I know it's written from the Charger's point of view, so I wanted to see if the things said within were true. So Raiders fans, defend you beloved team.

Things like this happen in every rivalry. Home team fans, for whatever reasons, sell their tickets, and the visiting fans wind up with a lot of them. I've been to several Orioles-Yankees games at Camden Yards when there were almost as many NY fans in the stands as there were O's fans. It's disheartening to see people sell their tickets to the other team's fans, but there's really nothing that can be done about it.

 

Also, keep in mind a lot of the season tickets that get sold are owned by businesses -- who basically dangle them in front of clients and reward employees for doing well -- or businessmen, who see the game as an outing to mingle with fellow members of the arts & croissants crowd. There are a lot of "fans" who spend much of the game on their cell phones or otherwise distracted from the game they ostensibly came to watch.

I don't know why Raider fans even want to go to this game.

 

They had a stadium FULL of Raiders fans the first time they played this season and the team still lost.

I hate going to games where the road team is just as popular.

 

I went to a Blue Jays game at Skydome where the Yankees were the home team it seemed like.

 

At a Leafs v. Wings game a lot ofans were concentrating on the game and not making too much noise so a huge 'Let's Go Red Wings' chant broke out. I just hate that.

 

It should be noted that I have gone to many games where I cheered for the visiting team

The part i find disturbing is that Chargers fans seem fearfull of their safety when they go to this game.
