I dont understand why people pay good money to go to games just to get wasted
hell If they drunk they miss whats going on

Your making to much sense right now.

I got really irritated w/ this guy at the game on Sat as well. He was sober when he sat down but broke out his flask in the 2nd quarter. By the time the second touchdown came around he had to look at his wife and ask what had happened. He could barely stand up. To make matters worse, the more he drank the more beligerant he got. Several families w/ kids had to get up and leave.

where I sell programs at, I see people come by me before the game drunk as owl do do
I am thinking geeze the game hasnt started yet and you wasted.

I don't get drunk at the games...I save my alcohol to throw on the opposing team.

Drunk fans are at every sporting event. It's hard for me to bash them though, because my life was saved by a drunk guy at a hockey game. He was sitting in front of me making an ass out of himself and I'd been laughing at him and making fun of him for most of the game. He had one of those hats on that look like a puck and it said "Puck Head".
His name was Stu and he kept yelling it and getting the fans all riled up.
Anyway, I wasn't paying attention at one point and one of the players hit the puck really hard and it was heading right for my head. Stu snatched the puck out of the air just before it hit me. I never saw it coming. His hand was red and it looked like he might have had a broken bone in his hand because it was stuck in the same position. He laughed it off and said that it would make it easier for him to hold his beer.

When I encounter this problem, especially when there are children present, I confront the person, and if necessary find security to deal with it. Such a lack of consideration for others shouldn't be tolerated. Neither your grandfather nor mine would have allowed some drunken blowhard to act offensively in public and until we start addressing this kind of nonsense it will only get worse.

ITA. If you want to get drunk around other people then make sure you go to a place where EVERYBODY is drunk. Otherwise, you are going to look like an idiot. My favorite saying when I see a coworker after the office party, "You are not nearly as funny as you think you are when you get drunk." Really makes them think. LOL.


RTR!!!!!

I was at a baseball game one time and when the game was over and everyone stood up to leave, the drunk guy sitting behind me asked his friends if it was halftime...lol

I was sitting near a drunk fan in Awbarn once that was smoking and blowing the smoke in the faces of a young boy and his mother. I signaled security and he was escorted away. He was so drunk that one push and he would have fell down the entire flight of stairs.

my bad; I thought this thread was an invitation.

I took a passed out drunk guy's sister and girlfriend to parties on campus in Starkville once after Bama beat Miss Stake. That was a wild night.

Awesome. Hopefully you were out of town by the time he woke up and realized what had happened...lol

Don't confront a drunk. You can't reason with them. That's what security gets paid to deal with. They get to bash a head or two as well, so they get their jollies.


Recall going to Sixers games in the 70's at the Spectrum. Dudes behind us were toking away so much that the whole section had a second hand buzz. Looked for the rent-a-cops. They were all down at the first row, upper level, watching the game. Made the Sixers refund my remaining tickets.

I'm sure Daryl Dawkins didn't mind a little smoke in the building...lol
