Not the coach. Just the team.

Several seconds later, the policeman came back and took 2 other fans in the front row, who showed their disgust by arguing with the officer and throwing their jackets into the stands in protest!
Any idea(s) why the official was asking for the fan to be removed? I can see the removing of the other fans for the disorderly conduct.

I'll agree they were off base in threatening a forfeit.
That about sums it up.

I've had one time I talked to game management. I made them aware of the threats and they had the fan leave.

To sum things up as for Game Management at my alma mater, the primary crowd control is only the Principal, Asst. Principal, & AD. Other than that, the rest of the school staff are there as spectators & nothing more.

Some of the schools in my area, have actual security personnel that serve as crowd control during games, but unfortunately not all have that system in place.

Majority of the crowd control that occurs at my alma mater is done by a volunteer crew whose hands are tied due to rules/regulations.

As I see it, if you're school faculty & you're attending an event where your school is actively participating, you should treat the event like a regular school day & enforce the rules of the evnt.

No Idea...I was up in the cheap seats! I assume that he said something, because no one came onto the floor.

The last time I had a fan removed, the rest of the supporters for the same team cheered....they didn't like what the guy was doing either! :p
