I'm not really a football fan. Baseball is pretty much the only sport I watch. And I watch obsessively when my Giants are on. :)
Yeah, they haven't been doing so well this season. There have been a few very exciting games, though. :D

We changed our loyalties as well, Lara. Well, my Hubby and I both have a few times actually. I grew up a Pirates fan, when I lived in PA and went to some games, but then I didn't watch for years. My Hubby grew up a Braves fan, since the Rays weren't in FL yet, and the Marlins suck.
We both didn't watch for years and got back into it years ago and started watching the Rays together and went to a few games. But, then we moved to NC and had to pick to watch the Braves, Orioles or Nats. Didn't want Braves cuz of bandwagon, didn't want Os because they are in the Rays division, so we went with Nats and we LOVE them now, even if they are struggling so far this year.
Beth, you are sooooo lucky to be a season ticket holder. I wish we lived close enough to a park to have season tickets, or to be able to go at all!

Tomorrow they go to Tampa and play there instead of Baltimore like they were supposed to, so they will be considered the home team in Tampa.
It's sooooo spooky and weird looking! The Orioles announcers were saying that the White Sox announcers were complaining that they could hear them, since they are right next to each other in the booths. You can hear each hit, the players calling for the balls, it's so weird!
I love how they are still throwing balls into the seats, as they would if people were there. The announcers said they wouldn't be picked up so they will just be sitting there waiting for the fans for when they come in the next time!

I heard about riots, just didn't know it's that bad.
I thought maybe some kind of penalty or something like that. Over here soccer teams (that's the sport here) quite often play without spectators as punishment for something 'fans' did
