I think the difference could be because just 3 weeks ago, during regular season, The Phillies weren’t even on the map. In 2008, regular season tickets were hard to come by and everyone in the city had time to jump on the bandwagon. Prior to winning the Penant, a lot of Philly had no clue that the Phils were making a run - passion is mostly reserved for life-long fans, who are generally laid back. Add a year of passion to the city, along with folks who are simply excited by the excitement and you’re looking at a different crowd. I could be off, but that’s my intuition. GO PHILS!!!
