Aikman added that for "a large part -- and the fans don't want to hear this -- a lot of of the people that attend sports in this town, they're there because it's of just a place to be seen" and that "I didn't know anybody who went to Rangers games, then when they started winning and going to World Series, everybody's wearing Rangers hats..."

Yep, fans here in Dallas are usually casual frontrunners/bandwagon folks. Steelers, Ravens, Saints, Jets, Eagles etc fans are loud for their team win or lose. We have better crowds for our team in places like Seattle or Kansas City more so than Dalllas, which is sad.

There are rabid fans in the DFW area, I can vouch for that. I cover high school sports, and trust me, they have rowdy fans. Apparently those fans don't attend the Cowboy games.

Well i mean if it's for their kid's high school club or their alma mater then that's expected. However you don't usually see the passion for professional clubs unless the club is winning see: Rangers for the past couple of years, Mavericks back in '06, '07.

They are a special case though.

what I get tired of is all the crying and the stamping of tiny little feet,,, Cowboys Stadium has been relatively "quiet" like that for 40+ years, it doesn't appear that they are going to change,,, folks from that area just don't get all frenzied and drunk and scream themselves hoarse. I wouldn't call that snobbish, I would call it "reserved".

Do the liquor laws in Irving and Arlington prevent Cowboys' fans from being sufficiently Iggles like?

....when this team is winning it gets loud....very loud defening loud.

People here aren't reserved they are simply prudes and dam well proud of that fallacy.

The year that I lived in Dallas (to freaking hot for me), one Sunday a friend of mine and I and two girls were taking me to some lake to cliff dive.

Well, because I did not have any swim trunks, I said let's just stop and buy some scissors and I will just cut off the legs of my Levi's for swim trunks.

But, because of the Blue Laws they would not sell me scissors!

We went to some other county over, and we could buy beer, but not ice or a styrofoam cooler! And, no scissors!

WTH?

It's sad that we don't even have a home field advantage at all. Other teams love to come to our stadium for road games because there is barely in noise when they are calling out their plays. Aikman is 100% correct.

I made a sign for games that reads, "worst home crowd in the NFL. Stand up and make some freaking NOISE!"

Been to several games at Texas Staduim....during the SB years.....it was loud....went in 2007, it was a joke, too quiet....have been to Jerruh World 3 times in the last 2 years, pathetic!... I live in Zona and when I went to the Cowboys/Zona game a couple of years ago, I was a minority, the same thing happened when I visit Jerruh world....

Troy is right and he was not dissing anybody but telling the truth

Hell, hand out rattles for the kids! Most of them are doing something else, at least make some noise!

Hand out free trumpets to all the men so they could make noise!

Let the ladies do their thing...give a free microphone to the ladies? You want noise....?

But, the team needs to do their job...bottom line.

To be honest, I consider the South and anything on the west coast to either be college sports towns or cities that don't care about sports that much.

There is no denying the fact that Cowboy's lack a home field advantage.. but I honestly don't believe that hinders the team.

People are so silly.

Thee truth is, we have no home field advantage. So when people complain about Jerry selling tickets to opposing team fans willingly, why not?

Yeah because a stadium full of cowboys fans will make a difference. At least opposing teams fans make the stadium seem less dead.
