False. The Phillies have great fans. They also have the lowest quality of fans in that a good amount of them are terrible people, but they fill the seats...

also it was like 105 degrees yesterday

Tough economy

Nicky Santoro · 08-25-10, 10:43 AM

not sure, but isn't TB worse?? best team in baseball and that place alwys seems empty.

montreal was like this too back in early 2000's.. it killed me.

we were 1 game out of 1st place in sept and we'd be on a 7 game winning streak after going 8-1 on road trip. we'd come home and i'd expect 50,000 fans and guess what?? 8,348 fans.. and in July when spos were 2 games out of 1st and Randy Johnson in town pitching for Arizona... 4,231 fans.. no joke... (and mtl has 4 million people)

this happened each night near the end of the spos days here..

It was 118 degrees on the field for the first pitch.

Yeah I live near Arlington and it isn't a matter of us being excited and wanting to go.. It's the matter of it still being 100 degrees at 9 and that stadium isn't exactly welcoming cooler air.. If you haven't been in 110 degree weather in the middle of Texas where your skin burns in less than 5 minutes then it's hard to really say anything about it.. It comes down to a choice of wanting to broil for 3 hours or wanting to sit in AC and watching them on tv every game.. I've chosen tv

Haha Montreal was good stuff though. Used to go up there for weekend series and sit wherever the fuk you want for like ten bucks, which was only like $6 USD back then. Then on Sunday's they had like a kids special or some shit where if you were under 16 tix were one fukking dollar

I miss those days.

Its too hot in TX to sit outside for a game.

Thats why our football plays in a dome.

It's clearly Bush's fault

haha...i understand the hot angle really..they should reduce prices of refreshments..

Popular · 08-25-10, 12:38 PM

Lol so they should lower the price of drinks that will get you dehydrated even faster?

kontradictor · 08-25-10, 12:59 PM

I live in Dallas also and I agree the heat is the main issue keeping the seats from filling up. Last game I went to the high was 103.... I woulda passed out if it weren't for beer!

PS: They did just reduce the price of one refreshment at the ball park.... Hot Chocolate is now only $1

starfire · 08-25-10, 01:00 PM

Who wants to sit in 100 degree weather...

Popular · 08-25-10, 01:02 PM

Last year at this time it just seemed much cooler at night than it is this year.. I remember going to the last 3 1 dollar hot dog nights and was more than comfortable in right field.. This year I've been to one 2 weeks ago and I still feel dehydrated

hockeyman30304 · 08-25-10, 01:15 PM

Haha I live down here and the rangers are the only team I like...Idk maybe its too hot outside it was 106 2 days ago....

The Rangers have an exciting team..frontrunners for the MVP and Cy Young and they cant draw a decent crowd to save their life.. I know football is king in dallas, but baseball should get more love considering how their team has exceed expectations this year...Agree?

dude unless you are from Texas , keep your mouth shut

Brock Landers · 08-25-10, 02:01 PM

i love the excuses

it was hot

the economy sucks, are you kidding me? fukking 85% of people are FULLY EMPLOYED like nothing ever happened.

The team just has no fan base.

Popular · 08-25-10, 02:04 PM

Brock have you lived in weather where it's constantly 105+ from 11 in the morning to 10 at night?

that is about 2% of the reason, tampa rays are in first place and nobody goes to the games. it is the people that don't really care about baseball. the home opener at the the university of texas versus mary sister school for the blind in september would draw a sell out if it was 100 in the shade, no question about it.
