I hate the fans who cheer when we are on offense and in the huddle or at the line. Man, that annoys me.
Over the past 10 years, the demographics of 49er fans have changed dramatically. Prior to 2000 or so, the overwhelming majority of season ticket holders were WW2 vets and Baby Boomers. They were dyed-in-the-wool football fans, and very knowledgeable, and very civil in their behavior. There were occasional fights but nothing like in the past decade.
Now, as those people have gotten older and find the rigors of getting to their seats in the stadium too much for them, many of their seats have been taken over by younger fans who seem more interested in getting drunk than watching the game, the behavior has taken a turn for the worse. Though some of them are knowledgeable fans who know when to cheer and when to be quiet, it is my observation that they are far less knowledgeable than the people who sat around us in the '90s and before.
