Wow! That's saying a lot... Red Sox Nation turns up everywhere: Seattle, Oakland, Tampa Bay, etc. Seriously, Baltimore was literally swimming in Red Sox red this weekend. We could only go to the Friday and Saturday games, but most people we talked to were attending all three games. I noticed an unusually big contingent of Red Sox fans from Maine and Rhode Island, BTW. Every restaurant, mall, food court, hotel, etc. we stopped into this weekend was filled with Red Sox fans. Our hotel was 30 min. outside of the city... parking lot was full of cars with Red Sox bumper stickers. It was just unbelievable.
Sometime I want to see a Red Sox game at Toronto. Sure, it might not be as nice looking as Camden Yards, but $2 tickets at the Rogers Centre are hard to beat. Plus, the traffic going to and from Baltimore from MA is just awful from what I've heard.
$2 tickets?! Actually, check in with FReeper "NudistFreeperDad"... he gets his Tampa Bay D'Rays/Tropicana Field tix (Red Sox, Yankees, whoever) FREE from Publix Supermarket and Checkers Burgers in the Tampa area.
We actually didn't encounter any traffic problems at all, but we were heading north early Sunday afternoon. During the summer (before the kids head back to school in September) I-95 can be just awful though, from what we've experienced.
Every tuesday, Toronto has a ticket special; upper deck seating for $2 (in Canadian money, too). Not sure how much tickets cost for better seats, but even in the upper sections, the view isn't too bad. I've been to Toronto once, and while there was no game, I got to see the playing field from the Hard Rock Cafe in right field, which is about the same distance as the upper sections.
I live in MD a bit south of Baltimore, So I’ve see the Sox / O’s 5 times this year. This year more than any other, Camden Yards is Fenway South.
You can’t blame the O’s fans for not showing up, it’s not like Angelos gives them anything to root for. Even when there were hot, hardly anybody thought they’d be in the hunt come September. Not going after Bernette and the Palmerio situation sealed the deal.
