Starting tonight, the upper right field bleachers at Busch Stadium will become a dedicated high-energy fan section, inspired by the Tarps Off atmosphere fans have brought to the ballpark.
Any fan in the ballpark, regardless of seat location, can join the fun. Shirts optional 😉
Let me tell you other facts about Union Berlin fans. I watched a documentary on them a while back.
Union Berlin fans have a culture, you cannot boo the players, coaches, or members of staff irrespective of the result. You just cannot.
Aside the blood donation that raised money for them to stay afloat, the fans also renovated the stadium themselves. 2,000 fans volunteered to rebuild parts of the stadium and reports says they averaged 140,000 hours of work combined.
Every December, the fans meet for Christmas at the stadium, its called "Weihnachtssingen". They bring christmas candles, sing christmas songs, celebrate the club, etc.
Union Berlin fans reject over-commercialisation of their club, they believe they own the club and should not be referred to as mere fans or customers.
They also have some crazy history down to the days of East Germany where the government wanted to take over their club. The fans started sleeping in the stadium overnight in turns to prevent this, the government eventually backed off.
One of the most traditional clubs across Europe. UNION BERLIN.
I'm investigating an Omaha 14U baseball team that tells me they're organization shut down overnight without warning... and no refund.
See how the parents and players are trying to save their season last minute.
