    grudgingly, I say more power to the phils. when you sell every fucking game of your season at 103.5% of capacity :shock: , you deserve a winner. their fans are apparently not only willing to buy every over priced seat, they're willing to STAND while they drink their $8 ($10?) beers. Meanwhile, you have the Reds making their first playoff push in 15 years and they sell 60% of their tickets. same with the padres. fuck 'em. support your team; line your owner's wallet and maybe they'll get you some players.

    look at the top of this list. ALL competitive (except for the cubs :lol: )

    No way Phils can trade for or sign all these pitchers without that kind of support.

    We're probably only above the Red Sox because there are many more SRO tixx.

    Craft beers were $7.25 last year; cheaper than BMC Lite in most stadiums.

    At least 16 ounces. High & Inside Pub is where it's at - 20 ouncers for the same price. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say beers will be at least 7.75 next year. At least.

    16 oz. I've seen 20 or 24 oz beers, but it kind of gets warm at the end anyway, so better to just get a new one after 16 methinks. Craft beers include Victory Prima Pils, Yards Phila. Pale Ale, etc. Can't wait!

    Oh yeah, all those sellouts came in what was often 95+ degree weather. Hottest summer I can ever remember. And for those not from the Northeast, it doesn't cool down any at night either.

    Yeah, those die hard atlanta fans are funny.

    I remember hearing about how there were tons of available tickets for the Atlanta and Philly games in SF. This is off the top of my head, so I could be full of shit

    I second this.

    I thought I heard about Giants games not selling out, maybe they sold out the last day or something.

    San Fran sold out, but a lot of it was day-of or thereabouts. Point being not being sold out in August. I know they started selling tix in the auxiliary press box all the way up in left field at half-price because half the reports didn't want to sit all the way up in no man's land. That aux box was ridiculous.

    like it said in the link ... parity is about equal distribution of talent and financial flexibility ... pointing to the number of teams that have been in the world series does not show parity ...

    the high and inside pub has been turned into a majestic clubhouse dude. saw it at game 2 for the reds series. so pissed. that was huge benefit of the 420 or so section behind home plate.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.....WHAT?!?!!?

    I was up there for game 1 and they were selling merch, but I didn't see anything about a permanent change.

    No, yeah, I remember the place being littered with shit, but I'm hoping this was just a move during the playoffs. I'm figuring they knew they could make more money off merch after games than people sitting in there for beers. Because no one goes to the concessions while the game is going on. Either way, my heart will ache if this is true.

    I think that was a temporary change to sell merch in the playoffs.

    I sat in 421 for Game 2 vs. Giants and, yes, those are awesome seats.
