Which NFL team has the most obnoxious fans?

[David]

This was sparked by a heated facebook debate. A friend of mine swears it's Steelers fans. My vote goes towards Eagles fans. The city of brotherly love has some anger management issues in my opinion.

Although from the point of view of those who aren't sports-crazed, you could say all sports fans are obnoxious.

Eagle fans don't travel like the Steelers, so if you've been to the Eagles stadium then yeah, but fans are obnoxious, well most from the opposing team. Steelers rank #1 in my book. I've seen Jag fans harass visiting fans, but none are worse the Steelers. I have heard through many message boards that these stadiums should be avoided from opposing fans. Eagles, Jets, Gaints, I would imagine Steelers also.

I've had a few brushes with Eagels fans in Philly and when they came here in 2005 for the superbowl, so i'm totally biased based on just a few experiences.

I'm partial to Pittsburgh because I liked them before we had a team and the first game I went to was jags vs steelers in '95. Plus most of the games I've attended where we played them, we won and I was the one taunting them...so haha yeah this is a very subjective argument.

My friend didn't back down on swearing they're the worst though, at least out of the teams that visit us semi regularly.  I'm probably blind to their obnoxiousness due to my admiration of their team's rich history and the city of Pittsburgh itself.

Steelers

Steelers fans are obnoxious but loyal...Eagles fans are far worse (and that's coming from someone who went to college in Philly)

Eagles...

Gator fans! Oh wait, you said NFL.. 

I think Steeler fans can be super obnoxious.. Eagles fans.. and I've ran into some really, really annoying Colts fans. But I might just be throwing Colts in there because I can't stand that team or Peyton.

It was the Browns fans who threw bottles and stuff on the field at their stadium when the Jags played right? I haven't ran into enough Browns fans to get a real opinion on them.. but crap like that is pretty obnoxious..

Anyway... GO JAGS! =D

As a full fledged Steeler fan, I think we get that title since we travel so well. Most teams do not have the presence of fans to annoy you in your own stadium. Plus with recent success, people come out the wood work. However, most of my times sitting in JMS we are on the loosing end, and do not have much to talk about.

The one game I have been to in Heinz field, the Jaguar/Steeler playoff game, the Jag fans around me were treated well by the Steeler fans around them. The only problem we had was another Steeler fan and everyone ran him off.

Steelers. No contest.

Here's a non-local poll that pretty much confirms our suspicions:

The Eagles EASILY. They think they are "hard", but are basically just a bunch of drunken idiots.

I generally like opposing team's fans. But last years Steeler game I got into a bit of trouble.

We had 3 female Steeler fans in front of me (never seen them before or again) and since they were as wide as they were tall, they kept hitting me in the face when swinging their stupid towels. I like to lean forward in my seat when watching the game, actually I probably rock back in forth with anxiety, and those stinking towels kept hitting me.

Anyway,I was making comments on how we owned them, Hines Ward was dirty,etc..and they could not take it.
I find that usually is the case with female fans.The husbands laugh and stay good natured about smack talk but the ladies get so angry.

One of the women told me that I was an embarrassment to Jacksonville and that if I was at a Steeler's game their fans would never behave the way I was.
I had to take exception as I have had multiple friends go to Pittsburgh and been treated terribly. Rental car tires slashes, beers dumped on head, coins thrown at 'em, etc...

At half time, each of them came back with their own nacho's, which I could not let pass. I made a comment about how they could wipe the nacho cheese off of their face and luckily for them it would not stain the towel. They did not like that...

Maybe I am a little obnoxious!

Jets fans who came down to Jax for the game, those with the hard hats, were throwing batteries in section 130 when I was in that section. A few of them were, of course, ejected, and a few fights broke out.

I'd say at JMS, probably Steeler or Colt fans, its rediculous how many Peyton Homers come out in support every year. Disgusting actually.

Away stadiums - Ugh, Cleveland is the worst. Those fans hate everything, away teams, even their own team, and this year, can you blame them?

[copperfiend]

It's laughable to see bandwagon people in Florida wearing Colts jerseys as if they could name one Colts player before Peyton got there.

Jets fans are pretty obnoxious. That being said, I think the Eagles fans can be considered one of the worst. I mean, they booed santa and have their own holding cell at their stadium. I've heard from those that have been to Three Rivers and said they were treated well. Same with Nashville.

[tufsu1]

actually they did more than boo Santa....they threw snowballs at him...and Jimmy Johnson but that's ok :-)
