First Time

[MCCNASTY]

Headed to my first away game this weekend. Any tips on conduct at somebody elses stadium? Drunk and belligerent or calm and humble. Im capable of both.

My first time was on a pool table. 

True Story.

I'll be there... Look for a tall guy wearing panthers flair hair visor in section 139. I've been to Minneapolis twice watching the Panthers. Vikings fans are nice before the game but complete assholes when Vikings win.

I hear mixed things about Vikings tailgating. I love going to other stadiums, so here's my tips:

 

1. Most important, drink socially but do not get drunk. Don't get buzzed if you can help it. A few people are going to try and bait you and you just have to smile and disarm them.

 

2. Make sure people know you traveled to support your team. Most people can respect that.

 

3. Cheer for your team. No need to stand up on Defense every play, it's not helping the team and just annoying people around you. When its 3rd down, cheering loud should be fine, although you will still get some lip about it.

 

4. Never lower yourself to the drunk guys argument. Make sure you take the time to say hi to the people around you and be friendly so when that douche starts trying to call you out, you might get support from the other teams fans around you.

 

5. Tell people how much you like Adrian Petersen and that old Purple People Eater defense. And that you hate the Packers.

 

6. Win or lose, enjoy the experience.

1. Tell them that a true Minnesotan would know the names of at least 5,000 of their 10,000 lakes or so. Give them 5 minutes to name as many as they can.

 

2. Ask them who the idiot was that designed the dome. After all, doesn't everyone know it snows in Minnesota and how do they not know the roof probably shouldn't collapse when it does snow.

 

3. Remind them that Duante Culpepper's career essentially ended in Carolina one Sunday afternoon in 2005 when his LCL, MCL and ACL in one knee were shredded. The line, "I was there for that..." will always win you friends.

We have lower level seats too. Just dont know where. This trip is through the Panthers. Charter flight. Open bar tailgate. Come back sunday night. Should be with a large group of our fans.

I did something like that in 2007 for the season opener, won a charity bid for a charter trip with a lot of the team sponsors though, not a fan trip - to St Louis. Great time, the charter flight was great, the flight attendants were serving free alcohol and snacks en route, there was a bus waiting for us at the ramp..have a blast and take some pictures to share!

Just got back from Minneapolis. Had a hell of a time. Many Panthers fans.
