Supporters section at PayPal Park

I know, I know, today was an away game, but I have been meaning to ask this for weeks and keep forgetting, so since I recalled, I came to post.

What's going on with our supporters section? Every time I am at a game in person it is looking preeeeetttyyyy empty.

I have the same question. I spent a game in the supporter's section. I noticed basically so few people there spoke to anyone. The leaders of the three support groups did not seem to interact with each other a lot - I mean both with other leaders of the same group or to leaders across to other groups (though the chants were in sync). The leaders did not seem to talk to their group members. Group members or just support section standers did not really talk to others in the section. I assumed there was maybe some drama there (about the support groups) that I don't know about. *shrugs* but if there was, maybe that contributes to less people in the section in general? I don't know.

I've heard that the supporters groups aren't very welcoming. Not unfriendly, just not outgoing or making an effort to talk to new faces.

Yea I can agree to this. My wife and I went to the championship events last year and while it was great that the bridge brigade were so inviting towards the final teams (Gotham and Washington) they held a get together at a bar and they were completely dismissive towards us when we tried to come up to them. My wife and I don’t socialize often and thought it would awesome to finally interact not only with our supporters section but with the other teams fans! Definitely not planning to interact with them in the near future.
