Other

Fans wear all attire, from formal to casual. A few are known to wear costumes and paint their faces.
Some fans arrive by the Continent's intricate electrical cable-car system. Those who can't afford it arrive by bus or on foot.
Food can be either purchased at the ballpark for nominal prices or brought from home. Vendors dot the perimeters of the park, often hawking less-pricey fan favorites, such as billy-bread rounds and fried calbur strips.
Ale is sold throughout the park and by vendors who walk up and down the aisles. No other alcohol is permitted.
Fist fights among fans are common, particularly in later innings after many ales have been consumed. Vendors rarely cut off beer sales to even the most inebriated fans.
Given the lesser financial status of the league, parks are usually in poor condition, with hard wooden seats and limited amenities.
