People who have seats right behind the plate and never look up from their phone should be dragged out of the ballpark and banned for life.

Seriously! I wonder why anyone goes to live events anymore when they just spend their entire time on their screens. Also, their inattention to the game imposes on others, as they stand up in the MIDDLE OF A PITCHER'S WINDUP because they discovered they need another beer. losers.

Fact - on a side note, I have sat in those seats once and they are kind of over rated. Ditto for first few rows at a hockey game. There is such a thing as too close.

Sports games might actually be fun if the people there watching it all wanted to be there and were sharing in a communal experience. Not what rich people want, though! That’s anathema to them, and they have (naturally) the most visible seats.

I really wish sports fans would apply that same energy to our current government. Like, "people who get into office should follow the rules and do good by all the people, not just the super-rich ones. If they don't, they should be dragged out office and banned for life!"

Why don't you buy those seats then instead? This is still a free country to do what we want. If the ticket holder wants to watch Netflix on their phone while sitting at the game, thats their business.🤷♂️

I’m not a big supported of baseball but agree with this post. Those sitting there are keeping other people from having those seats and enjoying the game. By the way, I have a reason for not following baseball any longer.

It's because the view is so bad they have to actually watch the game on their phones.😅 I sat right behind the plate at old Yankee Stadium some years ago, and couldn't see shit on the field. Better higher up, IMHO.

During one of the last Dodger regular season games, there was a kid, maybe 10 or 11 years old sitting behind the plate about 5-6 rows up. He was calling the game as if he were the umpire. I could not take my eyes off of him. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!

It’s the most boring sport in the world. Based on the English girls game of rounders played from 400 years ago onwards. Anyone sitting anywhere and paying to watch that nonsense for hours on end, needs dragging to the lunatic asylum.

100%. They're in every ballpark. Also, glammed up women (rich, obviously, considering the seats) who chat nonstop throughout the game, ignoring the action completely.

Paul Gilsdorf
paulgilsdorf.bsky.social
The deluxe seats are a status symbol, for sure. Plus, it’s embarrassing when they go empty/unsold. If I were the GM, I would roam the cheap seats and take actual fans to go sit down in front if those seats aren’t sold for the day. Random selection, just tell them to behave and enjoy.

So true. Even worse the rich who own the seats don't show up and no one is allowed to move down. Twins owner Calvin Griffith was a cheapskate but when the Twins played at Met Stadium after the third inning they told everyone to move down closer. The richer they get the less the rich want to share.

Absolutely! If MLB thought that by making those stupid changes to the game was going to attract more fans they were grossly mistaken. If people go to live events and spend their time on phones, nothing happening on the field or stage is gonna get their short attention spans.
