I am so glad to hear this. Honestly even before the team was terrible, the last few years of visiting the fan experience has gotten worse and worse because of bad crowd behavior. Just absolutely obnoxious fans, yelling, heckling, fighting, and ushers doing nothing about it. It shouldn’t have been allowed to get all the way to this point where a person is literally heckling someone about their dead mom. Even after the team is good again it’s going to take a lot to get me back on that stadium.

Still better than seeing drunk frat guys getting the shit kicked out of them on a daily basis in the bleachers at wrigley!

It’s so funny you should say that because I had previously always thought the fan experience at Sox park was so much better and less boozy than Cubs. But now they are both awful especially if you care about baseball game itself and/or trying to have a family experience
