Tampa Bay Times

quote:

TAMPA — Lewis Stephens Jr. was excited to bring a group of young men from his mentor group to their first Bucs game Sunday.

What he didn’t expect was so many fans in black and gold.

...

While it’s common for opposing fans to show up in force in Tampa Bay sports venues, Sunday’s crowd seemed especially stacked in favor of the New Orleans Saints.

"D***, look at all that black and gold,” a Bucs fan shouted during the game.

...

Throughout the game Saints fans loudly chanted “Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints," every time the team scored or made a good play. The chant grew louder later in the game.

And the chants didn’t stop when time expired.

Saints fans yelled the “Who Dat” their entire trip exiting down the ramp and didn’t stop even once they made it to their cars.

“It’s annoying,” said Jackson Herr, 30, a Tampa native and Bucs season-pass holder. “The Saints fans hate me. I do that Who Dat chant every time we do something good.”

To be fair, I bet it is. When they have a ton of opposing fans in the Dome I get extremely annoyed if they are obnoxious.

Couldn't have been very often.

Nothing more annoying than an opposing fan being obnoxious. As a pelicans fan I know it too well. The upcoming Lakers game will be unbearable.

The Bucs game in Tampa I went to '13, I can attest, our fans were pretty loud and obnoxious, especially after the game.

But of course you're going to feel like that with the other teams fans regardless. But I saw some of our fans laughing in kids faces after that one.

I’ve seen our idiot fans chant the uneducated “Who Dat” song in San Diego at a Chargers game and in Seattle at a Seahawks game and both times it made me embarrassed to be a Saints fan.

Let’s stop being Bourbon Street piss/puke gutter runoff trash and speak intelligently instead.

I mean... Bengals fans have used almost the exact same chant... and have been for years

except they change "dat" to "dey"

Those aren't REAL Lakers fans, though.

honestly, we probably do have annoying visiting fans. But then again, I can't think of fans that have visited the dome that weren't annoying. Maybe the cardinals?

There is an art to being a cool visiting fan. If done right you get invited to cool tailgates and parties, and everyone has a great time, win or lose. When I was younger and single got invited to an aftergame party in XXX city, met a young lady, and had an even better night after that...

That night would have turned out differently if I was an obnoxious fan.

I think this is pretty universal to life. Don’t be obnoxious. Doors get opened.

I haven't liked "Who Dat" since it started. Everytime you go to the bathroom in the dome, some trashy dumb arse has to walk in and yell it. Why? You're in the can, what's the point?

Kinda the same with LSU fans spelling everything with eaux. I never found it cute or unique, just kind of stupid.

Who Dat to me is a wonderful greeting especially for those of us that moved away. I run across fellow Louisiana natives/Saints fans and that is a greeting that brings me back home. People around me get a kick out of that connection we all have when it happens.
