I'm the same. I'm 30 but I don't have kids or anything so I get it but I also understand that some people aren't in my shoes and see these games as a nuisance. I'm not trying to make any judgments about it, I just know where I stand on the issue, but I do concede that these bad things must be happening even if I don't see them. I admit that I've been to Chargers vs Raiders and Dodgers vs Giants games where the crowds can get intimidating and it makes you feel uneasy. I'm in touch with that emotion, I just haven't experienced it at Bridgestone for whatever reason. I guess it's just a frustrating scenario all around and I wish our fan base was naturally larger so that even if some of our fans decided not to go based on personal preferences, we had fans of our own lining up to take those seats and fill the arena either way. Unfortunately that's probably not the case.I probably fall into the former category since I am 25, haha. I just enjoy the energy in the building for Hawks and Wings games with all the opposing fans. Emotional investment in the game is much higher than say a game vs Ottawa.
(watch me end up front and center in something tonight now that I say this)
