Golden Wheels Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The Browns announced before the season that their parking lots would open 3 hours later than in the past on game days. Now they are enforcing new policies regarding fan behavior called "Home Field Advantage". Fans are encouraged to text message stadium security to tattle on other "unruly" fans. At Sunday’s home opener, Browns fans also got their first look at new signs encouraging people to respect the Browns’ tradition, games and other fans. 16 people were arrested on various charges at yesterday's game. Fred Booker, a 50-year-old Browns usher from Cleveland, said he and his colleagues were told by management to watch out for people acting too belligerently. "You never really know how it is going to be from game to game, but for the most part, people have been behaving," Booker said. But not all fans agreed with the conduct policy, saying it targets longtime passionate Browns supporters. Nick Rundo sat in the Dawg Pound for most of the game with a beer in his hand. The season ticket holder said he has attended games for many years and sees the issue from both sides. "I'm not going to cuss around any kids or get crazy, but sometimes, there is too much aggression by the cops," Rundo said. "They mess with us, and we spend our hard-earned money to come to these games. "The new rules are for the yuppies, and honestly, if you are one, don't come to the game." http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/09/browns_fans_on_best_behavior.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
