The media exaggerates the behavior of the fans a bit out of proportion. I can attest it is still rowdy at the Linc but some of the ugly behavior of years past at the Vet hasn't been apparent this season. The fans are passionate and wear their hearts on their sleeves. This year, the worst I've seen has been some verbal abuse directed at some visiting fans and most of it was good natured ribbing.

Last year when I went to the Eagles/Chicago Bears (Champlaign) and agains this year when I went to the Eagles Miami game, I was ribbed as well. I've got no issue taking "good natured" heat at a visiting stadium.

I've been to about 20 other stadiums in the NFL in my lifetime. There are incidents at every game. The hooligans in Philly are a small minority.
