Queens keep out visiting fans

Had the same problem in Tampa. As soon as they put a real team on the field, for some reason the locals wanted to go to the games...

I've been watching them since the late 60's...

You really have suffered through hard times!

Remember about 9/10 years back after our division win in the former Lambeau South where 60% of the seats were Packer fans, causing Dilfer to whine up a storm about it? That next year when Bucs tix went on sale, you basically had to be a FL resident to buy them. Unless of course you wanted the nose bleeds, in which a few of those were for sale to fans from other states. Luckily my sister lives in FL and I could continue my annual trek down there for that game. I really do miss Tampa being in our division. That place hands down was the best place to see an away game vs the Pack. Even though you really didn't feel like you were at an away game with all the Packer fans there

About half a dozen years ago, Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren had a fit during home game in Seattle against the Packers. The majority of the fans in the seats were Packer fans! Up until a few years ago, Seattle did not really embrace the Seahawks which made tickets easily available. Packer fans took advantage of this and bought up tickets for the Seahawks-Packers game.

Now that the Seahawks are playing playoff qualifying ball, tickets are much more difficult to get.

I was there. I would say it was about 35% Packer fans. THe thing is, they were all wearing big wedges of cheese on their heads. SO looking at the crowd, all you saw were the cheese heads. We were also much more vocal. When Reggie got hurt and wasn't moving, though, the place got so quiet you could here a pin drop. When he got up - everyone cheered. Classy fans in Seattle.
