It’s only April, but Phillies fans are gathering on a roof.

With 9,880 losses in franchise history (including Monday’s 13-5 Opening Day defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals), the Phils have pushed the boundaries of their fans’ patience – and sanity – in the past. This year, the organization is driving its fans to the top of the pavilion overlooking Ashburn Alley in Citizens Bank Park with enticements of cheaper beer and hot dogs, an inflatable pool and other activities.
