Reminds me of Seattle. When the Boo Heys play here people from Vancouver just about take over the ballpark. At least they’re polite...
Only in D.C. would you rather not sell tickets than sell tickets.
Philadelphia fans have a reputation for being a**holes wherever they go. Why do you suppose that is?
StubHub, tons of DC area fans bought extra tics and put them up on StubHub, no lack of Phillie Phans this past weekend.
Go to any ball park when the Red Sox are in town - anywhere in the country - and you’ll see a huge number of Red Sox fans there. I was watching the Red Sox play in Chicago at U.S. Cellular Field and even the radio broadcasters were commenting that it both looked and sounded more like a home game at Fenway.
Looks like his plan failed...
Phillies 9 Nationals 3
Same thing happens when the Raiders play the Chargers in San Diego.Raider thugs,er, fans, descend, bedecked in chains, spikes,and leather.
Philadelphia morons are the lowest of low. No one would want them!
Yeah - at the Prudential Center (aka THE ROCK) where NJ Devils play have to contend with offensive NY Ranger scum
because tickets too expensive at Madison Square Garden
We need some Phila. fans on here to plead our case. We’re not all a**holes.
That used to be a way for us Giants fans to get to see our guys play; go to a road game against a less than successful team. Given the astronomical prices here for scalped tickets you might even save a few bucks. Not so much any more, though!
I was born in 1959 and grew up in Newtown Square, 10 miles west of Philly. I have loved the Phillies passionately since their days of playing in Connie Mack Stadium under Gene Mauch.I had many memorable moments in the Vet. I was at Game 4 of the 93 Series, which the Phils lost 15-14. I was heartbroken when the incomparable Harry Kalas passed away, and two of my most memorable moments were meeting Steve Carlton in a Woolworths in Cooperstown, and meeting the late Richie Ashburn in a pizza joint outside Philly. I now live in Laurel, MD, and try to get to a Phils-Nats game in DC every year. Two years ago I was there when Ryan Zimmerman hit a walkoff home run off Brad Lidge. I turned my jersey inside out! I am also a passionate Eagles fan, though haven’t gone to a lot of their games because of cost, and because of obnoxious, drunken fans. The atmosphere at a Phils game is much different than at an Eagles game. Phils fans are crazy passionate, but generally well behaved compared to Eagles fans. The worst fans at Phillies games were Mets fans. I will own up to Eagles fans at the Link being obnoxious, but Phils fans are not. I’m as conservative as they come, am a lifelong Phillies/Eagles fan, but am not an obnoxious fan. In the DC area, the lousy Redskins get all of the attention. The Nats are an up and coming team, and success will build their fan base.
Cubs fans do the same in Cincinnati, every Reds home game against the Cubs.
