get stuck sitting next to the biggest a**holes at supercross? We buy our tickets from the local shop and have tried the expensive seats and the cheap seats. But every year it's the same story. The asshats seem to think the day is about getting drunk and then doing stupid shit during the show. It's not worth getting in a fight and ruining the whole night but it just makes us want to stay home and watch the show on tv. We've had people so drunk that they are tossing their cookies next to us or just passing out all together.
This year the vacinity drunk thought it was funny (among other things) to throw a full drink cup over the folks in front of him. I think it may have been an intentional thing just to get a fight started.

I agree. I've never been to a SX, but I have been to NHL games and Monster Trucks, and its the same. Always a dickhead or five to ruin peoples night.
On a side note: There's always talk about what we can do to grow the sport or how we can become more mainstream in the future. Personally I think one of the things that we need to do is try to shake the bro/fmx stigma that is attached to motocross. If the general public viewed the riders as world class athletes rather than "dare devils", it would begin to build credibility in the sport. Having skin tight, leather-clad Monster girls who resemble strippers more than they do trophy girls or cheerleaders doesn't help either. Just my opinion.

Strippers, trophy girls, and cheerleaders are there for the same reason: eye candy.
Do you take issue with objectifying women or just dislike ladies who wear leather and could possibly strip for your amusement?
If I read you correctly, you would be fine if they dressed as cheerleaders. Maybe we agree after all! heh
This year I attended two Anaheim races, and the crowd there is always better behaved and more family oriented.
Also, try to put two six year olds in front of a tv show that has the Monster Girls grinding and posing, its makes me uncomfortable.
Dont get me wrong I like the girls, but as a responsable dad I think its too much for the little ones to see that stuff.
High five!

I even get annoyed at Washougal now a days with people not watching the races and just getting in the way of watching. It's still fun to go to the races though, I've been going to Washougal nats since i was 11 back in 1997 and I'll always try to go there.
One thing I noticed at the 2 football games I went to, was that they had a text messaging system set up to anonymously report out of control fans. Not sure how well it worked (the section I was sitting in at both games seats were $450-600, so everyone was minding their manners) but definitely seems like it could be easily applied to stadiums at SX events.
I got fortunate with the SX I attended 2 years ago and Jerryland. We got our backs parked against a concrete wall with nobody behind us. No issues at all.
I feel like an old bastard at 27 years old. I prefer to watch the race at home more than go for the most part. Don't have to deal with paying $40 to park, $10 a beer, and the drive. Also don't have to deal with these idiots around you. But you definitely have more to see when you go to the races. Just have to pick your poison.
how many of you go to NFL games? Do you take your young ones?
I have two boys, 7 and 2. Having been to SX's at almost every round for many years I know what to expect. I know there are going to be drunks EVERYWHERE at every city.
I have been to NFL games that are worse.
If you bring excitement, adrenaline and alcohol to an event and it is bound to happen. I remember being a kid in the late 80's and seeing many fights at SX races.
Do they still offer "family" sections?
Another option is to get a group of people together and look into getting a suite. Yeah, it may be more expensive, but in most cases you get your own bathroom, no lines at the concession stand and you won't complain about the partiers. Some even have a carpeted room or extension, once my kids got bored at intermission they were playing and running around. I did this at New Orleans last year and San Diego in years past, great seats and no drunk drama. Most the time suites are "owned" by either an individual with a season pass or the stadium, they are not offered by ticketmaster. You can negotiate with them, especially when the event gets closer.

As far as the monster girls go, Im OK with that, they aren't dressed any worse than the girls at the local high school that the kids will be around anyway.
