Standing in the Aisles at Fed Ex during ICC Soccer Match

[Anonymous]

So my family and I went to the Real Madrid Juventus game on Saturday. We also went last year when Barcelona played Manchester United. We get the best seats that we can afford and both times all these people who don't belong there come and stand in the aisles and block your view. The security does a piss poor job stopping them and clearing them out. Really ruined the experience for us both times. What is amazing is that security will yell at them and they are so bold that they totally ignore security. They pretend they don't hear. Sometimes they sit in seats when people get up to go to the bathroom or something and then will argue that they don't want to get up when they get back. These bullies arguing with moms to not give back seats. It's really disgusting. It also seems to be only Hispanics and very African guys that do this. Is this the soccer culture that people say we are missing in the US? I never saw this happen at Nats games, hockey games, or Redskins games (at least to this degree). How can people be such a-holes?

not as bad as yours, but no very good either. Every time there were activities near the goal, people in front rows stoodup and blocked the view, the little kid had to watch big screen a lot instead of the field.

And yes almost nobody checking ticket after the main gates which is quite different than the other games(NBA/MLB) we went to.

DH was at that game (as well as the Barcelona game) and said a bunch of people pushed through the main gate and security that it pretty much caused a stampede. My son was nervous because his ticket was never scanned. DH said security was non existent.

What type of people act like this? They think they can do whatever they want.

Tr answer to this question is "fedex field"

I refuse to ever go there again

And yes, big time soccer will attracts lots of rowdy fans and partisans but that is something the event host has to plan for. I am sure FedEx field treated like another lowly Redskins game and staffed accordingly

Unfortunately, someone will probably have to get seriously injured for anyone to pay attention

"Hispanics and very African guys"

Yup. Several years ago, I bought seats 8 rows from the pitch. People were standing up in front of us in their seats closer to the pitch. Seriously? I bought seats further up last year for the MUFC Barcelona match and all kinds of people were standing on the stairs, gathering at the entrance points and blocking people's views. It sucked. We did not go to the RM match this year.

That would really pmo, I would write an email to someone at FedEx field or wherever. If enough people complain and stop buying tix maybe they will do something.

FedEx is the worst for soccer because they sell "standing room only" tickets which are meant for designated areas in the upper level, but of course people who buy them roam around the stadium stealing vacant seats or standing at the front of sections.
