As someone who grew up going to Friday night Giants/Dodgers games at the Stick, I will admit to not always following those guidelines in the past but I am not proud of it.
Honestly I have always had a competitive nature against opposing teams fans during game time, i talk s**t, make them feel "uncomfortable" mainly because it keeps them quiet. I draw the line at "fighting words" but fighting words to me may be a little different from the next man I wont start a fight but i sure as hell will defend myself. But usually after games its back to being humane and friendly even with opposing fans. The only place ive ever been uncomfortable wearing my teams colors is Seattle, even the TSA agents at Sea Tac are dicks to anyone wearing another teams colors, even worse to division rivals to the point they knocked my hat out of the scanning bucket after going through the xray machine to pick it up and advertise I was a 49ers fan.

Just like the longtime accusations of the metrodome running a piping system to echo the crowd noise back into the stadium to make it louder lol.
So tell me cuz Im not going to read through all of these pages, what is your description of a bad thug degenerate fan?

Are you saying that you intimidate opposing fans into being quiet? Do you do the same when you go to games on the road or only when you are flanked by fellow Niner fans? If someone made my wife feel intimidated I am not sure that I would get quiet rather than trying to be more intimidating than the aggressor.
Opposing fans aren't going to make enough noise to disrupt the home team so I don't see the advantage.
Originally posted by LoneWolf:Alone or not, I live in Alaska, there isn't alot of 49ers fans up here, im not sure intimidation is the correct word just talking trash about plays the opposing team is making, stupid mistakes there team makes events that happen during the game. Not trying to scare there fans. Like on the webzone keeping the trash talk about the teams, not personal. If they take an insult against the team they are fans of that's a them problem if they decide take it personally. I have been to games in Sea never actually been to a game at the stick, but even if i get the chance to this year its not going to chance my demeanor first and foremost im there to watch the team ive been a fan of since childhood, ill talk trash but im not the kind of person who goes around looking for fights.

Alaska? That is pretty awesome. I would love to get up there for some fishing and sightseeing.

Burning Dodger pennants in the bleachers smells bad
