In need of advice

[Missyg6477]

We have sat in the same seats for the last 2 seasons (not very long by tiger standards) .We love where we sit and have no plans or had no plans on switching seats until now. Last week I noticed that the man sitting in front of us was drunk, he was loud and yelling at the players. It bothered us but we just figured that we probably do stuff that irritates people too.

Tonight I am sitting behind him and as he is coming down the aisle I smell the alcohol. He was not drinking at the game though. He is yet again yelling and screaming at the players, we do not say anything, figuring that he can have his own opinion.(even though we do not feel that it is appropriate) He then began singling 1 player out after a play and yelling at him. My husband and I make a comment to each other after a fumble and this gentleman turns around tells my husband to shut up. Yet again we just let it go.

Any idea's on what to do? Should we just continue to not say anything? MY main concern is that I usually have my 4 yr old daughter and I do not want her to have to deal with this or think that it is okay to treat others this way.

I do not know if I would be out of line to say something to him or the woman that he is with, in a nice polite way. Any idea's?

You know what? Usually people who act like that will not respond respectfully to you because they are INCONSIDERATE DRUNKS!

I would do one of two things. Either go down and report his behavior to one of the stadium attendants or officers, OR, just move your seats. I know Michelle will accomodate you. There are plenty of good seats that are still open and available. This would probably be the better option rather than having to deal with this person all season long.

You and the daughter stay home next home game, and have your husband take his brother or a buddy. If he gets out of line, either beat his brains in , or ask for assistance from a police officer.

It is against the law to be drunk in public and disorderly.

I was very glad that I did not bring our daughter this week. But the funniest thing about all of this is that my husband is a deputy, but in Wayne County. When he told my husband to shut up it took all I had to not say anything. I actually laughed(which probably was not the best thing to do). We are taking our daughter to the game next week, so we probably will not take her to the next home game. I of course would not miss a game no matter what.

Thanks for the advice and if anyone else has any ideas let me know. I will let you know what happens.

Here is what you do. Take one of those long plastic horns and get it close to his face and then blow as hard as you can. Get confetti and toss it all over the guy. Just do anything that will bother him. Hopefully, you have a big husband.

Or just look for better seats.

PBTS is a big place. I know it's sad that you fell you have to move because of the actions of one individual. But if you're not firmly committed to those seats, that would likely be the best option.

If you choose to stay, talk to the people at the ticket office and advise security personnel.

I think I've seen the dude. Does he have real short hair(army cut)?

I've seen him passed out in his mini van after the game.:wall:
Then woke up and left the parking lot with his headlights off.:bomb:

You may be kidding, but just for the record, the guy you are referring to has season tickets behind us.
He has very much behaved himself during the games.
(Except I think he's hitting on my wife when I leave to use the rest room.)

No offense, but it's also against the law to "beat his brains in".

Rather than have her husband get into trouble for trying to shut this idiot up and getting him to act like an adult, I would just report him to an official or a police officer at the stadium and let them handle him and his ridiculous behavior. Can't he be arrested for disorderly conduct?

What the heck is this guy doing getting trashed at a kids' sporting event anyways? If he's that into getting drunk, why not just go to a bar instead of ruining the game for everyone around him?

Also, she and her husband and their daughter should not be the ones who should have to give up their seats because of someone's else's boorish behavior. Make the drunk move instead.

Unfortunately, PBTS is full of drunks with nothing else better to do than hoot and holler at a high school football game. You ever notice all the drinking before games in the surrounding parking lots? Unreal and sad...

[Rushfan]

Read the back of your tickets.Quote,"Persons guilty of disorderly conduct,drinking intoxicants in the stands or drunkeness will be removed from the stadium.",unquote.If there are so many drunks at PBTS why aren't the cops or security doing something about it?

I can't believe some of you are actually saying that she should move her seats. To hell with this sloven idiot. Get a couple of witnesses, report his ass and have his white-trash ass thrown out. This is ridiculous to have to endure this during the game. And if none of this works, DAWGH8R actually has the right plan in the first place.

Um I would also like to re-introduce the analogy of people that are living in glass houses.

OK. Then you and I agree. :cool:

I want to say thank you to everyone for the advice. I guess I still have a week to decide what I am going to do. My husband and I are going to take my daughter to the home game on the 14th. I am either going to do one of the following:

When his wife gets there, she usually does before him, we are going to talk to her about the situation and explain that our 4 yr old is with us and I really want her to have a good time. Someway I can delicatly ask her to tell her husband to chill on screaming at the players. If that does not work one of us will go straight to an attendant or a police officer.

My second option is to just go let an attendant or police officer know, before the game, what has been going on for the last 2 weeks and hope that they will watch out for it.

I can also wish that after last week he or his wife were embarrassed by his behavior and moved their seats.

I was thinking about coming up with a tip board or something and take bets in the section to see when he would get himself kicked out of the game.:smile:
