I never mentioned screens but for a number of reasons, all-seater stadiums probably should have big digital screens in this age of technology.Biggs":2pikocot said:
There doesn’t have to be blocks of empty seats populated only by people in yellow vests to signify the hostility between Red Sox and Yankee fans. With armed Police on duty inside the stadium, they wouldn’t put up with any violence, not to mention the loss of revenue from empty seats.
I have seen a bit of fisticuffs (handbags really) at Baseball watching the Red Sox down in Baltimore but that is pretty rare. I could sit anywhere I like in Yankee Stadium in my Red Sox jersey and the worst that would happen would be a bit of verbals, but it would be mostly good-nature banter. But the Yankees hate the Red Sox and the feeling is mutual. However, in a country where violence is common in their large cities, unlike some English fans! American sports fans don’t generally feel the need to kick the sh*t out of their rivals or chuck bottles at them.
There is to their credit, but it is our shame and disgrace that we cannot sit together in any football ground in this country, even at our lowly level.
Perfectly well-behaved supporters of all ages are routinely evicted because they have dared to sit in the “wrong” part of the ground, as they are automatically labelled as potential trouble makers. And this is in modern all-seater stadiums, not the crumbling, open terraces of the early 1970s.
What does that say about us in 2020?
