10 NFL Cities That Aren’t Friendly to Visiting Jerseys

NFL road trips can be a blast—until you show up rocking the wrong colors in the wrong section. While most stadiums offer a good time for all, there are a few cities where repping the visiting team might earn you more than just a few side-eyes.

From passionate crowds to flat-out rowdy reputations, these fanbases are fiercely loyal and very vocal. Here are 10 NFL cities where visiting fans might want to think twice before throwing on that away jersey.

Lambeau Field is packed with tradition and pride, and Packers fans take it seriously. They’re mostly friendly, but you’ll definitely hear it if you show up in division rival gear.

9. Kansas City, Missouri

Arrowhead gets loud, and so do the fans. Wear an opposing jersey and prepare for endless reminders that “you’re in Chiefs Kingdom now.”

Bills Mafia is known for jumping through tables, but they’re just as intense in the stands. They love their team—and they don’t mind letting you know when you’re not one of them.

7. New York, New York (Jets and Giants)

New York fans are never shy, no matter which team you’re playing. If you walk into MetLife with the wrong jersey, you better have thick skin and a good sense of humor.

6. Cleveland, Ohio

Browns fans are loyal, gritty, and have been through it all. They don’t take kindly to visiting fans, especially if you’re cheering loud in the Dawg Pound.

5. New Orleans, Louisiana
