Re: "I'm not going to lie, I've never seen so many of the opposing teams fans at a game..."

He never visited the old Orange Bowl in the early to mid-1970s, when the Dolphins played the Jets.

Remember, this is the period when the Dolphins were the most dominant team in football.

50% of the Orange Bowl was rooting for the Jets!

Almost as weird, the Orange Bowl was in the heart of Little Havana, but almost no Hispanics attended the games.

70% of season ticket holders were from Broward (Ft. Lauderdale) and Palm Beach County!

When the Yankees play the Rays at the Trop, it might as well be a Bronx home game. I feel your pain
