the stadium treats red sox / yankees fans better than orioles fans…its sad.
Baltimore Orioles Questions
Yeah, I tend to notice there was a crap load more red sox fans then orioles fans. I thought that was funny.
Unfortunetly, because of the O's losing seasons, the fans just aren't coming out to the games. It's sad.
I grew up an O's fan and will stay an O's fan and continue to support the team…
Boston and the Yankees have had winning seasons, so they have a bunch of fair weather fan followers. Not to mention that it's cheaper for their fans to come to B'more for the games, then to go to their own stadiums.

Even with $4 gas?

Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes,Japanese Golfer:many of them are flying down. and have you checked out the prices of tickets to Fenway lately? Perhaps for one game its more expensive to come here, but for 3, its getting close to even. And besides, Fenway is a crap hole!!

As for "fair weather fans"….i know lots of people in Baltimore who love the Orioles but dont go to the games cause they suck and dont try to get good players. But, they say, if the Orioles got a good team, they would come back and watch.
Is that fair weather? If so, i would imagine more than half of sports fans fall into that category.
I think that excuse is crap. The Cubs are just starting to come around, and people didn't abandon that team.
The O's have a good team this year. Their pitching has really turned around. The bats need to wake up a little, but most all of the games this year have been great.

and yes, that is "fair weather".
thats fine, i was just asking! those are the same ppl that trash talk the city and still have Ehrlich stickers on their cars anyway. fuck em.
but i can sort of understand not wanting to pay money to see a team that sucks.
I suppose if a band i liked put out a crappy album , i might skip the next show. course, being a Boston Bruins fan means you can never call ME fairweather…

It's a nice ball park. I'm going to try and catch a Yankees game there and see how ridiculous the amount of Yankees fans there will be at the game considering it's a home game for the O's. Probably pay 30 bucks for parking this time. Great.
fan's are not coming out to nat's games. they should be gone in a couple of years. and dc will have a big unused stadium.
they nats are doing ok attendancewise. they should have more money to spend on players soon, though
Originally posted by god's shoeshine:right, but that's because of the new stadium. once people have seen the venue once or twice, it'll have to be the team that draws in the crowd. hopefully revenue from this temporary attendance bump will be re-invested in talent before it's too late…

Actually, Cubs fans are baseball fans. It's fun going to Wrigley b/c everyone is so into the game :)

dodger fans (and most fans of l.a. teams in general), they don't know what's going on.
At the O's game a couple of weeks ago, I saw a guy reading an art museum program while wearing crocs.
Originally posted by sweetcell:they'll have to (and thats what i said) because they have no history here. i'm actually going to give them the benefit of the doubt here, but also remember they have all of the transplants that like to see their howntown team in the area as well
