Literally an article from 12 years ago. That's one instance in over 1500 sporting events.

You said nobody, but there's a reason Washington fans bring it up. Because it happened, and it happened to one of our own.

lol, as soon as he wrote that I knew someone would bring that up. As another Philly fan, we like to say he's from Jersey and a degen. In a playoff/busier atmosphere I like to think he'd have been shoved and pushed out of there by other Eagles fans because what he did was pretty f'ing heinous. I don't know why the stadium staff didn't kick him out with his friend (prior to his forced vomiting) who must have been doing equally pathetic crap - usually the group or pair is punished in that situation. I'd definitely been yelling at him to get the hell out if he was cursing a bunch of vile stuff at a young girl.

I've only been to one game at the Linc - my brothers; however, went to the NFC Championship game in '04. IIRC correctly, the worst they saw was a trash can be put on top of someone's head. I think over the years it's become more tame as the old 700 level hooligans from Veterans Stadium started to disappear.

Let’s start talking about some other cities (looking at you, Boston).
