I only have ONE experience from Dodger stadium. It's the only game I've been to, and I was unimpressed with the fans. Regardless of whether or not you think it SHOULD, the incidents last night were, FOR ME, reminiscent of some past experiences at RES. At no point in time did I conclude that all Dodger fans and yewt fans are "drunken boors." I merely concluded that there have been individuals in both venues that behaved in a very similar fashion. |

I have been to several games at RES probably more than most BYU fans and as many as most Utefans. I have gone up there in all brown to cheer for Wyoming, all Green for CSU and all Blue for BYU and Airforce. However i have never had any huge incidents until this past year.
At the BYU-Utah game this past year after Harline caught the ball we ran down from the top towards the concourse and were jumping up and down on the concourse cheering when a guy threw a soda at us and it hit the old lady in front of us. Then as we stood on the railing getting ready to rush the field we had more things flung at us. I didnt mind i dont think anything could have ruined that moment. Overall i would say utefans are good fans and they are just very passionate about their team and like most people hate to lose. However when you mix alcohol with that passion things happen. I know you cant drink in the stadium but a lot of people do.

Every time. Of course it's with the very small minorities of fans mind you. Everytime I'm up at Rice-Eccles...I hear "F BYU" everytime whether they're playing BYU or not. Of course this isn't just Yewt "fans" who say that either. When I was down at Thomas & Mack Center for the MWC Bball tournament I heard "F**K BYU" dozens of times. You just learn to tune it out and not let it bother you. Every time. And I've probably been up to Rice Eccles stadium more times than you have in the past 3-4 years. I'm not making it up and BDB isn't one to deliberately lie and make something up to back herself up either. This past game during the 2nd quarter...my brother suddenly yelled. "Ouch...damn!" we turned around and there's a lady holding a ten dollar bill that said and I quote "Some guy just paid me this to come down and kick you." This was right after Eric Weddle threw his touchdown pass. My brother and I just looked at each, laughed and turned back around. We didn't take it seriously, but could have made an issue out of it if we'd wanted too. Like Il Padrino says....fans of both sides of the rivalry engage in bone headed behavior. I do believe that the level of crass and rude behavior up at the U is more mean spirited, because I believe their hatred for BYU is much stronger than the hatred BYU fans have for Utah.

Do you honestly think you could wear Ute gear at a BYU game and not get harassed, the answer is of course no. Everyday I wore Ute gear on campus at BYU I would have someone make a comment about it. There are individuals in your precious LES that behave in the same fashion as the Ute fans and Dodger fans you made comments about. |

Allow me to offer my sincere apologies for the last time a BYU fan screamed the f-word at you for sporting yewt gear at a game, or threw their garbage at you, or flipped you off for it, and my apologies for the last time you got to view a cougar backside at a game. IMO it was entirely uncalled for and they're an embarrassment to the rest of us that try and be decent people. |

I believe he is an A's fan, not sure why except they are the coolest. Man those were fun games to go to as a kid. Loved the bleacher seats.

Their is nothing better on this earth then bleacher seats at an As game they used to be like 3 bucks. I caught a Kirby Pucket homerun ball at a game once.
