Wait. They let away fans sit in the home team section?

Yeah, weirdly we totally missed out on hooliganism in the US. Sports games are just people watching sports.

Bread and circuses. The biggest difference is we tend to riot after our team wins. 🤷‍♂️ ‘Murica.

Honestly, the US doesn't have anything that even resembles hooliganism, let alone the fucking insanity of Ultras. The occasional overly enthusiastic celebration after a team win sure maybe minor damage to like a streetlamp or a couple broken windows; when was the last time fans of the losing team were murdered while it was happening?

Like can you imagine the outrage in the US if people tried to pull this shit at the superbowl?

I agree the US doesn’t produce hooliganism, that was my point. We unfortunately translate the vibe in our own way that ends up much worse.

Im pretty sure they let them sit wherever they can get tickets. I also heard attendance was so bad for the 2 76ers home games they donated a lot just to fill seats. If its that bad it's no wonder knicks fans are taking over at away games.
