Cmon fans, let's be better than this. Fans loyal enough to travel with the team should be respected. Strike up a conversation with them, welcome them to our city. Don't be douchebags.

Joe was waiting for Gina outside of the washroom and he says one fan walked over and flipped a beer cup at him.

"I had beer all over the back and side of my jersey."

Things only got worse when they realized they couldn't remember how to get to the parking garage.

"We asked people if they knew where we needed to go, but everybody just kept giving us the runaround," Joe said. "I felt very uncomfortable being there."

Lol they forgot where they parked and people didn't know where they parked for them? boo hoo /s

I heard the same thing happened in Cleveland too. Trump has taught some people that if they're not on your side, it's ok to attack them verbally and physically.

I'm not kidding either. He's set the anti-bullying and tolerance movements back decades.

I'm sure lots of people were nice to Cleveland fans. But that doesn't make the news, obviously. Enough crap happens in any city that there's always an anecdote to support a story you want to write. I wouldn't be too concerned with it. A guy threw a beer can and now we have to deal with a ton of negative stories. That's how she goes.

The fact Trump gets radio play let alone that people take him serious astounds me.

I was at the Wild card game this year and the trash talk Os fans got was pretty weak in comparison to what I have seen before. Ive seen Bills' fans push over a port a potty while an opposing fan had been inside.

Also, just last weak, I saw a tweet by a reporting stating that a Bills fan was yelling " tackle that muslim" referring to a dummy wearing a Kap jersey.

The rogers centre is weak compared to many other road stadiums.

Uninformed... as per Wikileaks the DNC and Hillary's team set up the provocateurs at Trump rallies.

Yes, I know who James O'Keefe is. Did you know that he isn't wikileaks? Wikileaks released an email between Clinton campaign people that included the phrase "bird dogging". That does not mean what you think it means, or what is being referred to in this **** video. The context was people asking Trump questions, getting the responses on tape, and releasing them, since his answers are almost always insanely terrible.

I'm sure this latest O'Keefe pile of **** will really go far though. Enjoy hitching your wagon to that horse!

It's also hilarious that this new narrative is that Trump supporters were being tricked into punching people in the face by those evil liberals. Reach harder.

There were two Indians fans with jerseys sitting the row behind us, they got heckled a bit but nothing really bad in our section though. I'd personally welcome any fan from opposing stadiums in as long as you're respectful and not being obnoxious to the home fans and the home fans should treat you fairly too. If you start acting obnoxious as a visitor, you're bringing what sort of comes on yourself.

But let's be honest, this happens everywhere. Have a bunch of young idiots, give them alcohol, have a game with something on the line and visiting fans in the stadium and they'll get heckled.

We can all agree that throwing beer at them is taking it too far. We had a guy sitting in front of us double-fisting beers through the first three innings, by the third he had to be helped down and to the bathroom followed by his friends leaving to take him out. People are just generally stupid.

To be fair, he had to watch us not score runs.

At Game 3 this spring, there was a family from Cleveland behind us, and they were very nice. There was a bit of back and forth with the home fans, but you could tell these guys knew way more about basketball strategy than the average ACC attendee did. Sad to think that interaction wasn't to be an example for the Jays series.
