I was just a young kid back then but I think you are correct. Just an ornery sports crowd back in those days.

Occasionally there is a relapse in Philly....
From USA Today 2010-04-16
<<Philadelphia has always been known for having tough crowds, but bad fan behavior there may have hit a new low at a Phillies game this week. There, a 21-year-old fan allegedly vomited intentionally on the 11-year-old daughter of an off-duty cop.
"It was the most vile, disgusting thing I've ever seen, and I've been a cop for 20 years," Easton Police Capt. Michael Vangelo told the Philadelphia Daily News.
Vangelo said he complained to security about cursing and spitting by Clemmens and a friend. When the friend was escorted out of the park, Vangelo said, Clemmens "leaned over and put two fingers down his throat" and then "started vomiting on us."
Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said Clemmens fought with police and "threw up on one officer" before being removed.>>
You do know you're posting on an Iowa Wrestling board right? Why come on here and insult the fan base?
Congratulations...although you might want to rethink it because you will have close to 16,000 assholes yelling instead of just a section...since you have no interest in it. Maybe you can find some PSU fans to sit with because they never call for stalling
My favorite story about the fans in PA is when Franco made the immaculate reception against the Raiders in the AFC championship game. A flag was thrown and the officials were not sure if the play had to be called back. They got together and decided that there was not enough security in the stadium to get the officials out alive if they reversed the call. Just a story. I am not sure if it is totally true, but it sure seems to fit the attitude of PA fans.
Pittsburgh has a statue of Franco making the catch in their airport. Sort of like the Gable start outside CHA. I think PA is a bit crazier as far as fans go or maybe there are just more of them.
Iowa people still have some of that midwestern morals and charm.. They feel bad after they rip someone a new one.

Comparing the two programs from that time is like comparing apples to oranges. Mocco was at Iowa in 2002 and 2003. The Hawks string of 6 straight NCAA Titles had just been snapped in 2001, and it was obvious the program was headed in the wrong direction under Zalesky. Iowa fans were not happy.
Mocco was at Okie State in 2005 and 2006. This was during their run of 4 straight titles. Obviously, their fans were on cloud nine during that time.

Eagle fans are savage (I would not recommend taking anyone under the age of 18 to an eagle game), I have never seen that kind of crap at a phillies or sixers game and have been to dozens of both, I however stopped going to eagle games after 2....but you are correct that Drunk Santa deserved the flack he got from the real story I read about
NFL games are horrible - filled with bellicose, overgrown children wearing jerseys of their heroes and drunk on bad beer. Hence the firefighter put into a coma outside a Niners game, serial cases of drunk dumbasses dying after falling from escalators, etc.
Eagle fans get the press, but there are several fan bases (Raiders in particular), that lead the way in truly violent behavior recently.
The NFL and its franchises could solve many problems by seriously cutting down on the drinking, but advertisers would go crazy.
Fans cheered when Michael Irvin was carted off the field with a career ending injury.
I've seen these boards absolutely crucify your wrestlers- recall one young man some years ago, up a weight class no less, giving his all for the Black and Yellow....getting the bum's rush here and mocking his lack of hair at that.
Seems some of you have a lot of social media guts.....would have loved to seen you say it to his face.
