But what about the mentality of those watching the game from the stands? Well, that still remains a big question mark. Recently, Morgan Riddle shared her ‘scary’ experience at the Super Bowl LVIII during the match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

Although her stories have brought in plenty of supportive messages, several others have also now got the courage to share their horrifying experiences while attending NFL games. One of them wrote, “I went to the SuperBowl at ages and 15 and I wanted to enjoy it. But I felt so uncomfortable it was sad. Sports need female fans but literally refuse to make room or change behavior.

While the others called it “deeply upsetting” seeing her fun experience get ruined this way. This incident perhaps might now bring several questions to the minds of all female sports lovers who wish to experience this beautiful game live from the stadiums.
