Say what you want about BOA Stadium being quiet, unintimidating, and too friendly, but at least we don't have to worry about getting stabbed before, during or after the game.

"Who the hell carries a knife with them to a football game?"
Translated: "What good does it do to stand in line for 30 minutes waiting to be searched before entering the stadium when some other moron can bring a knife?"

NRA response: "If the Second Amendment were being upheld and protected in this country, this stabbing would not have occurred. It would have been a shooting instead."

Couple years ago my wife and I attended a game in Atlanta, stayed at a very nice hotel near the Ritz-Carlton, ate at a couple very nice restaurants...spent the weekend and drove home Monday. Spent a couple thou in their city. The Panthers got whipped that day and the wife and I were heckled, had bottles thrown at us, cursed as we were leaving. We never spoke a word to anyone, just minding our own business. I wasn't wearing any colors, but the wife had a jersey on. Regardless, we always traveled to a couple away games every season, that was the last trip. And now look at us a few years later... we're not even traveling to Charlotte.

This isn't the first time a 49er fan has done this.... Didn't one kill a Raider fan at Candlestick Park?

Not sure that's a crime

[dugbug]

Boa and Lucas oil stadium (colts) are well controlled. Colts stadium has continuous security (usher types) walk down each stairwell all the way to the field, turn and face the crowd, then walk back up. Over and over. Where I have sat in boa I never saw that.

cali fans are "loco"

[Cardiackat88]

And some of you people want to arm everybody with the world the way it is...

If you are attacked, like it sounds like this the 49ers fan was, then you have every right to defend yourself the best way you can. If I were attacked (without provoking the attacker) I wouldn't hesitate to pull out my knife if I felt like I were in real danger.

Yes the Falcon fan punched him. But the 49ers fan used a knife and stabbed him. The guy who did the punching will face assault charges. While the guy using the knife will face assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. That guy with the knife will face prison time. Any where from 10+ years. That guy just screwed his own life up over a stupid game. LOL While the guy doing the punching will just get with a stab womb and 100 hours of communtiy service. People need to learn to walk away or at least fight back with your fist and not a stupid weapon. To many people out here to day are pussies. Got to grab a knife becaue they can't take an ass kicking. LOL

Well that's not how the law works at all. Essentially the man who used a knife acted in self defense, and will very likely not face any charges.

Of course, there are scenarios where this wouldn't be the case. If the Falcons fan punched him and had then turned and walked away before the 49ers fan chased him down to stab him - then the guy might face some charges. But if it was an act and react type situation, then it's self defense.

Yep, knives are for pansies. Real men here in the Carolinas carry guns.

I think that falcons fan got the point.

are we sure this is a bad thing???

[TheRumGone]

are we sure this is a bad thing???

I grew up in the Bay Area....This should have been the other way around. My father wouldn't bring us to Raiders games because the fans are bat poo fuging crazy. 49ers fans on the otherhand were pleasant from what I remember. But it was nice growing up watching Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice, so maybe thats why they weren't violent fans.

esp. if you were surrounded by drunk and pissed fans who's dreams had just been shattered by the team whose jersey you were wearing.

you don't know if mob mentality was going to kick in and all of a sudden you become a punching and kicking bag for 5-10 irrational drunk and pissed fans.

you've got to nip it in the bud. self defense. you don't know how bad it's going to be, so you do something drastic to keep the potential increased attack less attractive.

i doubt the guy with the knife gets anything more than a slap on the wrist, nor should he. he was attacked and protecting yourself is allowed, esp. when you don't know the strength of your attacker(s).

see if everyone was armed someone could've just fired into the crowd at this guy and prevented it

I'm with Rayzor on this one. Watch the King of the Hill episode where Hank takes Bobby to his first Texas Longhorn game. Hank and the guys are sitting in a guest suite that is reserved for a Nebraska celebrity/coach. The HC on the field calls the suite with seconds left in the game asking for advice. Hanks tells Nebraska to punt the ball with seconds left in the game. This results in a touchdown and Nebraska wins. Trying to escape an angry Texas mob, the guys get harassed and are careful not to become the victim of some crazy mob beatings. Point is, some of those fans are drunk and bat-poo nuts after a loss. When I was stationed in Oklahoma City, I witnessed all sorts of violence from Sooner and Longhorn fans. This one old dude even got his balls cut off. No joke.
