The Blue Jays new $2 ticket promotion has definitely gotten butts in the seats, but the problem is, they aren't staying in their seats and are actually causing fights so the Jays are calling in the popo for the next three $2 nights to keep things in check. They are also removing alcohol from the equation making the upper deck the sober section for the May 6th game against Rays, the May 20th game against the Angels and the June 10th game against the Mariners. I would figure that when you play the Devil-less Rays and the Angels, fans would be on their best behavior anyway, but apparently I was wrong. (And I have nothing witty to say for the Mariners, so insert your own joke here.)
Since the $2 nights have been in place, there have been almost 100 fan injections for what was deemed “alcohol related” incidents. Plus a male and a female fan were ejected after running onto the field topless. Now if you add them to the “alcohol related” incidents you must be at 100, right? Now thanks to these kind fans, the Blue Jays are considering scrapping the whole cheap-ticket idea in the future. Damn you drunks, you’re always so much fun until you start throwing up on the sidewalk and ruin it for the rest of us.
Goodness, could you imagine if bat night coincided with $2 night, it would be worse than when $1 hot dog night coincided with College Night at Citizens Bank Park. And there were a lot of unattended hot dogs in the stands and also a lot of them thrown at some moron in an Eli Manning jersey. Could you imagine if College Night coincided with free battery night, it would bring a whole new meaning to retro night at CBP.
