I'm going to be moving to Central PA soon for school and I was just wondering what your experiences are with going to the stadiums for our divisional rivals. I am used to being a visiting fan I have done it for my teams many times before, but... our rivalries are slightly worse than most, so going to a Penguins game in Arizona just doesn't compare lol. So are any of the stadiums worth going to in a Cowboys uniform?

P.S. Yes I know not Philly, but I figured I should add it to the question anyway.

FedEx is very safe. It's usually 40% Cowboys fans anyways

This.

Born and raised in the DC area. Typically it’s 2-1 Dallas fans to Washington

They will hassle you like any drunkards, but all in good clean fun

FedEx is as tame and benign as an NFL stadium gets. You don't want to be walking around outside the stadium at night, but the game experience is fine.

The Meadowlands is just your run of the mill angry New Yorkers. If you're ok with getting called a MFer it's nothing too bad.

Philly can be genuinely unsafe. Fistfights are projectiles are not uncommon.

And yes, I've been to all three.

CowboysZone DIEHARD Fan
Wash - NY then Philthy, in that order. There are plenty of fellow fans in each stadium, just don't act like a drunken idiot and all will be fine.

Piece of advice, if your car has Dallas gear on it like a decal or hitch......rent a car for the day if going to PA. I once had my headlights bashed in on a previous car many years ago. I made the mistake of parking too close to those heathens :muttley:

I went to an Eagles game in Philly and shouted very loud CCOOOOWWBOYSSSZZZ! and no one did or said anything. To get into a fight you really need to be a relentless jerk, getting into peoples faces or throwing things. You don't get assaulted for the shirt you wear.

You will be heckled in any of those stadiums, mostly safe though if you sit anywhere but in the upper deck. Even if you do sit in the upper deck you'll just deal with more rowdy drunk fans, especially in Philly. Which has to be the worst environment for an opposing fan. Still though, outside of spitting, throwing an occasional drink, throwing food, and verbal harrasment not much else will happen if you keep to yourself.
