Home Opener Blue Jays vs Red Sox

I just got back from tonights work. It was my first baseball game ushering and all. I was pretty nervous coming to work since I have the power to kick people out and cut people off from alcohol if they get too rowdy and drunk. :???: I had to get used to it and stuff I may have sent one person on the wrong seat.. The supervisors placed me in the 114 section which is pretty close to the actual field (it is right next to the first base). I think they placed all newbie ushers in the 100 section to see if they can handle the home opener which is the busiest game in the Blue Jays season. If they can handle it then they can handle any game. I expected worse like bottles being broken and people hitting each other with it but tonight wasnt that bad. My section wasnt that bad either. There were instances where 2 group of people were sitting on the wrong seat so people had to ask us that there’s people in our seats can you kick them out? But other than those times its alright.

Some section were pretty crazy like people fighting, people were getting hit by items that people in the upper section were throwing. There was even a guy who ran across the field but the security caught him and the cops ended up arresting the guy. I think they may fine him $1000. :yikes: Right at the end my coworker told me that in normal nights , its not this crazy. It was only crazy because the Blue jays were against the Red Sox (Bosox). Some BJ fans were even making fun of them saying ‘Go back to Massachussets!!!”. Lol some fans are just plain hilarious. :lol:

Right at the end, a supervisor asked me ‘Are you coming back?’ I gave him a funny look like ‘why are you asking me that?’ Then I got what he was trying to say. Like am i coming back tomorrow or am i quitting because of this hectic crazy day? I said I was coming back and that it wasnt so bad. I heard from my coworkers that their section was crazier. I think I just got lucky.. For tonight.. They are still playing Bosox tomorrow and Sunday so the craziness might not end after all. Another crazy game is whenever NY Yankees comes to town. That should be interesting….
