When I went it was like 10 percent. I wasn't in the upper deck though. Those are probably the easy seats to get last minute. They aren't regular Mets fans though. Half of them are spite Phillies fans. They know nothing about the Mets. I've talked to some of these people lol Trust me, no one's traveling that far to be in a stadium that has a court inside of it. It's usually just people in between who are like an hour away. Both teams have lots of bandwagoners at this time of the season. Yeah. When I went it was like 10 percent.

So few Phillies fans who go to there own games are even from Philly and they're still pretty vile lol I go there because it's only like a half hour from where I live. Either stadium is okay as long as you aren't looking for attention. I know some people don't like the fights, but that's part of what makes the game entertaining. Seeing random losers get ejected. Or drunks curse lol The real challenge will be can the intensity hold at this when football season starts. Your right.

The only way to get people to go to a game is if they do it themselves. If Queens were a little closer and you didn't have to drive through Manhattan or Staten Island to get there, you'd see more Phillies fans at Shea earlier in the year. As the year goes on and the tension rises, more Phillies fans come. There are more Mets fans at Phillies games because there are more people in the NY area than Philly area. There's more Philly fans in between NY and Philly though because so much of it's eaten up by Yankees fans. If you guy's think they'll be like 500/57,000 than get a blindfold. They'll be at least 6 or 7 thousand. Don't expect them to be together. Expect them to be drunk and obnoxious. Just hope they have a designated driver.

Simply because they're annoyances. Even Mets fans in Philly. They used to do this kind of thing with the Yankees with the Orioles. It's usually a bunch of drunks who shout like there is no tomorrow. They don't even know what they're yelling about lol They usually ruin the game for the home fans who are sitting there. You're much better off being scattered around the stadium I'd recommend not wearing too much Mets stuff in Philly unless you got thick skin to handle a little cursing. Making sure you're like one of those mothers with eyes on the back of there head when you're in the bathroom too lol I've never really seen too many incidents with Mets fans starting trouble with Phillies fans at Shea, but this weekend it's possible.

I don't know of any 20 year old with 4 kid's lol I'm hoping no one else does either. The Phillies fans used to give Wagner brutal treatment because of Pat Burrell and Arthur Rhodes taking jabs at him. They tried throwing a battery at J.D. Drew for not wanting to sign with them lol It took that much from Rocker to get us to boil. Could you imagine what would have happened if he said something like that about Philly. Anyway, here it is lol "It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
