Time for the fans at Nationals Park to establish themselves!

If I’m not mistaken, throughout sports venue history, there has been at least one section of every stadium, ballpark and arena in which a portion of the crowd has established itself as the rudest, loudest, nastiest, most prideful bunch. The location of such a group is usually in a more ‘off-the-beaten path’ parcel of the venue. Usually in the cheap seats somewhere. Home of the blue-collar man. This locale is home to the section that gets the stadium going with chants and rants full of colorful language when the team is down and even when the team is up.

Groups that come to mind are the Cheese-heads in Green Bay, the malcontents in Oakland Coliseum, the Cleveland Indians with their drum corps and the Yankee fans who own outer right field @ Yankee Stadium.

I remember sitting in section 107 of Nats Park last year. The Nats were playing the Braves and we were giving Braves right fielder Matt Diaz a little tickle. There were some chuckles here and there and then came the fun. Two guys came walking down with large Incredible Hulk fists that held beer. Those things stood out like coal lumps in a hill of snow and everyone got a good laugh. Those two guys got in on the act a little bit and 107 became a little rowdy. It was great.

Establishment of a section like this (and one that holds its rowdy – but respectable – reputation) would really be great to see. The blog would be a great place to establish, run the logistics/coordination for and oversee an endeavor such as this.

Anyone else got any ideas on how to put fans in NATS TOWN on the map??!!!
