I second this thought. I can sit up in the Terrace, and roar for my team, without being a jerk to visiting fans, come a way a winner, and have more fun. Those visiting fans are spending money, helping ensure the survival of my favorite city, and hopefully I can visit their stadium & not get snowballed. I want them to visit Lousiana, and have a great time, except that their team loses, and next year, when they're budgeting road games, we're #1 on their itinerary. Also, I like the way fans
in other cities not in our division seem to like us. I'd like to keep it that way.

"But they do it to us" is a sorry excuse. Ever notice how every city's fans are extra motivated when their team plays Philly or the Raiders? I'll bet if you asked their players, they would say, "We like all the yelling and rowdiness, but wish our fans would reel in the over-the-line behavior."

If we play the Bears in the playoffs, I'm not gonna abuse their fans, but I
might wear some styrofoam "yellow snowballs" just to make a statement about their fans behavior.

Lets be winners in every way.
