Away fans at Baseball

[1878NHLYR]

I noticed at last nights game that there seemed to be quite a lot of Jays fans in the stadium.

 

Is that usual? Do you receive an allocation of tickets or just buy them off the home team website?

 

And finally do you ever get any trouble for being an away fan amongst the home fans?

The reason you see Jays fans at nearly every stadium is because any Canadian that lives in those cities will buy a ticket. Jays are Canada's team, especially since the Expos moved. As to you last question, baseball isn't nearly as fan crazy soccer hooligans like in england where you can get stabbed for rooting for Everton at a Man U game The odd drunk might give you a hard time, but for the most part "trouble" doesn't show up at baseball games

Cheers for that maahface so the Jays are popular through Canada then?

 

Things have changed here now, not much trouble these days since they clamped down and started putting people in prison for it, you'd still get a lot of abuse if you sat in with home fans though.

Speaking of this, anyone else see that Blue Jays fan with an Hechavarria jersey? I'm wondering if it was Grant or maybe Juiced because it's hard to imagine many people that would spend money on such a thing.

I get all my away tickets off StubHub or another site....wherever the tickets are cheapest.

 

I've never got in trouble at a game. But then again I rarely wear either teams gear when at the games. (Eg. if I'm in Pittsburgh and they're playing the Cardinals, I may be wearing an Angels or Astros jersey.

lol wasn't me. I wouldn't have bought a jersey until he was a regular!

Remember how many Jays fans were in Seattle last year? There were more Jays fans than Mariners fan. Imagine how it will be like this year considering the team is actually good.

If stupid MLB didn't put Jays in Minni in May it would have been huge as well. Saw Jays fans every where when I went a couple years ago.
