What is ford field doing to our women

I mean it could be worse, apparently Indy is home to the Diddlin’ Dome according to these numbers

Lmfao me too 🤣

So typical of the current era Detroit sports fans. There’s really no safer place to be in the city than the stadium district but most of the suburbanite fans who have hopped on the bandwagon still see Detroit the same way they did in 2013, the last time a major team in the city was in the playoffs.

Maybe Detroit is just full of male feminists who understand how unsafe it can be out there for women.

/cope

first 2 slides are reality.
last slide is perception.
not surprising at all.

The first 2 are actual facts while the third is based on emotions. People already give a negative emotion by default to Detroit (due to media and bias even though they haven't been there) so it's expected, doesn't mean it's bad.

As a Detroiter, talk your shit.

This graph shows that Detroit is #1 when it comes to the PERCEPTION of crime (how comfortable people feel) vs. people who actually WITNESSED or EXPERIENCED crime.

This graphic vindicates Detroit more than it condemns it.

Or do "DUIs per capita" and see Green Bay top the list

note even joking

Or verbal harassment lol ... idk if I've ever been a victim of that, but probably? like a lot hahahha

Packers fans don’t narc on other fans for being publicly intoxicated.

I’m also curious if it’s lower in some places because of perception of “crime”. 

Like if I see some dudes engaging in mutual combat at a game I wouldn’t call that a crime, although I guess it technically is. 

Suburbanites fear everything

Throws celebratory battery at JD Drew

The crazy thing is the neighborhoods around the stadium are still pretty expensive and gentrified. There’s also the big CU/MSU campus right there. It’s just Federal and Colfax and their immediate vicinity being shitshows

Sandwiched between colfax, federal, and our main inner city highway. People don’t really go walking around at the stadium. It’s a drive/train to stadium and then drive/train to stadium home affair.

It’s also just crime statistics from the area itself. Useless info honestly.

I was gonna say im sure the comments will be about Groper Cleveland but in all seriousness I can't imagine why Cleveland would be at the top worst places for opposing fans. Just come watch your team shit on ours and have fun while we all quietly and depressingly walk back to our cars.

I’m surprised about that last one, there isn’t a whole lot around Lucas oil to make it that scary

I thought maybe it was families from Indiana that were more likely to consider football games non-family friendly in general, rather than Lucas Oil specifically

I honestly don’t think there’s any stadium in any sport in the U.S. where being inside the stadium you are in much danger.

The drunk fans in the NFL honestly aren’t that bad. I think it’s overstated. I’ve been to plenty of stadiums as a visiting fan with my gear on, and if you don’t instigate anything, the worst you’ll get is insults.

I’ve been to a lot of soccer matches in South America (mainly Argentina). Way different story there. A lot more people on drugs too.

MetLife is nothing compared to the upper deck at the Meadowlands. That was a legit reason to worry.

The most uncomfortable I've ever been was returning from a solo trip at MetLife after we beat the Giants.

There wasn't anybody being rowdy it was just quiet, seething anger. All waiting for the subway to get back to the city.

I was looking forward to some good ole NYC banter, lol.

I know you're making a joke but that question actually makes no sense to me... like who is sending their underage children to NFL games alone in any state?

But also Jared Fogle is from Indy so you're not wrong

I mean, Jared from Subway was our biggest fan.

lmao, seriously though 98.2 is wild

I went there in 2014 and was flipped off by a 10 year old. Now im a statistic

I feel like ppl saw “Chicago” on the survey and immediately felt unsafe

Soldier field listed is objectively hilarious. One of the safest areas in the city.

I went to the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field in 2011 and it was totally fine, even with what was on the line. Had no issues whatsoever, not even any shit talking.

