SF Giants Fans to Fly 'BEAT LA' Banner Over Dodger Stadium on Opening Day

Not in our stadium, you don't
Update: "SF Giants Fans Behind 'Beat L.A.' Banner Say They've Paid a Plane Company to Fly Giant Diss Over Dodger Stadium."

Tell us, Los Angeles: Are you going to stand for this?

Update: Street-art blog LA Taco won't. We quote:

"People of Los Angeles, we cannot let this potential aggression stand. LA TACO will organize a boycott and shaming campaign of any Los Angeles pilot who takes filthy Frisco funds to denigrate Los Angeles and our 5 championships. Spread the word and we'll keep the pressure on. Go Dodgers."

A group of diehard stadium-rushers up in NorCal are currently well on their way to raising $8,000 for a giant banner to fly over Dodger Stadium on March 31, April 2 and April 3.

It would serve as a territory marker for the San Francisco Giants -- reigning World Series champions -- during the first three games of the Major League Baseball season, which they'll play against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What'll it read? (Please refrain from grabbing a baseball bat and taking out your rage on the gf's heirloom cabinet. Save it for Frisco. Please.)

According to Faithful Supporters of the World Champion San Francisco Giants, better known as Fuck Yeah! Shut Up, Inc. (FYSU) -- told you they were crazy -- it'll be tagged with the words "Giants 2010 Champs: BEAT LA."

This, dear Angelenos, is war. If your blood still hasn't reached a rollicking boil, here's a clip from the fundraising website:

Two years ago one man came up with an idea. He waited for the perfect time to enact this diabolical, yet beautiful concept. One concept, one idea, that would shock the sports world while leaving Southern California feeling empty inside. Now is the time. ...

It is a great way to pay tribute to The World Champion San Francisco Giants while giving the other organization a taste of what it is like to be World Series Champions: something they haven't tasted since 1988.

They're collecting donations toward the $8,000 project in the form of stadium seats with arbitrary names, ranging from the $20 "Timmy's Doobie Fund" (stupid stoners) to the $100 "Cream and Clear" (awkward) to the $500 "Say Hey Kid" (seriously, who came up with these).

And according to the website, "the organizers of the Banner Event are 45 percent toward their goal."

FYSU calls the downtown Dodger Stadium a "hostile environment" -- damn right, wussies! -- and detail the plan as "[flying] a banner 3 miles above Chavez Ravine... for the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday games for an hour and 20 minutes."

That's four hours too long, freaks. Dodger Stadium may have 99 problems, but anti-L.A. propaganda isn't one. Y'all don't know who you're messing with.

Now that we have an overview of the Calgary Airport, let's move on to the important aspects of trip planning. These include which airlines fly to Calgary, options for lodging nearby, and ground transportation.

Giants Fans Got Worked - LA Wins AGAIN!Whoever they chose to make and fly that thing took them for a BIG ride. Horrible Color Contrast and Biggest GOOFBALL on the PLANET as the Pilot. Total COST for that banner and the flights should have been no more than $4500 maximum. Their own people who set it up worked those that donated to the tune of $3,500 at least. San Franciscans are not the brightest fish in the pond. The fan that set the banner donation thing up is an exception. Good Job LA, you win again.

Dear Giants Fans,

I've bled Dodger blue from birth but never developed a bitter vindictive hated for any rival team. To be fair, I guess I've never really had a reason to since I am not a fan of an inferior team. I thought it was great that the Giants won the 2010 World Series though. Congratulations on the victory San Francisco! Well played! I sincerely mean that. I'm tired of other Dodger fans claiming you only won because the Padres gave up. You won the World Series fair and square. We simply did not have it last season. I am curious to see how Juan works out for us at second base this year.

In regards to your banner, BRING IT! I think it's a brilliant way to show your city's poor sportsmanship. Come on, I find it very hard to believe that you self righteous Bay Area folk can't see just how petty this is. "say hey kid," wouldn't $8,000 but put to better use in our schools? Okay, maybe Northern California doesn't care about education. What about Japan or Haiti? They would really appreciate the support I'm sure. All I'm saying is this really looks bad for you and your team. I'm shocked that there is not one person, of the 275 people who donated to the banner, that didn't stop and say, "say hey kid," maybe this $8,000 could be put to better use somehow? I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I am. Bring your banner if it makes you feel like it will burn us but don't cry over the repercussions. We are just better at getting under your skin. We do it effortlessly. Because we don't care too much about you after the games. You think about the Dodgers and Dodger Fans far too much. It is very unhealthy for you mentally and it's starting to show. It's why the baseball world sees Giant fans as the cry babies of baseball.

Enjoy the series. I hope this helps and...you're welcome! show

You can have Boo-ribe anytime you want, and i'm not going to be unrealistic and predict a repeat (but stranger things have happened) but we'll still take you out in the division. Get used to being the whipping boys

Ha, chances are that it's a scam designed to dupe San Franciscans out of their hare-earned trust funds.

"It is a great way to pay tribute to The World Champion San Francisco Giants while giving the other organization a taste of what it is like to be World Series Champions: something they haven't tasted since 1988."

Hmmm, and something the Dodgers have tasted far more time than the Giants have. Jeez; get a life people.

Doesnt know her a$$ from a hole in the wall! The Say Hey Kid? Really? You dont know who that is? See this is what happens when a female writer gets bumped from doing her usual fashion week spread and has to write this. Stick to what you know sweety, baseball aint one of em....Oh and by the way, if we (The Giants Fans) decide to fly a banner over your stadium, it will happen and you will do nothing. Just like your team did. WORLD CHAMPIONS. THE END. No more Manny, no more weak ass Dodgers. Suck it.

Went down to LA to watch Timmy pitch last season with some Dodger buddies..As we were walking into the Stadium LA style (a few pitches after game time) the crowd is roaring...Dodger buddies are talking Timmy smack assuming he is getting rocked....they were mortified to find the deafening cheers (no lie) were from Giants fans when the boys from NorCal strung together 3 hits in a row during the top of the first. EAT ME LA! Here is $5
