Dallas - Rivalry Game

[reese125]

Are you seriously defending yourself?

Christ-the game was done, it was cold as farg, traffic blows--go home. Nobody to impress here.

[SunMo]

it's the internet, i must impress them all

[Sgt PSN]

i leave early all the time, as long as the game is not in doubt i'm all about missing traffic

Inexcusable.  Post game tailgate until the traffic dies down. 

nope, unlike most of you, i have a job with actual real responsibility and meaning and when a game doesn't get over until midnight, i still have to be a work at 8am to do my job.

Sorry chief, but I went to probably a dozen games in 05/06 and was driving about 10 hours from the game straight to NC to go to work the next day at 730 am and didn't leave early (The Tenn game being the lone exception).  So I'm not going to have a lot of sympathy for your 90 minute commute.   

You will stay for the entire game or you can go live in MA. 

[SunMo]

staying for the entire game is MA.

it's something st. louis cardinal fans would do.

Traffic after an Eagles game depends on two things, where you park and if you know what the hell you're doing.

Since SB was obviously parked near Havas and I know exactly where Havas parks, I don't know what the problem was.  Not that I ever strolled right out after a game, but I could get from the lot to 95 in probably a half hour, give or take a few.  Always seemed pretty reasonable. 

Getting out of FedEx was awful and I stayed in the parking lot for a good hour or so after the game too.  Farg that.

I usually park in C 6 along the fence adjacent to Broad. There are two ways to get back to 95. Once you exit the one closest to 95, stay in the right (every one bunches in the left two lanes) then whip around through the light and stay right. Then stay right still and merge (everyone still bunches left). The other option is the far gate where the Spectrum used to be, that gate is sometimes hard to get out of (wasn't last night). You just cross over broad and stay right till you get onto 95. Didn't take us long to get out of there last night, especially considering a lot of the crowd bled out through the 3rd and 4th quarter.

Are you seriously defending yourself?

Maybe it was my level of intoxication but it wasn't cold at all last night. The temperature might have read 40 but there was no wind. I walked into the stadium with jacket and gloves on then took them off once I got to my seat.

On a bad day, it takes me 20 minutes to get onto 95S. And i stay to the end.

Last night I got caught in a line of yahoos who didn't know what to do, and it added 5 minutes to my time. still, things moved along reasonably well.

[Rome]

When I lived in Jersey I rarely stayed until the end unless it was close.   Whenever I go to a game now, whether it's in Philly or on the road, I stay till the end.  I would rather sit comfortably in my seat for 20 minutes until the crowd files out, then take another 20 minutes to let the last of the traffic wind down, then leave the area in a leisurely pace.   

I will say that night games I'm more apt to leave early because I've undoubtedly been partying all day (and usually the Friday & Saturday before) and as a result I'm generally worn out altogether.

Oh, and yesterday was the first game I can remember where (1) I didn't have a sip of booze beforehand and (2) I listened to the broadcast from start to finish.  Thank God they won because television broadcasts are horrendous beyond words.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I never understood the need to leave early to beat the traffic. If I was that afraid of traffic, I'd just stay the hell home and save a bunch of money. I paid for the game, and I'll see the whole damned thing.

Then again, if the weather sucks, and it's pretty uncomfortable, I'll start heading out after the two minute warning.

[hbionic]

lol at staying til the end of a blowout.

farging retards.

and hbionic, i leave early when the game is over...not get to a baseball game in the 3rd inning you west coast douche.

What are you talking about? What is over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Exactly.

[rjs246]

You're all farging idiots.

[DH]

I got cuffed by an undercover in a TO jersey 5 minutes before kickoff - fun times. I gave the guy shtein because he told me he's never been to Texas Stadium and 10 seconds later, 6 cops swarm and I'm cuffed.

I'm no lawyer, but theres got to be something illegal with having undercover cops, wearing opposing jerseys, instigating with fans, with the hopes of getting some added city revenue. I'm all for them being there - but handle the people that need to be handled; not the ones who are just having some fun.

Dicks.

[ice grillin you]

same thing happened to one of my seatmates before the san fran game....altho im sure he was much more belligerent than you its still all bullshtein....they should not be speaking to you at all or its entrapement as far as im concerned...if you walked up to a dallas fan and dumped a beer on their head fine...but cuffing people for standard shtein talking btwn fans?....thats outrageous

btw i was tellin sunny in our seats that i was never more proud of eagle fans than i was sunday night for how few dallas fans i saw

[DH]

but cuffing people for standard shtein talking btwn fans?

Exactly, and that's all it was. I told the farger too, that I was given 100X worse shtein in Dallas and took it like a man. The whole system is farged.

Oh, and to make it worse - I called the Eagles "guest services" yesterday to complain and I swear I was talking to some farging putz studying PR at Drexel. I hate this organization more and more each week.

[ice grillin you]

i must give credit where credit is due....the improvement at the gate to get in was a million times better and the fastest i can ever remember getting in any game there

I might be able to help you. Not so much with the cop situation but with getting the story out.
