That wasn't my experience. The cops seemed to be going out of their way to bust opposing fans who didn't understand their rules. We've never experienced anything like it in any other city we've tailgated at so idk why you think I'm playing the victim.

Tailgating for football is supposed to be fun, it's not fun to constantly be looking over your shoulder expecting to be ticketed for just standing somewhere with a beer.

I agree. It's no fun to be looking over your shoulder wondering if you sipping on a beer is okay. I just haven't seen these situations where cops are actively seeking out away fans. They have signs posted in a lot of places in the neighborhoods informing people it doesn't matter if it's a gameday or not. Again, if you park in a private lot, just tailgate there and just don't walk around with a beer in transit. It's fairly easy to understand.

But back to the situation I was talking about, I was talking about your situation in the stands. Yes I've seen cops be dicks to entire rows, but it's not just away fans. It's usually because someone is being a dick or multiple people being dicks and trying to argue with the cops.

And for what it is worth, I am an attorney, so if there are usually any issues with cops in our tailgate or a surrounding tailgate, I quickly put the cops in their place if I see them trying to pull some shite that I know isn't legal. It's become kind of an annoyance for me some days though.
