Fans become overly rowdy

The only thing officials should do if there is a fan issue is ask game management to handle it. If GM was attempting to handle it and couldn't, I'm not sure what else the officials could have done, other than identifying specific people they wanted removed and holding the game up until it's time to play again.

Truth is, GM should handle more of these issues before officials ever have to intervene. I don't hear a lot of what's happening in the stands and I have 10 players and two benches to worry about. There is nothing stopping game management from removing people without being asked by the officials to do so. I wish more GM was proactive in this way.
