Watch the scoreboard next time. There's a phone number to call for disruptive fan behaviour.

Mike, in a case such as this it would of been far more effective to simply walk right up to them look them in the black of the eye and tell them to SIT THE blank DOWN NOW!....honestly I'm not kidding you'd be suprised at the result!
Good luck.

Yeah, that guy in the white hair was in our section. He was acting like a complete tool ... he told off an old man usher ... no respect whatsoever, I was shocked they didn't get kicked out.

Good luck. Actually, from what I saw (can't speak for Mike), it wasn't that they were standing, it was that they were leaning over the rail. They have added stickers on the front row which clearly state: DO NOT LEAN OVER RAIL. The reason for this is that if they lean over the rail, literally half the ice is obstructed for all fans around them. This is the same reason they now have the wheelchair section set back. It is a serious problem ... but these two guys just didn't care.

Clearly most wpg'ers don't know how to treat this situation yet. When I was in edm for a game some guy kicked the back of my chair hard and yelled NO LEANING!

My son works security for some of the game, I will have to show him this picture, he would have no problem telling these two tools to sit down. He would also enjoy draging them out too, if you know what I mean.

Anybody that pulls that crap and ignores security/usher should be #1 tossed out for that game #2 Told if it happens again, your season tickets are cancelled.

The message on the PA and scoreboard with the phone number says this type of behaviour is an "automatic game misconduct".

I hate to say it but the balcony in the old barn didn't have that problem, hell each row sat at about shoulder level of the row in front of it! I'm no engineer but would it be possible to remove the steel mesh entirely and literally just have a plexiglass wall infront?..... damn that would fell pretty cool for the first row, and it just might inadvertently keep people from leaning forward cause it would feel like you were sitting on a ledge!

There have been rumblings that the railing will eventually be replaced with plexiglass of some sort, but no idea how soon that will be. I hope it is sooner, rather than later, as my seats in the wheelchair section now are severely obstructed.

Good luck with them, i hope you get some results. I had a young, polite usher who would ask people to stand back and they would basically ignore him. They would head down the stairs and then instead of going out, just stand there watching the action, thereby completely blocking everyone's view of the goalie net and action around it. Finally we started yelling "STAND BACK" and then the usher would try again to move them off. A bit frustrating and hopefully this doesn't occur next game.
