June 22, 200817 yr I was sitting in the left field bleachers and security was constantly telling sox and cub fans to sit down. I found this very odd as it is a sporting event and you should be allowed to support your team. I have been to a ton of other parks and have never heard of this before. Did anyone else have security hassle them this weekend?

Did anyone else have security hassle them this weekend? I was in LF on Friday and also found this odd. You get up to cheer (for the first 7 innings on Friday I actually had a reason) and some old turd comes over to tell you to sit down. It's the bleachers in a dump for crying out loud.

Did anyone else have security hassle them this weekend? I was in the bleachers at Wrigley 2 years ago when they played the Tigers (it was the one time I actually cheered for the Cubs and Detroit smoked them), and I noticed the same thing. Anytime you even tried to stand up for anything, even an exciting play, there would be a security guard immediately telling you to sit down. I have never seen that anywhere else and didn't make any sense to me...

With a crowd under 4000 people a person could really enjoy the game.. I think the band member may have also been the security force.
