I had a case several years ago involving a race track (REAL small time; not exactly Daytona) where someone who entered the pit area was struck and killed by a tire coming off a race car (yes, it was very bizarre). Anyway, part of the litigation concerned whether he had signed the necessary injury waiver required to enter the pit area. Supposedly, those that signed got a wristband (similar to a hospital one) and those that didn't, didn't get in.

I can foresee a time where it will be required at some locales that fans sign a behavioral agreement and get a wristband just to enter close quartered events like basketball games. The only thing is that I've never had any problems at schools and arenas that had put some thought into game administration, particularly concerning security and fan control. Its the ones that don't put any thought or effort into it and wouldn't have this wrist band policy where the problems would lie. Sort of a conundrum.
