Seahawks out to get unruly fans

SmashMouth · 09-12-2013, 10:34 AM

In an effort to weed out unruly fans, the Seattle Seahawks say they will have undercover police officers wearing opposing team apparel beginning with Sunday night's highly anticipated matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seahawks announced the plan Wednesday, saying the goal is to ensure a safe environment for all fans, including those supporting the visiting team.

The Seahawks say gameday staff will intervene against unruly behavior, foul or abusive language and verbal and physical harassment of opposing team fans or stadium guests and staff members. Any fans asked to leave for violations of fan conduct will have to complete a four-hour online educational course at their own cost before they will be cleared to attend events at the stadium again.

"We have great fans," Seahawks president Peter McLoughlin said. "Our goal is to ensure a safe environment for all in attendance, including visiting team fans."

I would wear a 49ers jersey and go on about how "our team is pathetic" in front of 49er fans.

Good for SSeahawks organization.
Most fans are cool.
In every city , you a few people who just don't get it and make it bad for everybody. Those give a bad name for the good fans, the majority.

Good idea Seatle Seahawks team.

I don't get to many games. I went to aJags game against the Titans (who I was rooting for). It was a little ugly. I was up in the cheap seats was the problem.

I've been to a few other stadiums. There's always a couple losers that act like asshats but for the most part, most fans are alright.

Oakland can be a scary place. And Candlestick is thuggish but I've been lucky enough to never have had any trouble.

Giants Stadium and the Patriots have neen cool. I think they try and scare you. But It doesn't work.
