I've been spit on... and even punched in the face by a drunk woman!!

And only because I was wearing a Flames jersey. When I watch the game, I'm very focused and observant...I don't drink or talk to anyone, nor do I even cheer when a goal is scored...just a boring nobody that you'd never even notice...and I've had those things happen.

It's rare, of course, but I'm just surprised as I assume you've been to more games than I have.
To be perfectly honest, I'm a little surprised myself that I haven't experienced worse based on horror stories that I have heard. I stand and cheer when the Flames score, I'm yelling at Flames players during the game, calling them by their first or nick name. I'm sure I come across as annoying to the people around me, but I just haven't had anything all that bad happen to me.

I generally score tickets in the lower bowl and maybe that plays a part? Upper bowl generally is a little more rowdy from what I hear/read.
