It certainly depends on the fanbase, but this is one reason why I oppose selling of beer in the stadium for college football. I was at the Penn State @ Maryland game a couple years ago, and a Maryland fan that was still drinking into the 4th was getting increasingly belligerent as Penn State pulled away in a blowout more and more. At the start of the game, the stadium was probably 30-40% Penn State and by the 4th it was 50% as Maryland fans had already started leaving. I just don't think a lot of football fans can handle themselves and drinking in the stadium means they continue getting drunker rather than more sober as the game wears on.

I've never really run into any belligerent, drunk fans at baseball games. Yankees or Red Sox fans could get pretty annoying at Orioles games, but you didn't feel like one of them might violently explode. I think people take football a lot more personally than other spectator sports in the US.
