A problem at Toyota Center...

You've got to be kidding me. It's people like this thread starter that help maintain a civilized society.

 

If your afraid I will go to the game with you and kick the guys ass if he trys to hurt you just let me know.

 

So many stupid responses, I don't even know where to start.

Getting rowdy about the game is fine, even encouraged, but no one should have to put up with some drunken hillbilly trash verbally threatening you in front of you family. It's a Rocket game, not some Tennesse biker bar. You shouldn't have to defend your honor while watching the game. Security should have kicked that butter-hog loser out.

I suspect that the people in this thread that are giving the predictable "grow a pair, you should've kicked his ass" answers are the same people who, in the same situation, would have pissed their pants and started to cry.

 

hehehe, so wrong yet so true

 

Getting only one side of the story, i cant say i know what really happened. what i do know is that every rockets game where ive sat in the good seats, i find myself surrounded by loads of guys still in their work slacks and shooting dirty looks towards my friends and i every time we cheer loudly. it seems so many regular season games are half populated by business men talking shop w/clients and any fans rooting draws their ire. maybe its gotten better recently, but considering the moneyed snobs in houston, i would be suprised. btw, i agree there is no place for profanity with so many kids around, but it shouldnt be shocking- we love our rockets!

 

When I first started reading this, I thought you were describing me and my 5 friends that "upgraded" on Sunday night. We were down on the 3rd row though. Moving seats is not stealing it is preventing waste...Some people are sooo greedy buying good tickets and not coming 2 theh game, expecting the seats to be empty. There are starving kids in Africa that dont have the opportunity to change seats at a Rox game...U all should be grateful....I'm done.

 

I remember you saying that you worked for the rox a while ago & getting excited as we had 2 "official" posters. What area are you in? Tim signs his name/position...

 

Let them go down when Rockets are only seling 9,000 tickets.

But if the Rockets start to win and they sellout, guess who wont have a seat?

That "rude" guy. Screw'em!

So, he gets a "good seat" when the Rox are an average team. It's best to have the good seats when the Rox are a great team!

That's a hot ticket!

 

Wuss

 

I never suggested an ass kicking or any kind of taking the law into your own hands.

What I meant is that the poster would have better success by getting in those guys' faces instead of being polite to them, then seeking out an usher. You know as well as I do that by the time the usher gets down the row, those jerks will play innocent and act like angels, then be that much worse once the usher is gone - you have the same problem at movie theaters.

Whether at the movies or at a game, I handle guys like these by getting out of my seat, facing them, and telling them to quit embarrassing themselves by acting like total asses in public. You don't need to hit anyone - just show your teeth, act like you mean business, and they'll calm down.

I'm telling you that civility never works with those who lack civility from the start - it's a language that they don't understand. So, I say again, grow a pair and just deal with it.

 

This is the stupidest post I have ever read in my life. I do it all the time and will do it every single time I go to the game!

this dude's a wussy with a "p".

Get a life rich boy.....

 

You know, fan etiquette is something that I'd like to see addressed here at Clutch City. On other words, I'd like to see people on this board reach some kind of loose consensus on what kind of behavior is appropriate at games and what is not.

For example, I drop about 5 F-bombs at every game I attended. Some would consider that rude and unacceptable, while others probably drop one for every turnover the Rockets make.

Clearly there is a line between fans just getting excited and fans just being obnoxious, but it's a very fine line and one that I think should be explored in this forum.

 

I know for some of you guys it's just a night out with the fellows. But if you act as if you were attending the game with your wife/mom/daughter, then there would be exponentially less F-bombs getting flung around. Remember, for alot of people it IS a night out with their wife/mom/daughter and they don't want to hear other people say these things either.
As for Furious Jam, getting in a guys face might get them to back down in some situations... but getting into a verbally-violent, drunk guys face with 5 friends to back him up is a good way to push him over the edge.

 

Wow threats thats just wrong whoever was the security guard over there needs to get slaped and than fired cuz thats not cool

 

Do you call take something out of your neighbor's garbage stealing? Hey, if that guy who paid the tickets are using those seat, and I took it from them, then that's steal. I'm only using other's gabage, how you calling it stealing?

As for my personal life, I don't need you to teach me what's moral and what's not, I HAVE NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO ACCUSE ME !!

 

While we on the topic, would it be rude or unnacceptable to drop about 5 air bombs during a game, those nachos can build up...

 

The upper level is so steap. If you jump or trip, walking down the stairs, you'll fall into the lower-bowl.

 

First, I wouldn't take a wife/mom/daughter to the game unless they were as passionate about it as I am. Rockets tickets are overpriced as is, so I'm not going to bring a date or a relative to a game just for the sake of having them there. The point is that, if the girl's into the game, she'll understanding a little cursing and may even let a few fly herself.

Second, if a guy is obnoxious because he's drunk, then you go get the usher because (A) if he's drunk it won't matter what you say back to him and (B) if you can tell that he's drunk, the usher will probably be able to see that too. When I'm talking about standing up to people, I'm talking about bullies and jerks at the game, not drunks - I realize that it can be the same thing sometimes (a jerk who is drunk), hence your confusion about my comments.

But some people are naturally obnoxious and those people you should stand up to, no matter how many buddies are with them. 99 times out of 100, they won't get physical with you. And if they do physically threaten you, that's assault - screw the usher and get a cop.

All this being said, the ushers should be trained to be proactive and to monitor this kind of stuff. But training takes money and time (which is money), and we know that Le$ would hate that. Instead of posting his problems on this board, our wuss needs to complain him (or his underlings).

 

I thought wrestling was fake. Am I missing something?
