At the December Ralph game, dude in front of me straight up pissed his snow pants, turned around and apologized for pissing his snow pants, and continued watching the game.

I was near the front row ar a Metallica concert years ago, Saint Anger tour, godsmack opened, think it was in Hamilton, and a guy right up against the fence just takes it out while facing the stage between bands and pisses all over the floor right there. Then just continues on like nothing. Last show I saw in the Lawn Seats anywhere was Dave Matthew's, stopped buying lawn seats when I saw multiple people (men and women) just pissing where they were out there.

Bruins - Sabres playoffs, 87-88 season.  Game 3.  Sitting with my GF (now wife) in the oranges.  Corner seats.  The Bruins up 2 games to 0.  Huge number of Bruins fans in the Aud and the atmosphere is CHARGED.

There were a number of fights in the stands that game.  During the 2nd intermission my GF had to use a restroom.  I walked her to the nearest restroom and waited for her in the alcove.  A fight between 10 or so Bruins and Sabres fans started up right outside of the alcove for the ladies room.  My GF opened the door of the restroom to leave and I slammed it shut on her.  There was a full on donneybrook going on just outside.  When security showed up and everyone dispersed i opened the restroom door.  Glad I didn't get swung at.  I was young and dumb and would have ended up in the middle of that mess.

There was a middle aged dad with his young son sitting a few rows below us.  Kid was maybe 10-12.  There was a group fo Bruins fans behind them and they were raucous all game.  By the start of the 3rd these guys were hammered and getting very loud and obscene.  Dad tried to get them to stop swearing and one of the Bruins fans kicked him in the head.  Everyone around them yelled for an usher and pointed out the kicker.  He was escorted out by security, but at some point must have broken free because a few minutes later we saw him on one of the platforms in the reds where the cameraman sits and he was doing his best Rocky imitation.  Security got him again and we never saw him again.

Nastiest game I've ever attended.  Fights in the stands every period.  It was a crazy scene.

I remember those playoff games vs. the Boston.  My dad and I had season tickets in the Oranges, behind the goal.  We were there in 87-88, I was 7.  There was all kinds of craziness during the playoff games.  I remember one year vs. the Habs, someone made an effigy of Russ Courtnall and was swinging it down from the oranges in a noose.  A Whalers game where a drunken Whalers fan starting pissing on the Sabres fans seated in front of him.  

My dad used to question whether or not it was a good idea to bring a kid to games like that, but those are the best memories I have from my childhood.

1. The 2006 Playoffs. Game 6 against the Canes. Briere scores on the PP in OT to tie up the series. Nail biter of a game. If Canes scored instead, series would’ve been over. Sabres fans are in one of those drunk/happy/rowdy moods. Walking through the crowded hallway to leave, you can hear an altercation happening inside one of the bathrooms, and people are trying to herd to see what is going on. This poor guy in a Canes jersey is on the floor getting kicked and peed on by multiple Sabres fans. Not only did his team just lose, but had to have that happen to him. 

 

2006 playoffs, I was living here in NC, just graduated from college and drove the 90 minutes or so to see the games in Raleigh.  The giveaway for one of them was glass tumblers.  I was in the stands, alone, in a old school Hawerchuk jersey, surrounded by Canes fans.  Most of my section was pretty nice.  We had good banter back and forth, but it was all good natured.  On the way to my car after the game, a group of Canes fans started chucking the glasses at anyone they could find in Sabres gear.  I dodged a few of them sent my way and ran as fast as I could to my car.

Never saw anything bad at a Sabres game in the crowd. Bill's on the other hand, plenty of passed out drunks or drunks puking or hassling and trying to pick fights with opposing teams fans. Had 2 younger drunks stumbling around the lots pre game pushing and wrestling each other, even throwing each other at and on cars. When they got near us one wanted to fight my friend for wearing a TO Cowboys Jersey until his drunk buddy reasoned with him that it was ok cause at the time, TO was a Bill. They then proceeded to wander away throwing each other around and into parked cars.
