[QUOTE="weeds, post: 754079, member: 39"] Bill, I agree if the game is in like Philadelphia where their lousy fans harass the living hell out of visiting teams' fans. Detroit is like that...and to what I think is a lesser degree...all stadiums. In Green Bay however, by-and-large, visiting teams fans are mostly welcomed unless they start talking crap. If they come LOOKING for trouble and mouth off in a drunken stupor, one of the local farm boys will kick their *** for them. Saw it Philly after the 4th and 26 game. Philly loud mouths from their notorious 700 Section (or something like that) pushing a pregnant Packers fan around for wearing a Packers jacket to their stadium. 4 Wisconsin guys jumped in...kicked their ***es and ended up being hauled to the stadium "jail" that Philly fans always bragged about. Half filled Packer Brother? You exaggerate a hundred million, gazillion, trillion times per day, or at minimum, just this once. Vikings fans have always traveled well to Green Bay and are willing to pay excruciating high prices too - although for this game, I can't imagine what the secondary market was getting per ticket. Fact is that Viking fans in my history have always been the most fun fans to share Lambeau with. I have NEVER had a bad experience with visiting Viking fans, matter of fact, just the opposite is true. Second, Viking fans, as someone said, are in a kind of 'rarified' air this season...and it's not unlike when the Pack resurgence started. Following the '95 season the fan base 'changed' with a lot of new fans who kind of emerged out of nowhere. The Vikings, though no strangers to the playoffs haven't had a real "Super Bowl" type team since Favre went there on his mercenary mission to "stick it to Ted". Of course there is going to be a resurgence in "fringe fan" interest. That's the way that boat floats. Why wouldn't Vikings fans who can't get in the Glass Menagerie due to hometown interest buy up tickets in an opposing team's stadium that constitutes a day trip? It's all about green backs anyway...Minnesota folks party with the best of 'em so, I say "Welcome to Green Bay, Heidi." Do not confuse internet Viking fans with their REAL fan base. [/QUOTE]
