  • Incoming Rant

    So today was a family outing day. We all went to a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game (they played the Nationals so we were pretty sure of a good outcome lol). We had perfect seats in the shade, thank goodness! Everything was great until the 2nd inning.

    I was sitting there watching the game when I smelled whiskey.....a LOT of it. I looked up to see 4 people (2 guys, 2 girls) in their mid to late 20's trying to figure out where they sat. It was obvious they were extremely drunk. I just kept thinking "Oh please let them be in another section..please...please..." but unfortunately they were right behind us.

    It immediately started with them screaming at the field every 15 seconds at the tops of their lungs, many times using foul language. There were several other families in our section with young children and everyone was giving disgusted looks.

    At one point I leaned over and quietly asked my husband to give me one of my headache pills because all the yelling was giving me a headache. Well one of the girls overheard me and started talking smack to the 3 other people about me. "Screw them, we're here to have fun!" "F**k em if they can't enjoy themselves!" etc etc. Then I hear them whispering and I hear one girl say to a guy that he should spill beer on me. About 10 minutes later, beer is spilt on me. They laugh like crazy and start talking about how funny that was. I turned to the one young lady and said "Oh yes, that was just hilarious. My grandchildren are better behaved than you are." That was the only time I said anything to them or even looked at them.

    About 20 minutes after that incident, an entire beer is spilled all over my son and I and even the surrounding people. It went down 2 to 3 rows in front of us. And I'd had enough. I found a security guard and complained. He shrugged his shoulders. DOT....DOT.......DOT

    I insisted something be done because I paid for my seats too and all he said was "Ma'am all I can do is have a talk with them." I said to do it then. He told them to step into the tunnel with him and one of the girls went on a rant at how wrong it was for me to do that. How I was horrible for ruining their day. blah blah blah

    Five minutes later, they came back and sat there and talked smack about me behind my back. Even talking about how one of the young men just recently got some felony assualt charges dropped so they weren't worried about getting into trouble cause he had a priest that would stand up for him. They talked about following me to my car and how the 2 girls could deal with me and my grandkids and the 2 guys could deal with my son and husband. One of the young men took to kicking the back of my seat non stop for the rest of the game. That really helped my headache. >< In the bottom of the 7th, I heard the girl say to the young man "No don't throw that cup away" and laugh. He mumbled something and then I heard him say "You aren't gonna get her again are you?" She said "Look for the beer guy cause I'm gonna do it." Aaaaaaaand that was pretty much the end of my day at Miller Park thanks to a group of drunks that just wanted to "have fun" and a stadium that didn't care if I had fun.

    If my grandkids had not been there I might have done something more as far as complaining but they were tired and getting cranky. I just didn't feel like having to deal with them considering the mood I was in. And I didn't particularly care for my Eau de Miller Draft cologne either.

    Honestly, I don't understand how the people that run these events can stand by and let people like this ruin it for others. It's highly unlikely that I'll go again because of this, especially with my grandkids. My eldest kept saying that their mommies should wash out their mouths with soap and that they were very bad. Pretty bad when even a 5 yr old can see it.

    Sorry for what happened mom >< I hope their parents are proud of their failure offspring.

    Good thing that you refrained from making a scene in front of the kids even if it would've felt good to do something crazy, don't want em to turn out like that scum.

      1- Were you honestly expecting better from the audience at any sporting event? Ever? In the history of mankind? There is a reason I don't go to rock concerts, even though I love the music.
      2- The fact that your grandchildren were there is exactly why you should've done more than complain. Sounds like harassment, possibly assault, drunk and disorderly conduct, or plenty of other charges could be tossed at them. Let the cops figure it out.

        Can't remember a single time getting drunk at a concert and behaving like that, its not the alcohol alone.

          I spoke with 2 of the stadium staff. One came out to talk to me around the 6th inning. He took me aside and said that the stadium can't do anything unless they physically assualt me. More than a few people in our section left early because of them. And MLB wonders why fans aren't going to the stadium to watch games as much anymore. I'd say this is a HUGE deterrent.

            I'm sorry that happened to you, but I agree a call to the cops would've been very appropiate. Specially if one of the guys had charges removed recently, him bragging about it would've given him a harder time finding sympathy from a judge a second time.

              Wow, some people. >< What a bunch of fucking douchebags.

              Write a letter to the management of the stadium, it may be "too little, too late," but you were upset with how the guards handled the situation and the management should know. Be sure to insinuate that you will not be coming back as long as people are able to act in such a way and ruin things for others.

