As the title says.
Just scoping out if anyone here has been to the Linc when the Hawks were there. I've been there as a neutral fan, but never with a rooting interest, and the fans were pretty rabid, not gonna lie.
I shouldn't even have to ask this but has anyone been there and had a negative experience because you were repping Seahawks gear? I'm sitting a couple of rows behind the Hawks bench and I'm really not trying to draw crazy attention to myself, I just wanna enjoy the game.
I was at the Vet in 1989 with a small group, the fans there were totally cool on the way in, joking around and all that but once the drinks were down, they were relentless trolls.
Two of the guys in our crew were like a nightmare to be with at football games, it was like saying "BeetleJuice" 3 times. They were bad at the home games in the Kingdome and eventually Seahawks Stadium removed them permanently after MNF 2004 vs. Dallas (a loss) I was ashamed to be with them but they were like a train wreck you just had to see.
It was those two, we will call them Flotsam and Jetsam that made the trip SOOOOO much more entertaining. A very drunk Eagles fan grabbed Flotsam's Seahawks' jacket from the row behind him, it was pretty hot outside so I do not know why he just HAD to bring that coat (to trigger Eagles' fans) There was no discussion, it was a melee bout in which two people somehow took on a dozen that had the high ground and before you knew it it was like the entire section was being knocked over, vendors, security and yes, police. In the end, botrh Flotsam and Jetsam were taken away, we had no idea how to find them and some locals explained that they were being held in the stadium "jail". Sure enough they were there and were released without incident and Flotsam got his jacket back. I heard much later that the fans were so bad that they actually had a JUDGE working there on Sundays to process those fans who needed it. I suppose all the stadiums have some sort of holding area but I never saw one until the Vet. It was a good thing too because the Eagles KILLED us.
