Police Chief Ed Davis is quoted during a Rotary Club speech on the third night as saying, "Tonight at the Sports Arena they have a dope festival. It's called a rock concert or something."
Oh, there's plenty of marijuana also [that is what most of the smoking offenders are smoking & are only told by security to put it out]. But potheads sit there in a trance anyway & even laugh when the Dodgers strike out - forgetting what team they are rooting for

It's the drunks that ruin everything & cause all the fights!

I dont think its because of the alcohol. Heck, I can go to a Dodger game and have 4-5 beers over the course of the game to wash down all the Dodger Dogs and still behave like a civilized human. The problem is with the mexican gang banger cholo criminal Raider Nation types who just f*** up wherever they are even if they have NO alcohol.

Growing up here in LA and going to Dodger games as a kid was a truly magical experience almost on a par with going to Disneyland. But now, because of the idiots mentioned above, many dont even take their kids to the games anymore. Its a shame.

People are looking for a fight when going to a game. Same thing happens at the Long Beach Grand Prix. After the main race, they get a well known band to play about 8 songs. Everyone has been drinking all day and the ones closest to the stage start fist fighting. I have seen the craziest fights during Taking Back Sunday. TAKING BACK SUNDAY SUCKS TOO!

They haven't sold beer in the bleachers since the early 1970s as fans would throw radio batteries at Pete Rose. (I was at the game, sitting in the bleachers, when Rick Monday saved the American Flag in 1975. As I was only 14, I was a good six months away from my beer drinking days, so the beer ban in the bleachers wasn't so bad.)

They need to weed that sadistic trash out of Dodger games period!

Rick Monday served in the Marine Corps Reserve. (As did a lot of ballplayers in those years.)

It was a great moment! Thanks, Rick!!

I don't go to Dodgers games anymore. Too many shaved heads and bad attitudes. I'd hate to catch a case. I feel sorry for the players...they don't deserve that isht.

I'd have no problem with the police getting rid of the a$$holes. I don't remember all that when I was going to Dodger games back in the day. That is sad.

Is it bad at all levels (Field and Loge boxes)? Or, is it just General Admission, the Bleachers and maybe Reserved?
