Idjets at the ballpark.
May 23, 2008

I live in Florida. I've been to Fenway for 15 games in my life. I know Sawx fans are amongst the most knowledgeable anywhere, no question. However, why are the people there so oblivious to the game, i.e., interfering in others view of the game. You get up or return to your seat between pitches, between batters or other breaks in the action. Baseball has OBVIOUS pauses. That is when you depart or return to your seat. I had a man standing in front of me, while the game was going on, looking at his ticket trying to figure out where he was sitting. I asked him to move, & he replied, " I paid as much for my tickets as you did". I said to him, " Good., as soon as you find your seat, let me know, so I can stand in front of you". Christ, at Florida Marlins games (with all 13,000 people) the ushers don't allow you back to your seats during play. It just doesn't seem like anyone has any consideration for anyone else. It would embarrass me if I was blocking anyone else from seeing the game. Aren't we supposed to be in this together?

	I agree with you 100%. People constantly walked by me during the game. 05/23/2008 10:17 AM

Well, if everyone got up to leave their seats at the same time there'd be back ups everywhere. It's bad enough as it is. Especially in the bleacher area. They definitely could use more stairs out there. Also, I've never been to Marlins stadium, but I'm guessing there's more room there then there is at Fenway. There must be places where people can wait to be seated (as if they are at the opera) and still see the game, that's not possible at Fenway. At Fenway it's hard to stand anywhere and not be in someone's way. I know I hate it when someone's in my way when they are trying to figure out where their seat is, but then I look around and realize if they weren't in my way they'd be in someone else's way. There's not much that can be done about it. As much as I don't like it, it is part of being at Fenway. The only way to avoid it is to stay home and watch on TV. ...View More

	That's why my seats are in the middle of the row. It's a bit of a pain getting out at the end of the game, if it should go "down to the wire"... but I'm lucky by NOT being on the aisle. On the other hand, the folks who purchase the "walkway advisory" loge box seats do have a legitimate beef when people dilly-dally in the aisle, blocking their view. ...View More...View Less 05/23/2008 5:56 PM

I'm with you on this one. I couldn't believe it when we were at the last game when bases were loaded, two out, and Papi comes to the plate. The people who were seated a few seats from us came back from the concession stand and couldn't wait for Papi to bat before they came into the row. NO!!! They had to make all of us stand up RIGHT THEN and there, thereby blocking our view, and we blocked the view of the people behind us (sorry). They couldn't even wait for one pitch or a break--Papi steps out of the box a lot--they had to come right then! The guy behind me, who was very knowledgeable about baseball, leaned over to me and said, "D'ya think they're ever been to a game before?" With tickets as scarce as they are, you'd think we could be a little more courteous. I mean, we don't have to act like we're at the bloomin' opera, but just a little courtesy? ...View More
