Well back in the day i had end zone seats 7 rows off the field . And no , it was`nt in the black hole in oakland sat at opposite end . The oakland crowds were so much better then .Worst thing i saw in my end zone was , a guy who use to play a bugle , some one came up poored a bucket a beer on his head . Well he was dealt with in good fashion was pointed out by everyone and was escorted out building , today who knows whst would happen . But back then , it looked like black hole was beginning to get rowdy , but i blame the move to los angeles as the big problem . the few games i saw there , the crowds were really out of hand . I think if the league goes back to Los Angeles , they need a new stadium along with a better location for it .Because the LA COLISEUM Is in a bad neighborhood. We had people trying to steal stuff we had left and right as we tail gated . That is definately worst place i ever saw . Makes some places i`ve seen in oakland , east st.louis and detroit , look like candy land . But i`d have to say all football stadiums our getting bad ,as economy gets bad the crowds get worst . Use to be families would go maybe big groups of 8 or more these days , they can`t enjoy it because cost . So now get rich kids , yuppies , snobs and drug elements there , no wonder ave people can`t go . Take in point , in 1981 , i was paying 8 dollars a game for my seat .When they moved to La i think it jumped to close 20 . When they came back i believe it was 55 dollars , plus if i wanted my same seat now i had to pay over 3,000 for the seat rights. Now to sit in mt davis was 25 for nose bleed seat and seat rights 250 . So sometimes getting a new stadium , only is best for the owners pocket. So can just imagine what New York will charge . Thats one reason enjoy cfl .
