I don't want the fans to sit down... I don't want the intensity to change. But people need to learn how to treat each other with civility. That is what's lost.
It's funny, some people here say they have never seen anything like this at the stadium, I would have to say that either you are not looking or don't care. It may not be happening in the seat next to you... but it's happening around you if you are paying attention.
As for the people who say it's just part of the deal and there is nothing we can do about. Yes, it has become an everyday reality... but it doesn't mean we have to accept it and tolerate it. We don't have to physically fight back to stop it. If everyone who had an issue sent a well written letter to the Ravens I bet they would address the situation. For those of you who are willing to "deal" with it... just imagine that that is your son doing it. How tolerable is it now?
I was at the Os game Thursday night against Boston and one thing I noticed about the ushers that was very different from Raven users was the age, demeanor, and professionalism. The Ravens actually have more ushers per section, but they don't pay attention to the section, they are only there to police/restrict entrance into the lower level. If they just place ONE usher roaming each section with a walkie-talkie line direct to Security, the majority of the problem would be solved.
I agree that the games are not a place to take a 6 year old. It's a shame... and I tried. But I see a lot of 6 year olds there... and if they are there then it needs to be a place that is appropriate for them. They are the future fans, this is were they will learn to be fans.
