The fans, who were seated in Chase Field's expensive batters box suite — price ranges from $3,250 to $3,500 — right behind home plate, could be seen decked out in Dodgers blue when the game began.
However, as the inning went along, ushers were seen bringing Diamondbacks gear to the suite, which the fans willingly changed into in order to keep their seats.
As a result of the incident, Deadspin reached out to the Diamondbacks to clarify what exactly happened and why. Here's the team's official response.
Due to the high visibility of the home plate box, we ask opposing team's fans when they purchase those seats to refrain from wearing that team's colors. During last night's game, when Ken Kendrick noticed the fans there, he offered them another suite if they preferred to remain in their Dodger gear. When they chose to stay, he bought them all D-backs gear and a round of drinks and requested that they abide by our policy and they obliged.
So what do you guys think? Is it fair to make a visiting fan who spent hard earn money in the thousands for these seats to be told to change their clothes or leave?
