for the fans at the game yesterday
- Thread starter miami23
- Start date
There were atLEAST 10 to 15 thousand dolphin fans . . . they were everywhere. The tailgating parking lots probably were 2 to 1, jags to fins . . . which IMO is AMAZING. We were walking back to the car . . . it almost looked 50/50 . . .everytime we see a jags fan that we ragged on . . . we saw a Dolphins fan that we high fived. The only time the Jags got hype is when we turned the ball over and anytime they got a first down they kept doing that fake Seminole "move the chains" chant. The Dolphin fans seemed louder for the most part.

I was definitely the loudest fan inn my area, followed closely by 3 or 4 fin fans behind me. the jags were definitly drowned out. it was probably a 40-60 ration overall though.
my voice is junk today, it sounds like a 1920s car horn. there were so many fins there, you couldnt look anywhere and not see one. tailgating was a blast. it was 90% dolphins in my parking lot.
i swear the only jags jersey they sell is jones drew. i have #32 embedded in my vision today. jags stadium is horrible. it is very fan unfriendly. for starters there was no places to stop and load up on tailgating supplies. i think i saw one fast food joint. we found a broken down winn dixie to stop at. the police have 2 spots reserved for them as you drive in. the cops walk the parking lot. someone was arrested for shoplifting while we were in there. some local came upto me and said you are smart by staying with your vehicle because evrything would be stolen out of your truck if you didnt. he said people hide and wait for fans to leave their vehicles unattended.
the stadium workers treat you as if you are in a jail. there no tvs near beverage/food places to keep track of game. we sat in front of budzone where evryone migrates to watch the game, good luck getting back to your seat. i felt like ben stiller in the movie along came polly when he was playing basketball.i understand why the jags are blacked out every week. i wouldnt want to go to that craphole either.
i screamed for fins all game, got people near me pumped up too. there were a lot of finfans who just sat there and didnt say or yell anything. it couldve been a lot louder but oh well , we won. it was great after the game high fiving finfans and taunting jags fans. the victory made me forget all the negative things.

I completely agree with all these statements. I actually ended up in the club section while trying to get back to my seat, and as there is no way to get out of there to get to my seat without going insinde and missing half a quarter i stopped an usher and asked him to let me out so i didnt have to climb over the handrail, instead of realizing that i was telling him i dont belong in the club section and sought him to let me get back to my cheaper seats, he escourted me to his boss- who actually told me just to go to the budzone and watch the game there, instead of going back and chearing with my friends. at this time i told him id really rather just go watch the game with my compatriots, he then got annoyed and asked me for my ticket, thats when i realized i had handed it to my friend and never got it back. The guy then saw that as reasoning to threaten to throw me out of the game, i had to haggle w/him just to take me to my seat where i could get my ticket and prove i belong there. which i did. but only after missing an entire drive, i was pissed.
and it started because i wanted to do the right thing and not take the more expensive seats... lesson learned i guess...
but yeah- lots of dolfan love the whole time everyone was high fiven, fis pounded, walken to their rides yellen cadences, nothing offensive but really good natured cheers and what not. oer-all good day.
there were a ton of dolphins fans there. i almost felt bad for the jags fans. we could of been louder, i think alot of the phins fans wanted to show respect in another teams house by not being crazy. i was loud, but that was it for my section. the stadium sucks, it looks like a college stadium. except for the budzone, that was awesome.

when we go home i expect every miami fan around to go to those 2 games. sell that place out and show this team how much we care. make it the loudest game of the year in all of the nfl and take control of the game. its december boys and girls and WE ARE the 12th man
Sounds like the Jags don't have a strong fan base. Did you notice the empty seats?
no....it was pretty full only because of all the dolphins fans. at halftime a jags fan told me this is the biggest crowd by far they've had all year. he said usually u could go and get a drink with no lines. as opposed to sunday where you had to wait.

In my section we were in control. As a whole I would venture it was 1/3 dolphin fans....
That may have as much to do with a good 'ol south Fla love of beer as being an indication of sheer numbers

When my bro.-in-law and I sat in our seats with our phins gear on I heard the jags fan behind us ask his friend "We're in the right stadium right?" It was great seeing all the miami fans and hearing them be loud! If it wasn't for their first down chant I don't think we would have heard much from the jags fans at all. After the game was the best! All the miami fans were running around hootin & hollerin, chanting, high-fiveing each other all the way out to the cars. Awesome!
I thought the stadium was ok, not bad for a spruced up old Gator Bowl. The one knock I have is no tv's around concessions so you have no clue what was going on in the game if you left your seat.

We were in the 409 section, and they had TV's by the concession . . . I was suprised they showed it because it was the CBS broadcast and I thought it was blacked out lol but I'm waiting in line for a beer and a pretzel and I see the 3rd quarter kickoff.
If Goodell is complaining about Landshark not getting anymore Super Bowls I can pretty much guarantee Jville wont be getting one, that place is blah.
The one GREAT thing about that stadium is . . . there isn't many bad seats at all, I saw the whole field perfectly from where I was sitting, nosebleeds don't exist at that stadium.
Yes the "Jones-Drew" jersey was EVERYWHERE . . . lol I commented to my friend that was with me that I only saw like one "Garrard" jersey . . . hell I saw more Kyle Brady jersey's than Garrard.
Fans didn's didn't know how good our run D is . . . because the Jags fans kept saying how Drew was gonna run over us . . . and they laughed when I told them we would keep him under 60 yards . . . lol . . . 15 carries, 59 yards Lmao.
For the most part, I didn't meet many people who traveled up from South Florida like we did (I did see them driving up and down on the I-95), most fans came from either Orlando, St. Augustine or right there in Jacksonville and explained that was Dolphin country heavy before the Jags came . . . some converts, some stayed Dolphin. Makes sense.
