Daily News | ‘We’ve kind of taken over the town’: Diehard Flyers fans travel to Nashville despite disappointing season
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Four hours before puck drop between the Flyers and the Nashville Predators on Sunday, splotches of orange mingled amongst a sea of yellow outside Bridgestone Arena.
“We thought the Flyers were gonna be better, but Nashville kind of just sells itself,” DiBiaggio said. “There’s plenty to do in Nashville. It’s a destination city. So, if the team’s good or not, really, it doesn’t matter.” “When I first started out, and it was just like friends and family and people from college, it was a little rowdier,” DiBiaggio said. “We’ve had some experiences, like the first trip we ever did, we had to get a police escort out of the Devils’ arena.
But while love may be the reason Boehmer and his friends are on the trip in the first place, the Flyers’ season has left them heartbroken. Chris Asdourian of West Chester, attending his second Phans of Philly trip, was happy to be in Nashville regardless of the team’s record — “I’m a diehard. Ride or die.”“With Giroux getting his, it kind of brought everyone back into it,” Asdourian said. “I was at the game this past Thursday. It was a good time. But seeing him with the Panthers is kind of tough. But we did have higher expectations going in, for sure.