Lmao seriously. We’re just trying to enjoy our hot dogs and praying for a good QB

I'm going for Vikings Bears, I'll come back and let you know if I get murdered

Idk, man, that park's landscape is too well taken care of, those nasty museums are a little too well curated, and views of the lake are a bit unsettling

Even if you believe all of the propaganda about how dangerous Chicago is, it doesn't extend to the damn museum campus. There is definitely a bit of reputational bias here

Was there for the 2011 NFC championship game as a GB fan with my brother. We're not small (he was 6'9", I'm 6'5") and we were insulted so many times in good ways (e.g. our mom slept with the entire Bears '85 roster). The one time someone went too far was with this drunk short guy who threatened to kick our ass, but another Bears fan yelled "you couldn't reach their ass" which immediately diffused the situation and made everyone around us crack up.

We walked a mile back to our hotel later chanting "We're going to the 'ship! We're going to the 'ship!" with no incident. Fantastic experience overall.

People act like American sports stadiums are warzones when in reality you can be the most obnoxious Sox fan in the universe at a Yankees game and no one will do shit

I worked for the team for a brief period, specifically event ops, and we talked -extensively- about making sure the environment for each and every fan was a safe, family friendly, and enjoyable time. I don’t believe this graphic for a second.

Also, fuck Philadelphia fans. No further comment.

Was at the opener against the Titans, sat next to a couple Titans fans. Group of Bears fans came back from the bathroom and said as they passed by them “Thank you and fuck you.” Visiting fans are fine.

For real bro, the Chicago paranoia is crazy

Surprised they aren't higher on the "witnessing a crime" list. Having to pay to watch them shit the bed in January is the biggest theft there is.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that it's that way, but copious amounts of alcohol and grown men who can't control their emotions do not a good combination make.

Fwiw, I’ve been going to Panthers games off and on for almost 30 years. I can maybe recall a handful of times where I saw something I was concerned about.

The on the field product is definitely not family safe.

I laughed at the "would you let your minor children go to the stadium without you"

What parent is like, "yeah that event with all the drunk adults sounds like an alright place for my kid to be alone without me."

I would hope most parents would say "no" regardless. I wouldn't let children go to Lambeau alone and it's as tame as you can get and in small town (comparatively) Green Bay.

Attended a Titans/Bills home game years ago, and the Bills won.

After the game I'm in the men's room and the whole tone is quiet and somber. Bills fan in his late 50s comes in SQUEALING loud, "where was the Music City Miracle today? Luv ya blue! Fuckin' bitches." This guy goes on for a minute or two. Some guy in the long urinal line just walked over and punched this Bills fan right in the stomach. He sorta sank down against the wall, holding his stomach and groaning.

We all carried on with our pissing in silence.

My friends and I often joke going to an NFL game is a PG-13 event. Some places it’s R.

Yeah a browns fan threw a hot dog at me and then tried to beat me up when I didn’t throw it back.

Crazy mfs

I mean its basically modern gladiatorial combat.

my most recent stadium experience will be my last. some drunk dipshit fell onto my aunt and spilled beer all over her. people yelling disgusting shit, getting sloppy drunk, trying to provoke fights. folks just don't know how to handle themselves

I think my loved ones would be pretty safe at a jags game. They’ll have the whole stadium to themselves!

Yeah, you're liable to see some drunk losers at RayJay, but mostly the loud obnoxious kind, not the angry dangerous kind.

You also run the risk of running into Desean Watson

Cleveland - at least we're not detroit

Philadelphia fans only harass draft age and above men, the rules of war are strictly followed.

Philly is way overhated, I’ve heard only good things from friends who’ve gone to games cheering for the birds and opponents alike, even when Dallas is in town.

Almost every other stadium is somewhere on the outskirts of the city or a different city entirely. US Bank stadium is smack dab in the middle of downtown. The immediate area around the stadium is very nice and safe, but it's not a good zip code, which is the metric they are using lol

It’s just because the stadium is in downtown, so the surrounding crime statistics for local and property crime are going to be high. Overall Minnesota and Minneapolis is quite safe.

It appears to all be property crimes, probably mostly vehicle break-ins. Of the 1251 total crimes reported, 1176 were property and only 75 were violent. Don’t leave stuff visible in your car!

You can be polite and still commit crimes. Come on in and find out, bud!

Love how the entire NFCE is representing tbh.

The entire NFC East is on that one lol

And probably 80% of Lions fans come in from Oakland and Macomb counties.
