Welcome back to FanPost Friday! As summer heats up in the Pacific Northwest, the annual Canadian Invasion at T-Mobile Park is in full swing. Blue Jays fans are flocking to Seattle for a weekend of baseball, beer, and banter.
Mariners fans are divided on the influx of Blue Jays supporters. Some relish the lively atmosphere and spirited exchanges, while others prefer to enjoy the games from the comfort of home, steering clear of potential conflicts.
For many fans, attending games with visiting fanbases was once a badge of honor, a show of support for the home team even in the face of overwhelming opposition. Memories of past showdowns and unexpected victories still linger, like the unforgettable Thunderstruck Game of 2014.
However, priorities shift with time and responsibilities. Parenthood and a desire for peace have tempered the enthusiasm for engaging in spirited debates with rival fans. While some fans embrace the challenge of facing off against the sea of blue and white, others opt for a quieter viewing experience.
