What’s the most dangerous American sports stadium to visit as a rival fan?
Cowboys fan going to the Eagles’ stadium?
Giants fan going to the Dodgers’ stadium?
Ravens fan going to the Steelers’ stadium?
Broncos fan going to the Raiders’ stadium?
Auburn or Alabama fans going to each other’s stadiums?
Any rival fan going to a 49ers, Hurricanes, Phillies, or Flyers game?
To bad its limited to the USA because England is a far more dangerous place to be a visiting fan. They are segregated and often exit the stadium at separate times. Dont go to a Liverpoo match in anything but their jersey.
A Yankees fan going to Fenway might be pushing their luck.
A Duke fan going to a UK basketball game probably isn’t in any danger, but could hear a lot of insults.
Considering that Brian Stowe was left brain damaged and permanently disabled after being beaten at Dodger Stadium, I’m gonna go with this one.
That was more about thuggish racism than the teams. One incident in 55+ years doesnt mean a lot.
One? There are incidents of varying severity every year. Giants fan Marc Antenorcruz was shot to death outside the Dodgers stadium in 2003. A beatdown during this year’s playoffs left a Mets fan “missing a piece of his skull.”
The danger is overestimated at least in my experience. I’ve been to Fenway three times wearing my Yankees cap with no problems. A few people did say “You’re brave!,” but they were smiling. I was not there, however, when they were playing the Yankees.
Likewise in Yankee stadium I haven’t seen Red Sox fans be harassed unless they were acting like assholes.
I don’t know how it is now, but in 1983 I visited the old Comiskey Park in Chicago, as a visiting fan of the Kansas City Royals. Boy, was I glad to be with a group of fellow students. They weren’t Royals fans, they just wanted to see a ball game, but still I had some protection.
Those White Sox fans were ugly in manner to the visiting Royals, hurling all manner of insults, especially to one Royals player who had been in rehab. When the Royals won the game I took off my hat and folded my pennant when leaving the stadium with my friends.
Going to the Horseshoe wearing Maize & Blue isn’t a very pleasant experience.
Anyone going to an Eagles game who is not an Eagles fan.
When I was stationed near Philly they had a Cowboys fan beat nearly to death at an Eagles game. For the rest of the season they not only had undercover cops wearing opposing team’s jerseys during the game but also had a judge downstairs to immediately process all the arrests.
When you have to bring a judge to the stadium, you lose (or win, depending on your viewpoint).
And don’t call the team Liverpoo either. That might not go over very well. 
The truth hurts 
I like the idea of having a tame judge on hand, ready to do the office as soon as required. Rather mediaeval, like a private chaplain.
Shopping malls, parks, opera-houses and tearooms could all benefit from this approach.
It’s not a problem when it’s a Sox-Yankees game either. I bit more banter, but I’ve never seen anyone really heated.
I’ve been to Fenway a handful of times and have never seen a person with a Yankees hat on not take at least a little heat.
While the in-stadium experience wasn’t terrible wearing Red Sox gear in Yankee Stadium, the subway ride was less comfortable.
I went to a Raiders game in high school and sat with the families of the opposing team. They were throwing batteries and stuff at us and we got a police escort from the stadium before the game was over.
That being said I’d still vote Giants fan going to Dodger stadium. I’m a huge Dodger fan but damn some of the other fans are scary.
Were they just sitting there, or were they being vocal rooting against the Sox?
At Yankee Stadium, anybody who is rooting for the visiting team will probably get some flak if they are very vocal about it.
I’ve sat next to Yankees fans in full pinstripes at Fenway, and while people will give them good-natured ribbing it’s never become antagonistic or hateful. The few times things veered in that direction it was the Sox fans that told the other Sox fans to calm down.
I usually sit in the box seats, it might be different in the bleachers. But the folks at Fenway have made a huge effort to shut down the abuse that was prevalent in the past.
I saw a guy just walking through a section at Fenway wearing a Yankees hat and almost every fan in the area stood, pointed and chanted “Yankees Suck!” at the dude. This was at a Red Sox / Rays game. Why the idiot thought a Yankees hat would be a good idea, we’ll never know. There was no violence and the hat wearer laughed it off.
Concur. I have seen fans of other teams in Yankee Stadium trying to pick a fight. Rarer, I’ve seen drunk Yankee fans looking to pick a fight with an opposing fan.
