NFL cracking down on unruly fans at stadiums

[Extremebillsfan247]

The next time a fan is kicked out of an NFL stadium for being unruly, he or she will have to take a $75 four-hour online class and pass a code-of-conduct test for readmittance. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82853814/article/fans-ejected-from-nfl-games-must-pass-conduct-test-to-return?module=HP11_headline_stack (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82853814/article/fans-ejected-from-nfl-games-must-pass-conduct-test-to-return?module=HP11_headline_stack)

Thought it was worth mentioning to those who plan on attending games at the Ralph this year. Looks like some of us will have to cut back on the bowling ball shots. :biggrin:

That means the actual gate at the Ralph will be 25,000, if that is enforced.

Lec and Danny are screwed. Michael, save me his seat.

Only question I have is how are they going to know if you have or have not taken the class.

How would the gate attendents know not to let you in?

I know people that have gotten kicked out and come right back in.

Not good! I tend to get pretty unruly!

Then you'll have to pay $75 and take a class and bring your certificate of completion to get back in. lol

I think this is in line with blackouts perhaps not being allowed anymore. They would like the stadium to be packed but if the game is going to be on TV anyway, let's change the crowd a little if we can. I don't know, I get pretty hammered at the games on occasion, but now I just don't feel like waiting in the piss line and paying $8 a beer even though I have way more money then 15-20 years ago. Just as long as fights stop, but there is a super douchebag element no matter where you go, even taking your wife to Wicked.

Like I said how the hell would they know at the gate that I need to take a class?

I'm sure they'll figure something out.

[ddaryl]

none the less some fans do get way out of hand... No reason for that.

The only way they can enforce is to deny you the ability to renew season tickets.

I seriously doubt we will see mugshots of people at every ticket station saying

Do Not Let This

It's pretty easy.

Halt beer sales, police the lots for alcohol consumption. End the contracts, tv and stadium, with Budweiser et al.

Won't happen - the NFL is about Benjamins.

So much b.s. involved with going to a game, and that's without the drunk jackasses spilling beer on your head every time they stand up behind you.

The NFL annoys the **** out of me with this stuff.

First, most of the stadiums have fan conduct policies anyway that aren't enforced. So, maybe they should try by enforcing those before coming up with something new.

Second, they can't decide if they want a party atmosphere or a family atmosphere. They sell booze in the stadiums, have contracts with all kinds of alcohol companies, play club and rock music during down times, hell- I think the MNF song even has lines in it about it being a party.

Then they claim they want to be a "family atmosphere," despite the fact that the prices have gotten so out of control that most families can't afford to go to the games anyway.

It is all about the Benjamins, and they are trying to keep the party crowd without scaring away the family crowd.
