Went to the Blackhawks game last night. Great game and the best seats I've ever had at a hockey game. - pmb May 4, 07:20 9
- glass seats are really the best seats at a sporting event. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:20 8
  - I don't like sitting close to the glass at hockey. Tough to see the entire action. - Reagen May 4, 07:23 6
    - I agree. My ideal seats would be 1st row in the 2nd bowl right at centre ice. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:24 1
      - I had those tickets recently. They're brilliant. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:25

        There's definitely a tradeoff, but it's a great experience. I've been on the floor for a basketball game and it's the same. You see a different game - pmb May 4, 07:28
        
        I remember being in awe of the game from the first row glass seats. - groiny May 4, 07:25

I'm with ML...after that coach was attacked by fans jumping on the field...I say taser the shit out of someone jumping on the field. - Jim May 4, 06:33 37

- Because I never watch baseball, what happens to the TV coverage when someone runs on the field? Do they put the TV cameras on the guy, or do they cut - Roger More May 4, 06:54 3
  - Cut away in most instances. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 06:56 2
    - they used to show it in the 70s and into the 80s, unless it was a streaker. -- nm - zork May 4, 07:10 1

  - Personally, I don't think jumping in the middle of a field during a major league game is "any situation." - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:46 17

      - If fans jump on to the field and start injuring players, they'll put up some sort of barrier to stop it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:57 15

        I haven't been to a MLB game in many years, but as long as there's signs indicating "Appropriate Force may be used if anyone runs on the field," I'm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:05 13
        
        that still leaves the question open of when is tasering an "appropriate" measure of force. - znufrii May 4, 07:10 4
        
        No, I think there is no question. Jump on the field, that's it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:17 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Yes. You jump on the field of play, for the safety of the players, you may get tasered. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:23 1
        
        Screw that...post it up "you jump of the field, you WILL be tasered". And be done with it. - Jim May 4, 07:25
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        It makes it ok for the safety and security of the players. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:15 6
        
        So if tasers aren't a deterrent, why use them? (unless a player's safety is at risk) -- nm - Roger More May 4, 07:18
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        My categorical "it's always ok to use it" is to subdue someone. No, if they're already subdued, then it's not appropriate. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:21
