Especially since we follow all the rules, and we were only asking the ref to zip up his fly. But people swallowed that injustice quietly and continued to support our team. <br /><br />When the second person for the 'crew' got booted, well then it got ugly. Everyone knew this guy was obeying all the rules, so when he got booted, people started yelling at the police and (regretably) started getting belligerent. But who can blame them? <br /><br />The good thing is, both students went quietly, and while another one of us went to find out what was going on, the attention turned back to the game, and it seemed those ejections had light a fire under the fans.<br /><br />But after everything was done, we found out that the event security just picked the loudest fans they saw that moment, and took them away. Using this communist/gestapo tactic, it could of been anyone in the arena...<br /><br />So final words I guess are, BEWARE: If you have a rowdy 6 year old, they might end up in county lock up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-67772171447413180152007-01-30T10:52:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:52:00.000-05:00Basketball arenas by nature, are supposed to be lo...Basketball arenas by nature, are supposed to be loud and rowdy. The fans are indeed the sixth man on the floor. As stated correctly by Jim, the security folks way over stepped their authority. As long as people are cheering and yelling, everything is fair. When fans are drunk or toss an object on the court, they should immediately be tossed. That wasn't the case Sunday.<br /><br />This hasn't just occurred in Halton Arena. A similar incident happened over at Davidson and "security" personnel wanted to toss some students for some raw language. Of course, he wanted to stop the Charlotte fans from saying it but it was fine for the Davidson students to say the same words. He then allowed a Davidson student to enter the Charlotte student section, which could easily have turned into something bad. Fortunately, there was no incident but the yellow jacketed man stood there... listening to his iPod!<br /><br />Thanks for the blog, we enjoy it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-31906814166405870472007-01-30T10:30:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:30:00.000-05:00clt thinks the students should be tasered if they ...clt thinks the students should be tasered if they speak louder than library voices. <br /><br />there is a game going on, folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-51825934738468863892007-01-30T10:13:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:13:00.000-05:00I for one think that it is important that we have ...I for one think that it is important that we have a rowdy crowd in Halton. I think that it adds to the home court advantage, and that ejecting students for anything less than throwing things on the court or inciting fights is uncalled for. <br /><br />I personally think that security is too tight in Halton vs. other college arenas in general, and that in order to promote school spirit and getting students to the games, they should be pretty lax about it.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147744329469716154noreply@blogger.com
