Not at a stadium, but I would have like to have some armed guards at night going to my car parked in the hood around the old orange bowl after a game.

Went to a West Ham-Tottenham match at Upton Park a few years ago while I was in grad school. My friend who is a west ham supporter that lives in the area around the stadium gave me a west ham scarf and told me to not stray from the pack. shite was intense. There isn't a rivalry in college football that comes close to how much those people hate each other. It was very, very scary. Police in riot gear surrounded the visitors section. In the stadium it wasn't bad..it was a lot of fun actually..it was the before and after that really got the adrenaline going.

On a monday night, 1997ish, Barton Coliseum, Little Rock, AR.

WWF came to town and this was during the time when Monday Night Raw was taped prior to Monday night. For some reason though the uneducated rednecks that filled the arena thought that it was Monday Night Raw. When they figured it out prior to the last match all heck broke out. Shawn Michaels came out and as beer bottles and chairs were being slung towards the ring he called off the fight and walked out.

Once that happened the place broke out into pure chaos. People on the floor picking up folding chairs and smashing them over peoples heads, fist fights, and trying to tear down the ring.

We watched for about 5 minutes and then got the heck out. As we were walking out one of my buddies was almost run over by a Limo hauling a few of the wrestlers out. Dude wasn't stopping for anybody. It was possible the craziest thing i have ever seen in my life.

ACtually here is a blog post talking about the ordeal with the news story.

1992 Eagles - Cowboys MNF at Veterans Stadium. I
was in 6th grade, first and only game my dad would ever take me to in that stadium.
The walk to the car after the game gave me a real appreciation for everyone fighting to get on the last chopper outta Saigon.
