Does anyone care about the Blast?

RavensFan0606 · October 23rd, 2012, 02:24 AM

Just thought I'd throw this out there. With the Baltimore Blast's upcoming season (next weekend is the season opener at 1st Mariner) rapidly approaching us, I was wondering how many of you actually follow the franchise. They get next to NO press in the city, on The Fan, or practically anywhere else. I do realize that they draw 6,000 - 7,000, on average, per game, but why doesn't the city embrace the team at all?

I know relatively little about the Blast, and haven't been to one of their games in years (I'm going to try out a few this season), so just wanted others' opinions of the team.

To another great Blast season!

i love the blast! My wife & I are season ticket holders. I agree with you that they don't nearly get the exposure that they deserve. Over the years, I believe they've won 5 championships? Maybe 6?

yes, they definitely deserve more press. They're awesome....

I don't care about soccer. Even if Baltimore had an MLS team I doubt I would care much.

I've been meaning to go to a Blast game for the past few years. Do they do any discounts?

I haven't seen much in the form of discounts (although a living social ad may have happened either last year or 2 years ago), but the lower end tickets go for $16 at the Box Office. Not too bad.

... And actually, as I have just looked, Living Social has lower level seats available for $11 for the home opener! Would be a great opportunity to snag some good tickets at a great price.

bottom line is we still have enough passionate fans here that actually cares about this team. The Blast, along with the Milwaukee Wave, have averaged 7,000-8,000 fans for years! That's @ the top of the MISL! For this reason is why I'm hopin' that one day soon, we'll land a current of expansion MLS club.
