As long as the security personnel are properly trained & aware anything is possible as long as they plan ahead for any situation.



I was also curious as to why it's a trend in NCAA Athletics, yet rarely seen in HS & Pro Athletics.
If a stadium wants to rush the field/court, it WILL happen. It's a simple numbers game.

Also, rushing the court probably happens more often then you think at the high school level as Welpe pointed out. I have seen it happen a couple of times to games I've attended. Usually as a result of a last second shot. I think part of the reason fans don't rush the field/court for professional sports is..well it just isn't done. It's not really part of the tradition. High school and more so at the college level, it's been tradition to rush in certain situations. Other factors include the success of the school's program, rivalry game, championship game, etc.

And totally off topic (not that this thread is even on topic), why do you put your quoted text under your reply instead of replying under the quoted text? It makes your posts harder to read and is not in line with what everyone else does here.
