Tuesday night is going to be a glorious fucking mess at the sports complex. You’ve got Flyers/Canucks now at 6 p.m. The Phillies host the D Backs in Game 2 of the NLCS at 8:07 p.m. and there is an international friendly between Mexico and Germany taking place at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:30 p.m. All three stadiums will be packed, and the crowd mix is going to be incredible. You will have drunk hockey and baseball fans mingling with international soccer fans, eating wienerschnitzel while wearing luchador masks. Everyone will have a great time though. Mexico travels WELL. They always bring tens of thousands of fans to U.S. games, and Germany is Germany.
Should be a good one. God bless anybody who is going down there Tuesday night.
