"Who has better fans, the blue jays of tfc?"
maybe one day people will realize that going to a Jays game and going to a TFC
game are very different things? Just like going to the Leafs is different from going
to the Argos. Sheesh. Slow news day over there? Any point in discussion?
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Blue Jays have better boosters.
We are better supporters.
Leave it.

those old ladies with the AM radios who fill out all the stats in the back of the programmes? Those ladies rock!

Ya make friends and maybe they share their baked goods they sneak in..
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
if there's one thing I cant stand it's the "Who has better fans?" argument. Especially comparing Toronto teams to eachother. I like going to Blue Jays games... so am I a better fan at TFC games than I am at Bluejays games? How so?
I love baked good.
Seriously though, there was a jays game (boston in town) at the same time as the World Cup Final. who plans these things?

like I said in my first post, they are different events. Must be slow in Toronto blog-land with the G20 news slowing down.

A fan is a 'fanatic', is it not?
So that 'lady who fills out the stats' who has season tickets and attends 82 games a year is not as big a fan as you.
Do you think you're better because you sing?
who are you talking to? no one in this thread said that. way to put words in someone's mouth.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
You. You're making backhanded comments about older people who fill out the scoring sheets.
You're delusional...
"...those ladies rock..." How dare someone compliment them...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
At least they didnt ask who has the best supporters
TFC made me like the Jays again.
I always wanted baseball to be jump out of your seat exciting, like the football matches I'd been to overseas. Then when TFC came around, I got that fix and it made me realize that baseball's not about that. Baseball is about chilling in the summer. Get a beer and a hot dog and watch sports - it's amazing.
As for the "who's better" argument. Please - a lot of them are the same people and at the end of the day, most are the usual Toronto sports fan.
I'm making backhanded comments? Not at all, but thanks for coming out.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Agreed...
I rarely, basically never, watch the Jays on the tube - but I love going to games in the summer and just relaxing (as long as the Dome is open)...
Beer, hotdog, relax in the sun and chill - that's a good day at the ballpark...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
exactly. going to a baseball game is a totally different experience from going to see TFC.
I was hoping that this thread would point out how there's no point in comparing them, like BlogTO is going with that poll.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Exactly. It's not a ra-ra sport. It's more about hanging out.
I do enjoy the games on TV though - not the kind of thing you intently watch. It's more like something on in the background.
Plus - baseball playoffs are great.
I dig the game on the radio, if you're at a cottage or relaxing in the backyard.
There are very few sports that work as well as baseball on the radio.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Anytime. Please continue to report on stories you don't believe are news-worthy. Is there anything in the Oakville Beaver you don't believe should've made it to print?
These are things we need to know.
Ya, baseball on the radio - or even just having the TV audio up high enough to hear it outside is perfect in the summer...
Its the perfect chill background noise...
It would be nice if the Jays were a little more competitive, but hey, beggers can't be choosers...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
actually it was about the absurdity of comparing two very different experiences.
Maybe I'll go find an article explaining that Legally Blond The Musical is nothing at all like sing Kris Kristoferson at Casino Rama. But clearly one of them as to be better, or else there wouldn't be a poll!

Oh and you can't discount the unfortunate state that is Skydome. A great facility built right at the end of the multi-purpose stadium era.
Imagine if the Jays played in a wrigley type stadium? It would be amazing.
The best part of that blog was that it wasn't even a blog. It was a fucking poll. Uber wack.
And Troll. STFU pal, your attempts to troll are soft as rotten berries. I'm the only one who gets to slap Parkdale in the face with his own stupidity and I only get to do it when its justified.
Get your own prison bitch pal, leave mine out of this.
it's an amazing stadium, but just like you said, from a very different time.
When it was being built, I doubt anyone would have seen the advantages
to a BMO field sized venue for soccer or CFL teams. Funny how that's changed.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Southern Ontario has been the victim of two sports venues built and tail end of an era...
SkyDome was completed, just as you said, when the multipurpose, modern style ballparks was ending...
Sport specific grounds began just as the Skydome enjoyed its glory run (thanks to not only the stadium, but the fact the Jays were the best team in baseball)...
Also in that boat - Hamilton's Copps Coliseum... Designed and built before the era of private boxes and "executive seating" dominating NHL rinks - Copps was built like an old school rink of seats & stairs - not 'club levels and elevators' etc...

+1
of coures BlogTO would find it necessary to compare fans within a city of different sports.
it's not like saying Mets v Yankees fans or something. which would make sense. because nobody supports them as a pair.
I goto/watch jays and tfc games.... am i better than myself? probably.
You suffer from an irritable vagina.
i enjoy both.
i go to about 25 - 30 jays games a year and very rarely miss a game on tv. i'm what you'd call a jays fanatic i guess.
i love going to TFC games too and when both teams are playing, i choose TFC simply because theres less games, if i miss a Jays game, i can just go tomorrow....not the case with TFC.
but if i had to choose where i'd rather be, it'd be at a jays game if the dome was open.
the dome was great when it was built, but then along came Camden Yards and that changed everything.
the jays need a ballpark like PNC park in Pittsburgh and it'd make the gameday experience alot more enjoyable. We all also need to forget the Ricciardi era, as it was full of letdowns.
BMO should be rocking for the playoffs though
sigh...so do i,
but its not cool for you to talk about peoples wives like that.
