Female Alabama fans are not to be trifled with:

female gumps are tough bitches, not to be trifled with....they have taken many a'beatings from their gump brothers/husbands/fathers (who in some cases are all the same person) over the years in the double wide trailer after Bama loses a game....so they have tough chins and can take a beating and also hit back. why do you think Nick Saban has made it his lifes mission to win so much at Bama? he's trying to save gump females from domestic violence.

(that was a joke btw....i don't condone hitting women....except if they are bama fans that is)

I know there was a time where I've gotten livid, steam-coming-from-ears, mindless angry over the result of a football game. Badge can attest to it, I've been on the phone with him while in that state.

Some people get that angry and lash out swinging. Others realize that it's not good and gain some perspective.

Also, the amount of problem-level drinking at NFL games puts even the booziest college stadiums (cough cough Camp Randall) to shame. I went to the Vikings game at the New Brickhouse the week after the Metrodome roof fell in. No sooner than I arrived than I saw 3 cops hauling off a man who was HAMMERED. While doing so, the man projectile vomited all over the concourse. Everyone just walked right through it.

unfortunately, an NFL stadium is no place for women & children

that is a great point, and you're right it's a huge problem. 

maybe they shouldn't sell alcohol at NFL stadiums....but....the NFL teams make a sh*t ton of money selling that alcohol at said NFL stadiums and Anheuser-Busch is probably the NFL's single largest sponsor.

unfortunately, an NFL stadium is no place for women & children

very true. which is pretty sad, because it's suppose to be a family event.

[FearlessF]

I'm not sure it's supposed to be, but it could be

I suppose the NFL owners are all about the Benjamin's and figure grown men drink more and spend more $$$ than women & children.

Remember that a lot of those fans were hammered when they walked through the turnstiles. 

Heck, I'm not sure whether they sold alcohol at your stadiums when you were students for CFB (they didn't at the time for Purdue though they do now, not to mention that I was underage for a few seasons and too poor to buy alcohol at stadium prices)... But I can tell you I was NOT sober for games pretty much ever. 

I doubt a lot of those folks got drunk AT the stadium. Some might have gotten slightly MORE drunk at the stadium, but that's really expensive to do. I'm guessing they were hammered before kickoff.

Agree 100%.

I might have a beer at a stadium but most people aren't getting hammered on stadium-price beer. The ones starting fights and projectile vomiting while being dragged out probably didn't get that way on stadium beer.

[Honestbuckeye]

It is a sad environment.  I will never go to an NFL game for that very reason.   

People just have self control or care for others.    

[Mdot21]

Justin Fields having a really bad start.....and it's not all on the Bears....he's had guys wide open that he's just not even seeing. He's taken 10 sacks this year in 2 games, NINE of them after 4 seconds in the pocket. 4 seconds is an ETERNITY in the NFL for a QB in a pocket to find an open guy or throw a ball away.

I think our sample from this forum is fouled because most of us did undergrad in stadiums where alcohol wasn't readily available. I know I went into the stadium drink, but always had the outlook that my time in the stadium would help sober me up. 

The last time I went to a Vikings game, there was no lack of people chugging in-stadium beer at a dizzying pace. 

[FearlessF]

yup, some folks get drunk and drunker in NFL stadiums

even with high prices and limits of only 2 at a time

many are on the corporate deal and the drinks are "free" to them
