I haven't been for a few years but I went to many games at both stadiums and I personally never received more then dirty looks and good natured heckling and light trash talk but then I wasn't obnoxious and only talked trash back when I received some (of course watched my language as there are kids around). Same goes for the opposing fans that I saw at RES, they'd get heckled a bit but nothing out of bounds, well except for one kid who had a throw back Steve Young jersery with a oversized straight brimmed Yankee hat on tilted and a huge fake platinum cross necklace and fake diamond studs in his ears, he didn't say a lot but drew attention to himself by looking like a tool and so a lot of heckles, left the stadium early, too bad for him cause it was the Harline TD game.

It's funny that so many BYU fans still play the "beer" card after Max Hall's comments. It just shows such a willingness to fall in line with whatever they've been told. As YB already mentioned, beer is not sold at RES and like YB, I have never seen anybody successfully sneak it in. Nevermind the fact that Max Hall flat-out lied about the beer incident (classy move btw), let's just go ahead and keep assuming that sort of stuff happens. Anytime BYU has won @ Utah, I've never seen news reports of beatings or any other serious conflicts. The fact of the matter is, BYU fans have been attending games @ RES for years, rooting on their team, and going home safely afterwards.
General rule of thumb: If you're going to wear opposing teams gear into an away stadium, be ready to take your lumps. While nobody deserves to be physically assaulted, you shouldn't get a free pass either.

What about if there was a fan like that at a Dodgers game of San Francisco 49ers game?

I dont know Arch. I dont attend Dodger or Niner games. My personal opinion is that violence is never ok in those type of situations but heckling is.

I don't believe everyone has had a chance to vote in this poll. Hey mods, how about re-stickying this for a while just to make sure everyone gets a chance to vote. I'm thinking about a year should be long enough.
