Huge crowds this weekend?

[Frobby]

I'm thinking this might be the largest attendance weekend of the season, given how the Orioles are playing and the proximity of Philadephia to Baltimore. I'll put the over/under at 115,000 for the three games. What say you?

[waroriole]

I'll say under. Philly fans are fair weather at best, and the Phils are struggling. Also, prime prices could keep folks away. But, nice weather, school being out and a team close by could make it packed. Plus, they could be watching their 1st place Baltimore Orioles.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I'll be there on Friday.

I would guess a lot of Phillies fans bought tickets before the season started. They certainly travel to DC, much to Nats fans' annoyance. Baltimore is half the distance.

I'll be there on Friday.

Thanks.

So 115,000 is 38,333 people per game.

I'll take the over.

Friday 36,862.

Saturday 39,987

Sunday 40,765

117k

What if they announce Roberts will be playing Friday night? I think attendance would bump up a little for that too

[thanks for planting that seed in my mind Frobby]

My rep said pre sale tickets were very high for friday/saturday.

100,000+ would be safe.

By the way, the Phillies are about to be swept in their 4 game-series vs. the Dodgers in their home park. The Dodgers just added 4 more runs to their lead, and are still batting in the top of the 9th, up 8-3.

The Phillies fans are booing. Tune in to watch the finish if you like watching them be unhappy. .:laughlol:

Nothing against the Phillies. Not old enough to have a rational to hate them. Now those Pirates. There's an irrational hatred for them for some reason.

I don't hate the Phillies either. I don't care about them one way or another. I know that some here do though, so I was giving them a hand.

There's very few seats left on Ticketmaster for Friday, fwiw

Although only 5 years old at the time of the 79 World Series, I will forever hate the Pirates because of it!
