Summary:
In August of 2011, the Nationals played the Phillies in the series and it was crazy how many of the fans were supporters of the Phillies. About 80% were Phillies fans and the chief operating officer Andrew Feffer decided to roll out the unwelcome mat. They decided to begin a Take Back the Park campaign in an effort to bring Nationals fans in a keep Phillies fans out. Phillies fans took this as a challenge.
Significance: This is extremely important because it shows how even the fans are part of the team in the fact that they support the team greatly and that people do care about the fans. Phillies fans are paying customers so their noisy presence is usually tolerated but Feffer thought it was too much. It is important to have most of your own fans at the home games.
Quesiton:
How far will Feffer go with this campaign?
Alternate Heading:
Phillies Fans Invade Washington
