Cowboys Fans in Dallas SUCK

[WV Cowboy]

Other than an occasional false start, .. do the fans actually change anything at an NFL game anyway?

Having never been to a Cowboys game at TS, .. I would love to sit with the "quiet Dallas Fans" just once !!

I live in Chicago and go to Texas once a year for a game and I notice the same thing. I also hopefull the new stadium will solve this problem. I'm going to the Bears v. Cowboys game at soldier field in a couple weeks and I can assure you I will be harrassed the entire game.

haha nice i also live in chicago now and i might be going to the game as well! my cuz works at some big time company here and she always gets free tickets for big games and im talking just about front row tickets!!! i will be wearing my Owens jersey and trust me im expecting the worst too but there should be plenty of Cowboys fans at the game so we wont be alone!

a loud stadium causes teams to go to the silent count which can give a big advantage to the pass rusher.

hopefully they tuned the acoustics of the new stadium to be loud on the field.

Meh. I'm at every game and my section gets after it. All I can say, go to games at Fed Ex if they are so great.

I like our civilized and classy fans at Dallas sporting events.

We aren't a bunch of ******** mooks like in Washington and Philly. Getting drunk and yelling curse words all game is an embarassment. I enjoy games much more when I am surrounded by classy fans.

They make enough noise. No, they aren't insane like the PWT in other stadiums who holler like it is the Second Coming (except more in a drunken slur).

Screw being abrasively loud. Next thing you know you are throwing batteries at players.

Being loud and acting like an idiot at a sporting event are two different things. Those calling for noise to distract the opposing team and pump up the home team aren't calling for cursing or heaven forbid, throwing batteries. Philly and more recently NYJ fans are known for acting like idiots at games, but that's not what we're calling for here. Too bad i'm stuck north of the hell hole known as Philly.

I was at a Cowboys playoff game and it was quite. I was pretty suprised. I am hoping the new stadium will help. Go to a Bills game. I am not a Bills fan, but I love going. I can't wait to go to the Bills vs. Cowboys. Should be fun.

Just got back from the game. I live in Maryland and made my first trip down to Texas stadium to see our season opener. Now I have heard stories about how quiet so to speak Texas stadium is - so I was going to the game already with low expecations but WOW I must say I was and still am thoroughly dissapointed. Sitting there watching the game at Texas stadium and we are americas team and we literally dont even have a home field advantage.

The fans dont even make much noise in obvious situaions like 3rd downs for the giants. Cowboy fans dont even talk trash to opposing teams fans - I mean sheesh they are NOT supposed to be welcome in our house. Now by no means am I saying we should physically harrass these people but there is nothing wrong with giving them a little crap. Like I said earlier I live in MD and I go to Fed ex every year to catch the skins boys games and I go in expecting to get verbally harrassed by other fans. I hate to say it but frickin fed ex field ROCKS and when I say rocks I literally mean ROCKS - like the stadium shakes. Now albeit they have over 91,000 fans and Texas stadium only holds about 65,000 - so hopefully when we open our new stadium it will be better. At least I can hope. Am I reaching here or are the added 15-20k of fans not going to make a difference? Because I feel this is our only hope.

I know this has been covered before because I have read posts concerning it but even expecting it to be quiet it was still surprising how bad our so called home field advantage is. Someone please help us fix this or give me reason for hope because if you ask me , if we can get our new stadium to rock it will be a HUGE advantage to our dallas cowboys.

Pretty much what I say every season. Most of the "fans" suck. When the Giants had the ball on their own 20 (right in front of me) I went o pull out my airhorn to try and cause a false start. I had one guy in an Aikman jersey sitting next to me say, "You are NOT using an air horn. It's bad enough I have to hear you yell and use a cowbell." I turned to him and unloaded, "You're going to hear this cowbell ALL GAME LONG when we are on defense. You're not a Cowboys fan. You know nothing about strategy. You are a liability to the Cowboys. Do everyone a favor and stay home next time. Watch it on TV or go to the opera!!! An empty seat makes more noise than you!!!" My wife was chuckling, but she could see how pissed I was at the pathetic apathy of the fans. You're 100% right about the fans sucking big time. They disgust me!!! The new stadium is only going to be worse. Higher ticket prices and more seating capacity means more "wine and cheese" patrons who are going to watch a ballet. Unless the Cowboys cheat and pipe-in sound, this new stadium will be much much worse. Just watch America's Game 1971 Dallas Cowboys and see what Duane Thomas had to say about moving from the Cotton Bowl to Texas Stadium.

False starts are the entire purpose. You'll fit in with 80% of the "quiet" stadium crowd. I wish they would all stay home and give their tickets to real fans.

 

[CowboyJeff]

Well, I myself just got back from the game. First time there as well. We were in section 1 and I can tell you the Giants fans there were harassed the whole game. Giant S***S chants were the norm. Could the stadium be a bit more enthusiastic? Sure, but I don't think the fans were sitting on their hands either.

lower level end zone 1 and 36 are the loudest. you got lucky and sat with them. The rest of the stadium is pretty bad. A couple of years ago we actually had someone near us who was knitting. I wanted to shove whatever she was making down her throat.:bang2:

 

[CowboyJeff]

Well, youse guise from the north got it straight, you betcha.
Ah cahn rememba those bee-U-Tee-Full pizza pies up deah. Tha best. Tha best ah tell ya!

Yo Tony!!!! What exit????

 

[CowboyJeff]

it's been a problem for a long time; i don't really understand it......

when i've been at texas stadium, i've screetched 'til i made a spectacle of myself........

Instead of putting them on the field, have one cheerleader responsible for making sure each section makes noise when appropriate. It's sad, but the fans are very sheepish. Problem solved.

 

[CowboyJeff]

thanks for the compliment way to lump us all together.

theebs, you are one of the 20% who busts their butt every game. I sincerely thank you for that!!!

I think you missed his point....he regrets never being fortunate enough to attend a game in Dallas.

 

[CowboyJeff]

Dallas fans have always been noted for the "good show, we expect nothing less than victory" mentality. I think it's healthy, they get emotional during playoff time but the crowd isn't subject to volatile mood swings like Philly and New York or abrasive hate like Oakland and Philly and New York again.

Cowboy fans act like they've done it before, because they have.

They applaud victory but also expect it so don't act with knee jerk emotion or overzealous euphoria after victory.

Landry instilled that and it never left town.

Landry instilled that in 1971?

 

[CowboyJeff]

I think you missed his point....he regrets never being fortunate enough to attend a game in Dallas.

If he's willing to yell his butt off every down when we're on defense he can go with me anytime!!!!

I was at the game and posted a message about how suprisingly loud he crowd was. I was expected fans who sit with their legs crossed while eating grey poupon. But what I found was a crowd that was every bit as loud as any Eagles game I have been too. Maybe the original poster was seated in the rafters unable to know what was going on close to the field because it was loud especially when Giants had the ball.

 

[CowboyJeff]

I'll take the more passive Texas style than the drunken ludeness/rudeness in other stadiums...those other fans aren't my enemy they have their reasons for liking the team of their choosing...I don't need to pour beer on them and call them or their team names...I am not into barbaric behavior nor should it be supported...It is not in the name of fun so don't bring that lame game here...it is inexcusable behavior.

Those people who support violence or rude and obnoxious behavior should be permanently banned from attending any public place without police escort...

Now cheering your favorite team on to victory is fine and expected but keep the barbaric behavior out of it....more power to the fans of Dallas

I'll leave them both. Passionate and sober is the way I like it. Not many good decisions are made while intoxicated, and not many false starts are caused while being quiet.
