mcneil wants undercover cops in soldier field to help protect the vikings fans?
has mcneil ever met the average vikings fans traveling to soldier field (or champaign for that matter) for bears games?
they mug a whole lot worse than the packers fans could ever dream of. i have multiple occasions where some purportedly-post-nordic shitheel is there with his girl in a sea of bears jerseys, and every time they get a first down the dude is standing up with his arms open oscillating around 360 degrees to say "what the fuck, bears fans? i thought you guys were good"
in fact i have video evidence of the mindset that vikings fans oft install in us bears fans cuz in this case, i couldn't help but focus down on the 3 people who were up and chirping all game long, especially during the vikings late comeback.... so when they managed to blow it in overtime (and remember the bears were ending up a 7-9 team and the vikings were 13-3 or something, as this was the season that led to that magical favre INT which illicited the soundbite "THIS ISN'T DETROIT.... THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!") damn right you wanted to look down to see those guys writhing in the beautiful misery of defeat.
if there's ONE thing bears fans and packers fans (far far far from teh worst lot in the NFL from my experiences, at least the traveling ones) can agree on it's fuck the vikings. '

also, mcneil doesn't know that up in the peasant dish (you know, where season tickets aren't quite as holy grail as they are in the real seats) if you fuck around too much it's not all that uncommon to have ~16 redshirted monterrey security guards run up and handle biz. it happens 1-2 times a game no matter who's there, which means that they've already got people in there and there's no doubt cameras everywhere covering every angle of the crowd.... so having a campaign that basically says "hey assholes, we're gonna have secret police ready to BUST YOU if you fuck with the vikings fans?!?!" yikes
if that policy had been in affect 10 years ago, i never would have lived to see that guy in the moss jersey talking bitter shit on the way out from the vikings snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in champaign, where said moss fan ended up catching the business end of near/empty drinks on the way down. suffice to say he gave it up.
