Western Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, and the corn belt. Yes, we have our share of flunkies, but I suspect that a disproportionate number of them are from the South.
on the field
I think that you're the one who may have missed the humor :-)
Yeah, the Midland HIGH SCHOOL stadium holds 18,000 and is routinely sold out.

The only time I have ever seen an NFL crowd stay in their seats at halftime was when the halftime entertainment was the Best Damn Band in the Land. It is better to see at the Horseshoe though.
In the south, apparently not very much.
One of these days, when I win the Powerball and can afford it, we'll set off on a tour of these stadiums. That being said, having been to day and night games at Tiger Stadium, there is a very noticeable difference in the crowd's behavior, which is why LSU hates playing day games at home. Bring in Florida, Alabama or Auburn after the sun has set and that place is a nuthouse.
WOW. Chill out man, we're talking about football.
A few years back LSU was playing Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium and the old fieldhouse caught fire. Flames were leaping as high as the upper deck. Talk about a barn-burner.
Or Friday night HS hockey in Minnesota
Waaay back when, before PC became the rule..I was at Baton Rouge for a game when Paul Dietzel was the coach..remember the "chinese bandits" defense?..The entire student body wore coolie hats and carried chopsticks....it was a hoot..
When I was a freshman at LSU I actually carried a gallon milk container filled with vodka and orange juice and wasn't stopped.
yep
I think that's pretty common everywhere....
It's probably a combination of people having all day to fuel up along with the fact that night games are generally good matchups....
Very nice.
From my neck of the woods (on the Left Coast):
A UCLA student goes into a bar near the campus of USC. He walks up to the bar and says to the tender, "Hey, I have a great Trojan joke to tell you!"
The bartender says, "Well, before you tell that joke, son, I should tell you that I went to USC, and I'm 6'1, 220 lbs. That guy down the bar, he went to USC, and he's 6'4, 235 lbs. And the bouncer at the door went to USC, and he's 6'6, 300 lbs. of pure muscle. Now...are you SURE you want to tell this joke?"
The UCLA student paused for a second before saying, "Not if I have to explain it three times, no."
photoshop must be a major down there....LOL
ping
LOL
yeah my brother got to go to every single Ohio State home game in the 2002 championship season (he was still a student there).
He would call and I wouldn't hear him at all because it was so loud...especially the Michigan game.
