I lived in seattle the last 15 years before moving back to New Mexico after my wife and I split, so yeah Hulka, ive attended every saints game in that time, and I finally got to the point where I will never attend a visitors stadium again. When my brother and I make our rare trips to NO, that's the only time I will ever see the Saints play again, its just not worth the headaches

Well I've been here since 2001 now (originally from Arabi, LA) and have made every Saints game when they come to town. While the fan behavior isn't always the best (sore losers for sure), it's NOTHING compared to the treatment at S.F. playoff game. Even the old guy stadium seating person kept running up to us giving us crap each time S.F. did something. I always had a healthy respect for Frank Gore, Pat Willis, and some of the other players, but after that experience, they are right up there with Atlanta. Absolutely the WORST experience at a game I've ever been to.

Wow!!!! When we went thru. San Fran we had a GREAT exp. The fans were awesome, maybe it was because we had A Brooks and we sucked a-hole

Boy from what I've seen from the 49er fans, the descriptions I'm reading lead me to believe that Seapigeon fans might be even worse.

There's a reason that the Seahawks (or the NFL) had undercover cops dress in visiting teams gear while at games in Seattle. People seemed surprised when they heard about it but it's true, a lot of the fans at that stadium are squids.

I KNEW IT!!!!!!

I'll be there with a bunch of fans from other teams that hate the Seahawks. Should be interesting. During the playoff game I watched as a man told 2 girls under the age of 10 that they he was going to "Finish what Katrina started". Waited till their father was in the washroom. Thankfully when I challenged him a bunch of fans in our section backed me up.

My wife who isn't a football fan but was proudly wearing the black and gold, watched a girl get accosted in the washroom. Almost made me take her out of the stadium in the 3rd quarter. Needless to say she will be staying in Vancouver for this one!

I attended a game in Seattle last season and the fans are pretty fanatical to say the least. There were a couple of opposing team fans in our section that got completely disrespected for absolutely no reason. I think you can almost count on having a hard time if you're wearing Saints colors!

I think you folks are overreacting just a wee bit. If you just remember whose house you're in and don't act like jerks, you should be fine. Oh sure, you might run into a drunk home team fan who wants to be a tough guy, but the same thing could happen at any stadium, even the Superdome, ...especially the Superdome.
