Before this story even begins I feel the need to start with this disclaimer. I enjoy some tailgating, the smell of freshly barbecued food, a nice ice-cold beer and the company of fans and friends alike. Nothing starts off an event like some fun games, some music, and yes maybe even getting a little bit tipsy. Hey I’m human, and like most I love a good party. However what has been going on lately before, during and after Phillies games at Citizens Bank Park, is no party!
“You can tell the people who are here strictly for baseball, they usually arrive about a half hour before the game” was a quote used by a female friend of mine who also is a Phillies regular and is a very close follower of the game. The rest I have to say looked as if they are more there for an outdoor circus then to watch a ballgame. The amount of people clearly blinded by alcohol consumption or whatever other activity they partake in is unreal. A guy next to me claimed ” I don’t care all that much about going into the game, let’s face it, it’s all about being out here (in the parking lot)”.
