Both are pretty amazing places to watch games.
Games between Salisbury and WAC aka the War on the Shore are intense no matter where they are played. By the time visiting players make it to the field, they are covered in beer and have been heckled by some of the most creative and inebriated hecklers this side of Canada.
The Phily Wings' fans (being Philly sports fans) are obnoxious and rude. I wouldn't have it any other way!
In the NESCAC I always thought my Wesleyan fans were some of the best hecklers and the inflatable pool by the side of the field always resulted in some pretty good stuff. The kids at Bates were always pretty boisterous too although the Bobcats are generally awful at sports so no one takes much heed to what their second string DE was yelling.
I always thought Harvard-Yale games would get better stuff. I mean those kids are smart AND like to have a good time but I think they just spent too much time comparing gold button blazers or something to come up with anything really good.
If you want to see some heckling though, I would suggest that you go to upstate NY and check out a Cortland State vs. Ithaca tilt. private vs. public. red vs. blue. 20 minutes away from each other? truly can't be beat and the kids just let each other have it so you not only see a top notch lax game but you also get to hear some offensive and truly outrageous heckling.

Rams fans are into heckling and taking things a bit too far from time to time. Just the way I like it! On that note, CU and DU fans were pretty rowdy at the games I went to too. I guess it's that Rocky Mountain High: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwARpaKHx_w

They make everything look and feel real official. Probably more than any other MCLA team.

Nothing like having a camera crew in your face while you're warming up.

Talk about distraction. One of the coolest venues I've played in would be Klockner stadium at UVa. When we got crushed by them it was under the lights with a full moon. Pretty sweet set up they've got going. As for being heckled, the best story I've ever heard of was from one of my buddies who was heckling so bad the cops were called!

There are definitely a few other schools in California where you are pretty much playing right on the beach too. Probably not the loudest place because the fans are are sunbathing but a different kind of distraction all together.

School sponsored parties with bikini clad coeds everywhere. Against UCSB & LMU there was a giant water slide on the endline. The entire campus puts on a swimsuit and heads to the party/lax game.
