Of course there's face recognition tech now, but I'm not so sure they have those everywhere.
The threat of attest will probably be enough to keep them at home in front of the big screen though.

There was actual hooliganism culture. From literature to the beginning of blogging etc.

Hooliganism were ID’ed by specific clubs and often barred from travel to Scotland France Germany etc.

I love that one if these nooks was a season ticket holder….was.

The team said Friday the two fans MLB banned were not season-ticket holders. The Post reported Friday that the person who is the season ticket holder was not at the game and will be allowed to keep them.

My question is, who cares enough to buy season tickets, but doesn’t go to a playoff game?

From what I understand, a large % of Braves tickets are bought by UPS and Coca Cola.

And those tickets were way down the right field line. I’d assume (maybe incorrectly) that major corporations would have better seats.
