Tony, please tell me that you are not trying to make excuses for the fans.
Brenda Warner...I worry about her...
IIRC, there is no more Eagles Court...I don't think it was brought over to the Linc. From what I've seen and heard, things seemed better this year in terms of rowdy fans. I would think that higher ticket prices and PSLs helped with that. But you're still going to have a few fucking idiots in the mix.
There are certainly bad football fans in other cities...Cleveland and New Orleans come to mind. But you tend to hear about Philadelphia fans the most--even before I moved here.
In St. Louis, when there is poor play, some fans just tend to get apathetic. When the football Cardinals decided to leave town in '88, in the end, I don't think many people cared. The team has a legacy of sucking ass...and it's not like the move to the desert has helped them much.
I think the biggest problem St. Louis ever had fan-wise was in the late 90s during a baseball Cardinals game. Mark McGwire got thrown out of a game...why I don't know...and the fans responded by throwing cups and what not on the field at Busch Stadium. Highly unusual...I hadn't seen anything like it before and haven't since.
