Still, giving the top spot to Signature — where ticket prices are generally a notch under the $100-plus rate for shows at Arena Stage and Shakespeare Theatre Company and a tick above the $60-$80 range at Studio Theatre and Woolly Mammoth — isn’t a slam dunk.

Even before they went up a notch under Alan Pardew they seemed to have the hex on Liverpool, especially at Selhurst Park.

A Warhawks win would turn the heat up a notch under Chizik.
