You will have no problems cheering on the canucks or wearing a jersey. Redwing fans are the best no matter who you are cheering for. Been to many games and have sat by people with other team jerseys and never hear or see a problem.
NOOOO, that information is way off. Youll be fine- go ahead and wear your jersey and root on for your team. Thats only true if you open your mouth and try to talk trash about the wings- then youll have some drunk fans get a bit hostile which is unfortunate, but dont worry about it (especially with your husband there- they dont usually bother the ladies in any case). My buddy went wearing an Avs jersey (there huge rival) and didnt have any issues. Enjoy, and GO WINGS!!
The things his friends said are entirely untrue. Wear your jersey, paint your face, get excited! Nobody likes a heckler, but don t be ashamed to root for your team. People in Detroit are very friendly, and although loyal, aren t going to start a fight with you because you aren t from the area. Red Wings games are a great time. Don t worry about it for a second!
Lol. Wow. About the most violence you would come across wearing an opposing teams jersey is about what you would expect out of the same at your teams home games. You ll be fine. About the only thing you might get is some nasty comments or a evil glare or two from of the drunks. Go ahead and cheer on your team. Be warned, Wings are pretty awesome. lol
I think you will find most Red Wing fans are TRUE hockey fans and will not give you a hard time.Come down and cheer your team (but don t be disrespectful of the Wings!) and you will have a great time.While your here, stay in one of the downtown hotels and spend a lot of money! Our economy needs all the help it can get!
Oh my god. That s crap. The games are really fun, and Detroit is not like that. If you cheer on your home town Red Wings fan might BOO you, but nothing violent. The games are so much fun!
If anybody gives you any grief about the Canucks jersey, tell them to TRY to take it off of you. But check the teams standings first. If the playoff race is tight by then, look out.
lololol no, no at all. If you talk **** about the Wings the whole game, you or your husband might end up catching a beer or two by the end of the night lol.
that is the dunbest thing ive ever heard. your husbands friends are ignorant. maybe they get threatened because they act like idiots.
Not true, at all! You will be fine. Cheer for your team.Go Wings! :-)
I was in a sports bar in Chicago the night of a Redwings/Blackhawks game, and I was wearing a Wings jersey. Someone told me that it might not be such a good idea to wear that jersey in a Chicago bar when the Chicago team was playing. It was just a good-natured ribbing, and just as good-naturedly, I responded that I d like to see anyone try to take it off me. Nobody really meant anything serious by it, and we all enjoyed the game while we were drinking, me cheering for Detroit while several others cheered for Chicago. (And even some of the Chicago people cheering for the Wings.)Wings fans in Detroit are loyal and vocal, and you might get teased about cheering for the visiting team, but hockey fans are HOCKEY fans, regardless of team. Nobody in Detroit is going to threaten you about supporting your team, and for damned sure won t be beating you up for it.ENJOY the game, don t just sit in silence.(At least WIngs fans don t riot and tear up the streets when the Wings win the Stanley Cup, not like baseball fans when Detroit wins a rare World Series.)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i been to a redwings game nothing like that happens when i went there was a kid there from another state he was there for the basketball finals he decided to go to a wings game he got picked on but nothing mean. he was joking around to. that is all bull sh** i am so sick of people thinking people are like that in detroit.
