    ^^Even more reason to be concerned about how the stadium security enforced the policy.

    I knew things like that could happen with this new "no questions asked" zero tolerance policy. Because some fans at other places got extremely obnoxious, they try to counter with this policy that goes too far. It invites abuse. Last night you saw that first hand.

    When something is reported, security should go to that section and just observe the situation first, before acting like storm troopers.

    In our section last night we had a colt fan stand in the aisle and acting like an idiot. You couldn't walk up and down the isle. I have seen people get kicked out for way less and they did nothing to him. But they did continue to check my tickets everytime I got up and tell me how to go to the seats I have had for over a decade. At times there was a line to get to your seats but this colt fan stood in the aisle 75 percent of the time and they did nothing but harass people that went to the bath room or get something to eat.

    Absolutely- observe and intervene with a discussion or warning.

    Sounds like this is an isolated phenomenon.

    Well if we could get enough people together and boycott the games. Maybe a few blackouts and dropping ticket sales will get Bud's head out of his geriatric arse.

    This guy is listed as a media relations contact but he might be a good person to email or call about the administration of their conduct policy

    We had a situation in 108.

    There were four Colts females standing and dancing around late in the third quarter. They were pretty blasted and the only ones standing in our section. Some guys directly behind them were having fun with them. They were more entertaining than the game for most of the second half.

    The yellow coats came down and stood at the end of the aisle and watched them for about 5 minutes. After that, they left and, in a few minutes, down comes a cop to escort out ONE of the four. I have no idea why they took this particular one but that got the other three to sit down and then they left a few minutes later. By then, the Titans fans were leaving as well.

    I wasn't close enough to hear them. I don't think they were cussing or doing anything else but being drunk, standing and dancing to the music. Seems to me the Titans fans were pissed and wanted to take it out on these girls for having fun.

    Maybe they were escorted out because they were blasted but I have a problem with the policy if it can be used on opposing fans who stand up. I heard that was the case in another section.

    A policy for overly drunk, cursing, obnoxious or threatening others is needed. A policy that can be used on opposing fans for celebrating is wrong.

    We can't blackout. If it were possible, it would've happened many times already. Entities buy the seats and try to resell them. I assume we'll see a few games this year where they will prevent a blackout for you guys.
    I've been to games in a probably under half filled stadium where I could sit literally anywhere I wanted to in the general seating; Lower Deck, Upper Deck, 50 yd. line, End Zone.

    Businessmen in TN realize the Titans are moneybringers for the state and city, No one in Jacksonville cares, period.
