Dodgers fans are jerks | 
I just got back from the Cardinals-Dodgers game tonight. I’m extremely angry, disappointed and a bit violated and it has NOTHING to do with the scoreboard.
Dodgers fans are a-holes. Not all of them. I met many really nice Dodgers fans. But for every nice fan, there was a fan throwing food at me, bumping me on purpose on the concourse or trying to start a fight with my boyfriend. What is the matter with them?
I wanted to go to the game and have fun, regardless of whether we won. But now I wish I had just stayed home. I’m actually nervous about going to the game tomorrow because tonight was so miserable. First of all: grow up, Dodgers fans. We weren’t doing anything obnoxious, yet you think it’s awesome to throw food at us. Secondly, what is your effing problem? I’ve been to several games at Wriglely Field and have YET to have food thrown at me.
Finally… you should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves. I had to call security on your fans. Think about that.

Baseball Digest Classic Discussion: Higher Standards – Part III
Kirk Verner provides Part III of our series on players as role models, an ideal he has a hard time accepting.
Classy of the Los Angeles faithful, that’s for sure. It takes a lot to get Ms. Reiher fired up to this magnitude, it’s a bit disturbing to see a true blue Cardinal fan put anyone lower on her list than a Cubs fan.
My first thought it… “Suck IT!” But, thats likely because I am a Dodger fan (from Alaska, so I wasn’t at the game) but the throwing food stuff is disturbing. What a waste! And at quite the cost! I was lucky enough to go to my first game this summer and the prices were (as expected) ridiculous!
I wouldn’t ever “bump” a woman… purposefully…
But on behalf of all alaskan dodger fans I apologize. While every team has a fan base that is a cordial, knowledgeble baseball fan, the Dodgers seem to have a ton on the “I’m here to get drunk” fan. You should be ok as long as you dont sit in the pavilion.
Oh yeah, in our home opener someone was stabbed in the parking lot… just FYI.
I would like to apologize on behalf of the dodgers, this is unacceptable behavior. Name calling, making fun of, good natured stuff is one thing, but throwing food, and physical contact is another. I wouldn’t hesitate to call\text security if there was a problem.
Andrea,
I don’t have a decent explanation for why this happens at Dodger stadium, but I will say that the majority of the fans behave well. I try to do my part at the stadium to tell the unruly fans to cut it out. I too will be at the game today, so at least one Dodger fan will have your back.
Thanks for kind words, guys. I know not all fans are like that, I’ve just never been so mad about going to a game. I’m sitting in the Pavilion today and I am completely serious when I say I’m nervous/scared.
Hopefully everything goes alright. I’d just like to enjoy a baseball game, even if we lose.
As a dodger fan I am embarrassed by the way most of those fans acted and I apologize for all Dodger fans.
It may seem a bit elitist to say this but…get better seats.
Last night I sat on the field level waaaay down the third base side (not great seats, but good enough to keep the jerks out) and while the Cardinal fans sitting near me were heckled when they went up and down the aisles, there wasn’t one morsel of food thrown.
Rules of thumb – stay far far away from the pavilion and try to avoid the reserve level seats way down the line.
Andrea,
I’ve been going to Dodger games for 35 years, but less and less each year for exactly this reason. I’m (obviously) a Dodger fan, but I find the stadium experience to be worse every year. The number of jerks has increased and I just find it unpleasant. Sorry you became a target.
Nick, that is exactly the attitude I would expect from the a-hole fans I’ve encountered. I should be able to buy seats anywhere and still be treated with respect. I don’t really even understand the booing/heckling. We don’t do that in St. Louis.
I’ve bought the CHEAPEST Wrigley seats and still didn’t have this kind of crap.
Today we sat in the Pavilion and it was actually better than the Reserve seats, but still not very good. We still got food thrown at us and people were heckling a 12 year-old girl and her father (Cards fans) who were there.
I just don’t understand it. They are also the most ungracious winners I’ve ever encountered.
The only reason Dodgers fans aren’t yet as bad as Phillies fans in my mind is b/c Dodgers fans didn’t throw empty glass bottles at us. They are both worse than Cubs fans and that’s an actual rivalry.
It seems as though the crowds at Dodger Stadium have been worse since the Raiders left town. All the hoodlums and gang-bangers that followed the Raiders (I was a season ticket holder in L.A.) ended up going to the Dodgers and Lakers. If you wear an opponents jersey/hat to a game, you can literally be taking chances with your life when dealing with a mob of drunken, obnoxious, unruly fans(?).
I lived in LA for ten years and now I live in St. Louis. I am not going to say Cards fans are the “greatest/most knowledgeable fans” in the world but they do love their cardinals.
The main problem with Dodgers games, and I don’t mean to sound racist, is that it is a bunch of Mexican gang bangers that think they own the world and can do whatever they want without reprecussions (and technically they can).
My wife, a die hard cubs fan, and me, a lifelong Cards fan used to go to a cards/dodgers game and a cubs/dodgers game every year but it just got too dangerous. It is a bunch of thugs and bullies and I really feel sorry for the kids that have to sit through it (not what a baseball game is supposed to be).
I hope the Phillies/Rockies own the Dodgers. They don’t deserve to win a thing with fans like that. Baseball is America’s past time and for the security/dodgers staff to allow people with absolutely no morals and no repsect for human beings to just scream and ridicule people is just disgusting. It really made me appreciate the Cubs and that is hard thing for a Cardinals fan to say.
Wow thanks for that info, my husband and i and our 4 year old son are flying from missouri to LA for the June 7 2010 game Cards vs dodgers…..now im scared. my husband says we shouldnt wear our cards clothes? if someone acts like that with our 4 yr old around there will be major ace whooping going on, im not even joking!
