Danny ChaiWhoa there. I’m not a Giants fan, and I don’t know what the atmosphere is like in SBC Park now, but growing up, everyone in the Bay Area mocked people who left in the 7th inning. That was (and is) representative of L.A. Not here.
I hated the crowd that went to Giants games after Pac Bell Park opened. They weren’t fans of sports, they were fans of trends. I remember getting irritated when a certain friend, who was never into sports before, suddenly got really into the Giants thanks to his corporate tickets. Made me ill. It was different in Candlestick, with the swirling winds where you could freeze and get a sunburn at the same time. That was more representative of Bay Area sports fans, the ones who actually came out for the sports. Real.
I know it’s not the same as in places where there’s nothing else to do but watch sports, but I think Bay Area fans are decent. Like attendance at Warrior games is still really good. That’s dedication and loyalty.
