I say L.A. has the worst sports fans

[jdots]

The crowd at a Boston Pops concert has more fun

1. Dude

They're hardcore about their Lakers. I see it every year even though I don't really give a crap.

[jdots]

6. they do go nuts for the lakers

but you have to be a movie star to afford tickets

[GRLMGC]

8. Good seats

My friend's dad gets free tickets sometimes. One time, he got to sit in the skybox and he bought a 45 candy apple which he didn't have to pay for just because he could.

2. You're Right, With One Exception

which is the crowd at USC football games. I hate 'em (went to Cal), but you gotta give it up to them -- they support their team.

And when they're good, like now, the crowd at the Coliseum is AWESOME.

(There's a reason why their victory march is called "Conquest", goddamnit.)

3. MMMMMMMMM, Lakers Riot.......

Anybody get a kick out of that famous example of poor-sportsmanshit?

[rwenos]

5. Laker Fans are Thugs

Sorry, I think the Laker fans are frontrunners and thugs. Any excuse to raise hell. Only reason why they're idealized in the media is the Hollywood faces that go to the games.

Staples Center is about big money, sex, drugs and rock and roll. As are the Laker crowd.

4. US fans have nothing on European or South American soccer fans.

I mean, two Central American countries went to war over a soccer game, the British "soccer hooligans" make even the L. A. fans look like wimps.

[jdots]

9. ever read the book Amoungst the Thugs ? n/t

[Archae]

10. Never heard of it.

Is it about the "Soccer Hooligans?"

[jdots]

14. yes it's a really good book ( amoungst the thugs)

a guy goes underground with the soccer punks and learns about mass hysteria

[sasquatch]

12. When Germany and France play each other the fans try to kill each other

The English fans are consistintly bad all the time

[Kellanved]

20. I wouldn't call Hooligans "fans"

The thing seems to be somewhat under control now, though.

7. LA crowd aren't sports fans

It is entertainment, dates, to be seen, and business. It has nothing to do with the the team or the sport. However I can't say I mind all the great looking babes wandering up and down the aisles as if it was some kind of a half assed runway.

BTW, Bonpane is a TCO icon. The time he upturned the desk on Wally George was absolutely all time great. I have followed his programs commentary since the beginning! Regards!

11. this nothing to do with this

Ed Asner and Blase are like twins

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

13. Have you ever been in Dodger Stadium when its rocking?

Believe me they love their Dodgers.

[rwenos]

15. Come Late, Leave Early

Maybe once or twice a year, in the rare year the Dodgers are in it, the Dodger Stadium crowd "rocks."

Generally, they sleep.

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

18. I lived in CA in the 70's when the Reds and Dodgers

were fighting it out for the NL west every year(yes,Cincy used to be in NL West when there were only 2 divisions in each league)....the place literally rocked. Of course the place doesn't rock when they aren't doing well. Very few fans will support a loser in any city. Its the Laker fans that always got the rap...come late,leave early until they started winning all the time.

[jdots]

17. last game i went to at Dodger stadium was slaughter

the Dodgers kicked the other team,s ass so bad that everyone left early,the lakers games are full of shit and now they have the staples dumps with the special classy sections you can't go to. IT SUCKS !!!!!!

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

19. I love baseball and sports in general but if its a blow out

I leave early too...ya gotta beat that traffic. How is this any different from any other city. Why would you stay for a blow out? Ya think that makes you some kind of super fan?

[MattP]

16. LA fans

Dodger stadium highest fan attendance in the league and Laker games are always sold out but SC games never sell out the stadium is in the middle of hell.
