It's funny, originally I started dreaming up ideas for fan No No's that get on my nerves. You know, the little quirks that just drive you mad at a sporting event: the people who never stop talking, the fat man who never wants anyone to stand up, or the guy who never realizes the huge amount on snot dripping off his nose when it's cold?
Oddly, the course veered and I ended up just running down a long list of idiotic things my friends or I have done at sporting events, most of which are Michigan games. Turns out there are quite a few good ones. Anyway, here are some No No's we learned the hard way. Feel free to share your own if you got some funny stories.
Don't underage drink when your friend's dad takes you to the game - This one ended awfully. We were probably 17 and slammed some undrinkable Vodka in a hurry before the game, probably Popov if memory serves. Anyway, one member of the group got a little ill, so we went into the Victors Club, essentially an alumni hangout in Crisler Arena to which my friend's dad belonged. About five minutes into the half, were sitting in chairs watching amidst a pretty large group halftime scores on TV and RALPH. All over the floor.
Don't take your shirt off at Rockies Stadium to get on the Jumbo - This one was me. I was hanging out with three kids, probably 12 years old and we decided to get on the big screen. Unfortunately, while were twirling the shirts around, mine collides and I lose it. Next thing I know, I'm staring down from the Upper Deck at my shirt on the grass in bullpen. There's a silver lining though. I picked up a "Baseball With An Altitude" shirt to replace it.
Don't eat sushi at the stadium - This actually happened at Shea. I couldn't believe it, but it happened. That's just a terrible lack of judgement altogether.
Don't pee in a cup in the stands - Obviously the cup spilled and this ended in an ejection. Plan ahead guys, it's a long game.
Do rush the field when the riot gear is out in force. Just don't run into the pepper spray - This represents my sports fan peak moment. We rushed the field at the Big House after the Ohio State game before they Wolverines won (ok, tied) the national championship. Strangely, no matter how drunk you get, pepper spray really, really hurts.
Don't eat mushrooms before a college football game - This seems like a really bad idea. There is absolutely nowhere to hide and you're inevitably gonna end up sitting next to a nice lady from Schenectady who wants to talk about your love life. Plus, mushrooms and mascots are a horrible combination.
Don't talk about your blog - This applies in all facets of life. It never ends well. Although, it is quite fun to talk about blogs with other bloggers.
Don't wear a Red Sox hat to Yankee Stadium - This one was funny. Some random girl literally just "yanked" this off a guy's head and flipped it over the rails.
Don't mess with the pitcher if you're lucky enough to get seats behind home - Funny as it may seem at the time, you get the boot.Subscribe to us
