American sports should take a page out of Europe's book and designate a section or two as the away fans' section. It would lead to a much more enthusiastic atmosphere for both the home and away fans IMO.

Indeed. Don't get why aren't there away sections in North American leagues. Obviously not always needed, but if there are at least 50-100 away fans it would make sense.

Yep agreed and it was ridiculous in last year's SCF hence i want the pens to wipe out Tampa so they can't do it again this year. Nashville has the same policy but even takes it another step further by denying entrance at the gate - if you aren't wearing Nashville attire and have legitimate resale tickets you don't get in. Also they were so paranoid about hawks fans cheering the national anthem that they asked the whole stadium to sing along during our first round matchup last season. Really? A team is so paranoid about the visiting teams fans that they need to institute rules on the national anthem?? Ridiculous. Thankfully the blues don't do any of this crap so I am able to watch a game down there and have a lot of fun. I detailed out my experience back in November at scotttrade in another thread - I really like the stadium and the area and the vast majority of people were cool.

NCAA football does this in every stadium, as well.
