Going to away games - a good experience?

I’ve gone to a lot of away games but as part of marching band, so my experience might be different since I’m not a typical fan.

It varies widely - I’ve been to some away venues where the fans are very nice and courteous to visitors and then there’s some where even as part of the band we’ve been booed, given the finger, etc. If they’re concerned about hostile fans, I’d encourage them to be quiet on their way into and out of the stadium (especially if their team ends up winning); it will draw less attention. I think people are a lot less likely to be mean to a group of girls, anyway, so I think they’ll be ok.

If they got tickets through their school, then they should most likely be in the visiting fan block.
