exaggeration to act like it's really common or to think it doesn't happen elsewhere. The people that push this, just hate the Steelers or the NFL in general. Personally, I think Heinz Field is very welcoming to visitor fans in general.

I guess I was more referring to the way they lost. I was at the Ravens game early this ear and it was very calm. Part of it may have been because the Steelers were losing most of the game and didn't blow a huge lead. It too was a night game.

There was 3 last week that we know if, probably more. Not the end of the world but to say it’s not common is naive.

I’ve been to plenty and have seen plenty. Hell, I’ve been in a couple. All you need to do is leave the kids at home, please for the love of god leave the pregnant wife at home, know your gonna see some drunken boorish behavior from adults and if you are ok with it, then so be it.

It is a sport where people just run into each other. I mean, look at the gsme in its basic element. We drink beer and scream for our guys to hurt their guys. Why is anyone surprised when they see barbaric behavior at a footbsll game.

That Ravens game is probably the more normal experience. and these A-holes fighting, I doubt they are even fighting about the game itself. it's usually something stupid, like you stepped on my shoe, or looked at my ugly girlfriend. LOL.

At a Steeler game? You are out of your mind. Pitt? Yeah. We are too welcoming.

For a Steeler game, you have an opposing teams jersey on, you are in for a very long day. We are top 5 in bad behavior to opposing fans. Not raider bad, we won’t kill you but you are probably going to get into some sort of fight. And we don’t care if you are a man, or pregnant woman.

That's your experience, mine is nothing like that. My experience is pretty calm and friendly environment 90% of the time.

Well there are videos all over the internet that have similar experiences as me.

Really, I don't notice it ever, I usually make a point of hanging out with and talking to visiting fans, and like I said, I have almost never seen any fights. Not that they aren't happening, maybe on the other side of the stadium or something, I just don't notice it much.

I didn't say it never happens, then again, nobody posts videos of hanging out conversing with visitor fans so you think that doesn't happen.
 
Whatever. maybe I'm lucky and go when nothing much is going on.
I’ve been to a few ravens games in my younger days wearing a Steeler jersey. It’s an experience. Not fearful but you keep your eyes open. That’s why I recommend if you do this, bring a couple buddies.

Still can’t beliece that dude brought his pregnant wife with a charger jersey on, to a night Steeler game. What in the hell was he thinking.

I live in Baltimore, I went to 6 of the first 7 Ravens vs. Steelers games between '96-'02, never had a problem, wore Steelers gear every time, experienced some trash talk and saw one fight. Once after Steelers beat the Ravens, some dude said, at least our baseball team doesn't suck, so I yelled, "Baseball sucks! and so does Cal Ripken!" Best line ever in 1998 or so. I almost caused a fight, but it didn't get out of hand, LOL! GREAT TIMES! For the record, I've never been in a fight at any sporting event.

That would actually be a cool documentary. Get a few guys, each with a hidden camera and have them go to every nfl stadium, wearing the opposing team jersey. Have them tailgate a bit at each game. Document it all.

I’d watch that.
I always got a kick out of these two guys.
 
I’ve been to about 10 games at Heinz Field and have never seen a fight. Yelling, we’ll sure. But not anything physical.

Went to 3 Steeler road games in the last few years. Baltimore you could feel the evil in the stadium, but didn’t see any fights. New England had a lot of banter, but mostly good natured. Chicago we were in the club level with 50% Steeler fans so no issues

I don’t see it....at least not unprovoked. I see a lot more opposing teams fans being obnoxious. Chances are they are staying around town and are really hammered

So there's 65k people at the game and in your words 3 fights which is probably 6 people so do the math on that one. The percentage of people who fight at NFL games compared to those who attend, drink, eat, have fun, isn't calculable.

Again the squeaky wheel is dominating the news cycle these days and this is a perfect example of it!!!!!!!

I seen more fights in the grocery store parking lot or grocery store gas pumps when someone takes a close in parking space that another person thought was theirs. And most of those fights involve sober seniors! And this happens everyday not just on gameday Sundays?!!
If we follow your logic maybe we should take away grocery stores to make sure this violence doesn't happen.

The math for fights in NFL stadiums is worse than the one kid in a school class who doesn't like birthday parites so the school bans all birthday parties? This is in the news a lot.

Or the one family in a school who doesn't celebrate Christmas so there goes the classroom and school Christmas Tree? This is also in the news. Stay tuned its the Christmas season and we'll be seeing on of these stories very soon!

The squeaky wheel!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that at least one Stiller fan ends up in intensive care this Sunday.
Why would you come to that conclusion??

Imagine having a shot and beer with one of these two?
I wonder if she takes you home from the bar does she take her Raiders Horns off?
Depending on what she's doing she could poke your eye out or get one of those horns stuck where they don't belong?
Maybe you get two for the price of one which was one of my specialties before I met Mrs Buffett!

I went to the first Monday night game at Heinz field

I saw 5 fights on the way into the stadium.
We were in our prime college drinking days- and we may have been the most sober people in our section.

Well, there was a Stiller fan killed at that Cowboys game at Heinz a few years ago

It's amazing, they have nut job fans like this and they are leaving town? Of course America has no soul and everything is based ONLY on money, but it is a shame.

I only drink 8-10 beers before going in and I think most people don't drink that much, that's why it's NOT about families, it's for adults that want to get hammered. Interesting though, I've seen 3 fights over 30 years at over 60 games and you saw 5 at one game.

For all the fervor of the Black Hole the Raiders almost never sell out, and frequently have oceans of empty seats. This has been the case for years. Stadium is an absolute shithole too, easily the worst in the league.
 
I remember many years ago when the Steelers played the Raiders on the road a guy wearing a Bubby Brister jersey was attacked at the stadium and viciously beaten.
 
When i was at Notre Dame i witnessed a fight between two ND fans. At a game they were beating us handily. What would they have to be angry about, especially at each other?

There are drunken fools everywhere.
 
There is a significant section of the stiller fan base that acts like the Hoopie fan base

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/steelers-fan-captured-choking-pregnant-woman-at-game-report-says

That's because so many Stiller fans are also hoopies. And I'd say it's a majority of them. That's why I refuse to be around them if I can at all avoid it. And I've never been to a Stillers game and never will go to one. I was offered club seats by the company I work for last year with free food and booze and turned them down. I don't want to be around that garbage.
 
I don’t go to games to sit back and watch and enjoy the game. I don’t go there to sit in my seat and relax with friends or family. I go to games to be a part of the game, to do my part in creating as much noise as humanly possible...whether it be yelling, clapping, slamming my hands or feet off the seats. I have no problem with fans yelling and saying profanity etc. We’re adults, fet over yourself...also your children hear it out of your mouth, on tv and at school, they’ll be fine.

Physical violance is dumb at an event, but if the violance is brought to you....as my mum always said, you don’t sit back and take a whoopin, you put it on them.

LOL! Wow, so you're a Stillers fan. Makes sense. I'm so glad I don't know you and am not around you in any way. Please stay where you are and don't invade civilization.

The only difference between hoopies and yinzers is the state on their driver license.

Folks need to understand this.
Watch the Stiller jerseys in public away from the stadium and any day of the week including churches and no restaurants.

It’s a distinction without a difference.
