Soldier Field Story

[91EaglesD]

Was with 5 bears fans. Favorite city ever. So many hot women. Awful tailgayte scene.

In stadium I'm walking down stairs to my seat and a guy yells "I should knock you out". I say why and he says cuz I threw a snowball at Santa. I say I did not, I was born 20 years later. He said you're still an asshole and I said at least I'm respectful to opposing fans and the people within earshot gave me a golf clap.

Vast majority were nice people but my god did I have to hear about the snowballs too many times

Whenever somebody brings that up I explain it wasn't the real Santa Claus. Most haters don't realize that and quickly move on.

"Knock me out eh??" I would have told him to pack a lunch and bring some friends.

Love Chicago, great city and people were very friendly.

[Irish George]

sure that's a great response

I dont think he could have handled it any better. Made the guy look like a complete asshat. Challenge the guy and you are challenging 70,000 people. We've seen what that will get you at the Vet and the Linc.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Agreed

In general, many midwesterners take pride in being friendly and hospitable, so 91's retort was nicely aimed.

Yeah you're right there. Dumb response and I own it. My blood tends to boil where bullies for lack of a better term are involved.

Edit to Add: I've been to enough stadiums for Eagles games to know that you keep your mouth shut and politely cheer.
