Colts Fans vs. Gen Con Gamers?

[d20Dwarf]

As far as I could tell, apart from a long wait at area restaurants, the football game had no impact on Gencon whatsoever.

We went to the Colts game during GenCon and had a great time (despite the Colts losing). We didn't see any obnoxious behavior one or or another from any of the Colts fans. Frankly, I doubt that many of them really cared.

I have noticed, however, that the most vocal people about this problem that I've read seems to be those who were at GenCon in costume on Saturday (and some of the more outlandish costumes at that), to which I would simply reply: Well, what in the hell did you expect??

But maybe that's just me...

Doubt there will be a game during GenCon next year as GenCon will likely be in July.

Aug 18 thru Aug 21 next year. Saw it in the GenCon forums (they have tentative dates listed for GenCon through like 2010).

Funny one RatPunk,

Ok I am surprised no one has brought up the old Nerd/Jock stereotypes yet... I know which side of the fence I sit.... Talk nerdy to me!!!

I personally think having other non-gaming activities available through out GenCon (Drinking, football, debauchery), is and should be a good thing. Gaming is a social event, at least at my table. Maybe a Colts fan might decide to stop in and find a outlet for his/or her aggression of having a losing team.

Go Texans! :

My bad. I thought the move from July to Aug. this year was just a one-year thing. Me, I prefer Aug. It gets me out of Texas during the hottest part of the year.

At least you weren't in Philly

If they were Eagles fans, the Gen Con attendees would have been dead or injured. Heh.
