Damn, if only they had a net.......:rolleyes:
Kid fell 10 to 15 feet while on a rock climbing wall and died. Damn, that's pretty shitty. That isn't very high but he had brain injuries from it so that's what will get ya. Like taking a foul ball to the dome.

And if the accident was due to the park not addressing safety concerns, someone will pay for it. That's the way this works. Except in baseball.

I'm not saying I care one way or another about this rule, but I just have trouble caring about the decisions made by a for-profit business. If they piss off their "customers," so be it. That's what capitalism is all about.
A ball breaking a seat would make sportscenter.....this is bull shit

Why would a broken seat make SportsCenter? You don't think a hard hit baseball can crack or damage a plastic seat if it hits it just right? Probably happens frequently, and repairing the damage is just a normal part of stadium maintenance.

I assume that if it had exploded like a bomb on impact, he would have mentioned that.

ROFL Yeah, it just cracked the seat back. It wasn't like a bomb went off.

The interesting part is that it went through the rib cage of the person in the seat.

It also works the other way around. Kids love sitting that close. Why ruin the experience for kids or parents because a few people are slightly inconvenienced? Even though I'm pretty sure after a few games most people wouldn't even notice.
Not really. They could just sit behind the ample space that already provides protection with nets.

Or just put in the nets and anyone can sit wherever they want. Who's excluding who at this point? By the way, another fan got drilled by a line drive in LA today.

You don't notice the nets at all. There is no reason to not have them.

Do you even care how many dolphins are killed by nets each year?

I agree. I have done it and your eyes forget they're there pretty quickly. I actually ended up loving it because you're not always anxious about watching every split second of the game. We've reached kind of a silly point where in order to keep the game convenient for some fans, it's been suggested that we exclude other fans (like families, kids...). I'd think inconvenience is a much better outcome than exclusion.

Dang, what a thing to be outraged by. How do you feel about PPE?

And then, bam. The next time you're in a forest on Endor, you walk right into one of these.

Exactly. They didn't even see the nets.
