Eventually, our fans had such a bad reputation that Eagles fans (like myself) who just wanted to go to games and have a good time with their families were forced to stay home and watch on TV, because we didnt wanna have to deal with the knuckleheads. To be honest, I was one of thousands of people who felt this way.
There was never any gang connections here, just bad management and knuckleheads.
In recent years, fan behavior has become much better due to the new stadium, but occasionaly the knuckleheads come out in full for certain games (Normally Primetime Games) and act stupid.
I can contend, that our fanbase is the most misrepersented and misunderstood fanbase in all of sports.
