Giants Fans Make Themselves At Home, Dodgers Fans Right Behind Them
An article by Craig Lerner
In this photo from Yahoo Sports taken during last nights game, you can see evidence of what you probably heard during the game’s broadcast which was a crowd where San Francisco Giants fans far outnumbered Mets fans at Citi Field.
The Mets didn’t roll out the red carpet for them, but the black and orange outfield walls surely made the loud and proud Giants fans feel right at home.
Even the weather cooperated and gave the Giants faithful a chilly evening that made for some wonderful hot chocolate sales at the concession windows.
It was hard to tell if the Mets fans that did show up mounted any type of counter attack to the “Let’s Go Giants” and “Tim-meee” chants because there were too few of them to be heard.
And this was just the warm up act for the main attraction – the Los Angeles Dodgers – who roll into their home away from home, this weekend.

I’m sure the Wilpon’s will be wearing their Sandy Koufax jerseys this weekend to greet the Dodgers.
Instead of blaming the color scheme maybe we should blame all of those who watched SNY last night and left all those open seats the Giant fans could buy?
Yes, because all of us watching on SNY last night are some 20 something year old with no responsibilities that live in the city, just a hop, skip and a jump from the 7 train.
Get. A. Clue.
No offense, but was this really necessary? Please don’t tell me we’re gonna start posting all that silly garbage that has nothing to do with the game or the players? We already have a site that posts garbage like this incessantly, lets not add to the fray. May fans buy blocks of tickets at group rates. One year me and another 49 fans went to go see the Phillies as one group and that part of their Veterans Stadium looked like Shea. This is nonsense.
