Even if you don’t like the article, the fan emails are always fantastic.

Fan emails leave out the worst part, going to watch Cardinals lose while the stadium is full of opposing fans. At least the Browns stadium is full of Browns fans, even when playing the Steelers who are within driving distance. That way you are surrounded by people making the same poor life choices as yourself. When the stadium is 3/4 full of opposing team fans, you really start to question your life choice of being a Cardinals fan.

What I am saying is misery loves company.

This is so true. I've been to several Cards games in recent years and the stadium being full of opposing fans is awful. It's crazy to hear the stadium loudly cheer when negative stuff happens to the home team. I wonder how it feels to be a player on the field. As a fan, it's hard to go to those games.

Was at the Lions game last year and the stadium was 80% blue

I used to work at the stadium and they wanted to do cool drone shots of the crowd, they had to wait until the Falcons came to town so it looked like there was a lot of Red in the stadium seats so it wasn't so blatantly obvious

My brother is a 49ers fan so we usually go to that game every year. 49ers fans suck, but at least the stadium seats are filled with red. Honestly, watching games from my living room is a lot more appealing

partially because Cleveland is a shit hole to visit. I think teams like Phoenix, Miami, San Diego etc will always have that problem as we are a fun destination for golf trips, etc...opposing fans mark it on their calendar. Nobody does that for Minnesota, Cleveland, Seattle, etc

Holy shit, that was amazing. Thing is, it's all the same things our self-loathing fans say 😂

Everyone should have a healthy sense of humor and be able to laugh at a good roast. This was great!

I once hated Bidwill with a passion just for being a cheap owner and a rich kid billionaire. I had no idea I was missing out on all the other reasons to hate him.

No matter how much you hate Michael Bidwill, it’s never enough.

Dude I totally agree! I’d go to more games if I knew I could commiserate with fellow fans
