Can’t wait for opening day. Got tickets and tailgate parking. I found a huge Dolphins support group that’s having a rally the day before. If you’re in the area come by the day before for the rally. See you at the game.
I'm very wary to see a game in DC, PHI or BAL. The fan bases have a bad reputation for treatment of visiting fans. I'm probably going to try to catch a game in Pittsburgh in the next few years.
I wasn't hassled at all at MetLife. Agreed about Philly. Can't speak to the other two per the NFL. I went to see the Hurricanes @Maryland, and @Pittsburgh. The fans at Maryland were infinitely more rude and obnoxious. Had beer thrown on me walking into the stadium. Pittsburgh- no hassling at all and the city and stadium are very nice.
I grew up just South of Pittsburgh. Those guys absolutely love football and they love their Steelers, but they also generally respect and expect that everyone else loves their own teams too. My dad doesn't like team sports and so I didn't have anyone pointing me in a certain direction, so I attached myself to the Fins as a kid because they were my favorite color and animal, but I'm basically a Dolphins fan in the body/heart of a Pittsburgh fan, if that makes sense.
I live just outside of Philly and would never go see the Fins play the Eagles here. Philly fans’ reputation is well deserved.
DC fans have a long reputation of being total babies when they're losing. They'll report away fans that are doing nothing wrong to security and have them removed from the stadium. Even if they're just quietly sitting there and clapping.
Former Allentown resident that has seen his fair share of Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies games. Yes...The Philly crowd can be tough, but they are also extremely passionate about their teams. Problem is, they turn all bipolar the minute things don't go well. I can't remember the last player from any of their teams that survived their entire career there. With that being said, Carolina was the worst experience of my life in terms of going to games. Nashville when we played the Titans was my best experience. The people up there were incredibly nice.
I've only been to Charlotte once, but the home fans were very welcoming. And there was a massive contingent of Fins fans. Walking out after the win felt like a home game with the energy and cheers.
Well that's because we won. The game I went to in Charlotte was a few years back. It was a MNF game and we got curb stomped in that game. I also had to deal with a drunk Panther fan that came with me that night. He was downright awful to be around so maybe that's why it sucked? I mean the stadium itself was amazing. It was hands down the nicest stadium I'd ever been to. But...I had a much better time at the Bengals stadium than I did Carolina's and the Cincy stadium is about 30 years out of date.
I did. I went to St. Joe’s and the Sixers used to practice in our gym. We were sitting on a bench one time after playing basketball and Dr. J came out and said “What’s up, fellas?” We were freaking out, lol. Moses Malone was a mountain of a man, but was always nice to us.
I saw Dr. J play the Kentucky Colonels. I was very young, but remember him being amazing. That game had him, Dan Issel, Louie Dampier, and Artis Gilmore. Some serious talent in that game.
As the No. 5 and No. 6 overall picks in the 2020 draft, quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert will always be linked and compared to one another. Through three seasons, Herbert has been more durable and Los Angeles has committed to him by signing him to a lucrative second contract. Tagovailoa has a better winning percentage, but injuries have prevented him from playing a full season. The Dolphins picked up his fifth-year option but are hot committed to him beyond 2024. With the Dolphins beginning the season in Southern California against the Chargers, Tagovailoa was asked on Wednesday if he ever finds himself thinking about the comparison between himself and Herbert. “No,” Tagovailoa said in his press conference. “Justin is a totally different player than me. Justin can throw the deep balls as far as anyone in this league. There’s things that Justin does that I look at and [say], ‘Oh my gosh.’ Sometimes you can’t help but fan over those plays. “But we’re just different in our styles and who we are as football players. Got a tremendous amount of respect for him. And, yeah, it’s him going against our defense and our offense going against their defense.” Herbert came out ahead in last year’s December matchup between the two quarterbacks. Los Angeles’ signal-caller was 39-of-51 passing for 367 yards with a touchdown in that 23-17 victory. Tagovailoa had his worst outing of the season, finishing just 10-of-28 for 145 yards with a TD. “First off, they had a great game plan for us last year,” Tagovailoa said. “It was tough to get things started in basically the first half and then trying to move on from that in the game, trying to get a rhythm going offensively. But you’ve got to tip your hats to their coaches, their coaching staff, they’re well coached. They took a lot of things away that we would normally run and things that we felt comfortable doing. So, hats off to them. “But like I said, really excited. This is going to be a good game.” Sunday’s contest will be the third matchup between Tagovailoa and Herbert and each QB has a victory. When they were rookies, Miami defeated Los Angeles 29-21.
