The Manchester City supporter filmed in tears during Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea, and ridiculed on message boards nationwide, has claimed: "I wasn’t crying, I was just frustrated and very tired".

Usa fans arent comparable to MAn U fans or others english fans;

What is the reasoning behind Kyle Field? I dont even know in what city the stadium is in, but I'd be willing to be that inequality in a US stadium is probably slightly overstated.

Before I say anything, Kyle Field is a College (AMERICAN) Football stadium, so I wouldn't expect Europeans to understand. I already know half of you stopped reading after the last sentence.

It's located in College Station, Texas and home to the Texas A&M University Aggies. Their fans are rabid, loud, and make an intimidating venue even more intimidating. They all stand on their feet through out the entire game, only sitting down for halftime, yell their asses off, having military cadets close to the field, the 55 American Flags on Gameday (representing 55 alumni who fought in WWI), Singing the "Aggie War Hymm", kissing in the stands after the team scores, the mascott Reveille, the fan base is known as "the 12th man".....

Look, I know the football in this thread is "Footy". Association Football. Some guys here don't know that, but as far as American football goes, Kyle Field and the Texas A&M students/alumni/fan base is one of the best, with the one of the top traditions and emotional fans in the country.


I'm not gonna get into another football vs. soccer thing, because it's a stupid, bitchy, and pointless argument. But why is it that American football or Rugby or Galic or any other code of football doesn't count here?

JJG: You and I have very different interpretations of the last couple of posts. For me, Mark555's list was based on inequality of attendees at stadiums around the world. His use of the word "equality" doesn't seem to correlate with "intimidating" fanbases, which is what you seem to think. The list doesn't make a lot of sense unless you interpret it that way. Otherwise, you could have put hundreds of football clubs ahead of most of those.

Lords (cricket), Wimbledon (tennis) and Twickenham (rugby) are well known for the upper class backgrounds of most of their patrons. The stadiums, perhaps outside of Twickenham, are not hostile whatsoever.

My question about Kyle Field had nothing to do with the legitimacy of an American stadium being put into a list which compares atmospheres, but it had to do with questioning what made Kyle Field a place of "inequality", ie is the stadium synonymous with a certain ethnicity or class? I can see how you may have interpreted my post to be a criticism of US atmospheres, but that couldn't be more wrong. My post had nothing whatsoever to do with atmospheres.

That's not true. There have been images posted here from every football code. You asking that question seems to stem from a misinterpretation of my post, which as I explained above has nothing to do with your rant. As for Paraguay Dream, I think he misunderstood the list as well. Considering Old Trafford has one of the worst atmospheres in all of football, he doesn't appear particularly astute either.

I was responding to TWO posts including yours, but I guess to go to your point about "inequality".... nearly all of the major college and pro football stadiums in America have club levels, sky boxes. That sort.

Most likely not like Europe, but the wine and cheese crowd does have their own sections of a stadium.