                Yep Aks, did that right after I put this up. I tried to get tickets in the 'family' section but they were full and this was the adjacent section. Obviously more than a few other families did the same thing since there were several young children around us.

                  They couldn't get them for public intox? At the very least they could ask them to leave, I call BS that there was nothing they could do.

                    Does really matter if the security guards can or not. That conduct was obviously illegal in some way or another, and police have every ability to kick them out (or arrest them), regardless of the decisions of the stadium. Same as if someone is causing trouble in any other business.

                      There are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.

                      Look, you can write a letter, and that'll do something for you. It'll clear your conscience and it'll probably score you free tickets to the next Brewers game. Unfortunately, that's actually all it'll do. What happened to you is in the past now, the management of the Brewers can attempt to appease you by plying you with free goods and services, but they can't really do anything to improve your game experience based on one complaint. (Ok, well they can, but probably won't). Chances are pretty good they've already written you off as a paying customer. Most likely scenario in my opinion is they concentrate on attracting new customers. Unfortunately, those morons in back of you were probably this demographic.

                      Certain things require you to be assertive. This is one of them. Feba is actually right here, you've got public intox, potential assault, drunk and disorderly conduct, but he left out an important one: making threats. If they've threatened you with bodily injury, that's actually probable cause for police to show up and search them for other potential criminal activities. Remember also, you're at a sporting event, IN PUBLIC. There are other people around you. If they've threatened other people around you, this could be considered making a terrorist threat. They threatened to follow you back to your car and beat you, as well as your grand kids. You don't do that in this country.

                      What you should've done is walk over to the nearest payphone, dial the police departments dispatch line, (Stay off 911, you'll just PO an operator), and explain your situation. Chances are extremely good that there are already cops in the stadium, your security guard was just too lazy to summon them or didn't know how. This is what they're here for. Go ahead and use them.

                        Wow, you have a lot of patience TGM, or a lot of self control. I would have turned around and stabbed them with whatever I could find. Nobody insults me family, or threatens to physically harm them when I'm around. As Feba mentioned, the cops would have been a very good idea. I'm sorry that your day went badly, hopefully tomorow will fair a bit better.

                          While I'm sure every stadium runs things differently, that doesn't sound right that the security can only have a word with them. If that's all they can do then what the heck is the point in the security? There should have been something that security could have done with all of that harrassment going on.

                          And don't forget you can always ask for an escort from security to your car if you feel threatened.


                          You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

                          I don't have a big ego, it just has a large mouth.

                            The first time the beer got spilled on me or my friends/family woulda been the last. Fucking throw beer back at them.

                            Alcohol doesn't make a smart person stupid; alcohol enhances the stupidity already within someone.

                            And as far as the security goes, that's total BS. Harassment of the people paying your salary is a big deal. I probably would have had someone call the police (I can't because I don't like the police too much) on them for being drunk+disorderly in public. Honestly, I would demand the management of the stadium refund my tickets at the very least lest I start up a shit storm with them.

                            Sorry you had to experience more of the fucktards that make up America, TGM.

                              I don't know how baseball matches are policed, but if that was a football match in the Uk, they would have been thrown out. Because of the nature of the football match and the people that go to watch it, their is a zero tolerance here. In every town most of the police are at the game. My local team Lincoln city has a stadium with a capacity of 8000. we have 60 stewards and 30 police officers on duty at every match. when the match finishes their are even more police to escort the fans to their various transport points, they close whole roads down to move them etc, have CCTV vans, police dogs etc.

                              In fact any sporting event in the Uk has this kind of police presence. any "breach of the peace" which is what you described as happening in the first 2 incidents, would have meant they would be out on their arses.

                              I have a feeling the low paid security guard at your match was basically trying to avoid any conflict not because of training, but because he just couldn't be arsed. Make sure you put this (better worded of course) into your letter to the stadium and see if you can get refunds for your tickets. also mention that you took your grandkids to see the match to show them how great the sport is and now this has been severely tarnished by this event and the kids don't want to go to a match ever again (basically your telling them they have just lost 2 people who could have been regulars giving them money in the future, their kids etc etc.)

                              I don't see the point of drinking and getting absolutely trolleyed at sporting events and concerts, ticket prices ain't cheap so you want to remember the match/gig. yet people drink so much, they forget it and have wasted their money the "I saw such and such"... Were they any good?.... "I don't remember!"

                              one thing I will say is that all UK sporting events are alcohol free. and if you are seen as tipsy or drunk, you will not be let into the stadium, we have had a violent past with sport and they are really taking it serious that any abuse no matter how small is dealt with swiftly. I only wish that happened at your match to not spoil a family day out.
