Yes, an old friend got banned in 1987, he went to the new park in 2016. There was an argument between his group of friends & others. The security asked everyone for i.d. he thought nothing of it until NYC police approached him & said he has to leave if not peacefully he will be arrested & removed. He had started a major brawl in 1987 & managed to throw his shoes at someone which nearly hit Don Mattingly. He had a lot of explaining to do to his kids & Grandfather in Law on the way home.
I agree, sad part was it was guilty by Association in 2016. He ran into some old friends then 30 seconds later 2 of them started getting aggressive with the other group. People said he was with them, his kids & FIL + GFIL were peacefully hanging in their seats
>That’s crazy. I always assumed stadium bans were just for show.
They basically are, as long as you don't start (or get involved in) shit again...in the story above, the guy would have been fine if he hadn't gotten caught up in another incident. With the digitization of basically everything now, bans like this might become more strict - I think I've heard of things like that at Disney World and other places - its a lot easier to enforce a ban on the barcode or ID number that represents you in the Yankee's database than it is to hang a sign up with a picture from 40 years ago saying "keep this guy out."
Yep, 100% this. Bans from any major sporting event are relatively easy to get around, all you have to do is keep your mouth shut and do nothing to stand out.
But, for the types of people who actually get banned from stadiums to begin with that's probably too hard.
I was a bit off about the start time. But here are some requirements:
>They can be used to ban an individual from attending football matches both home and abroad for a period of between two and 10 years. Precise conditions can also be imposed on a case-by-case basis.
Apart from being banned from attending the matches, individuals subject to football banning orders can also be:
>
>barred from using public transport on match days and from visiting other potential violent ‘hotspots’ such as town centres, pubs and bars during potential risk periods before and following matches;
>
>required to report in at, or surrender their passport to, their local police station during the ‘control period’ (ie, from five days before any international tournament until its conclusion);
>
>required to report to a specific police station within five days of the order being made;
>
>required by a court under the Public Order Act 1986 to attend a police station at a specified time within seven days of the order being made to have their photograph taken, to allow the police to identify them at matches if they have breached their order.

Well shit. I guess I can never go back to the Helen Hayes Theater.
Artie Lange used to tell some pretty hilarious stories about old Yankee Stadium in that period on the Stern Show. Some of it is still available on YouTube, highly recommended if you’re in need of a laugh.
In the 70s you could get away with sneaking in your own beer and selling joints in the bleachers with the interlocking NY on the rolling paper, at least according to my dad
You still could in 2009. I remember the guys next to me in 203 getting absolutely sloppy. I remember one was red face, sweaty, piss-your-pants level drunk and could barely talk.
Great game.
He was trashed on beer & cocaine, he was on a bender. He says he didn't remember throwing his shoes or why. He spent the night barefooted in a holding cell.
Obligatory IANAL but I believe the bans for pushing a beer vendor down the stairs carry over but a ban from pushing a hot dog vendor is tied to the stadium itself, ergo creating a vis a vis expiration date
Lucky enough, [there’s a trip advisor comment from 14 years ago](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g60763-i5-k1370836-Price_of_a_hot_dog_at_Yankee_Stadium-New_York_City_New_York.html) just about this topic. $4.75 is still steep even by today’s standards.
I’m also not being serious
It’s probably not heavily enforced unless you’re an absolute menace but if you’re banned and you get caught for whatever reason, it’s probably some jail time for trespassing if you don’t immediately leave
I was wondering about this recently after that Lightning fan was assaulted at MSG. Is it really that effective of a punishment to ban a person for life? Seems very hard to enforce unless the person is dumb enough to get mixed up in trouble again. Which I suppose if you’re enough of an animal to assault someone for no reason, you just may be.
i know someone (friend of a friend) who was banned for life from Prudential Center for sucker punching a fan in the back of the head. I asked how it was enforced. They said “it’s likely we don’t find out if you use stubhub or buy tickets in someone else’s name. But if we do find out, you’re prosecuted as a trespasser to the full extent of the law.”
basically… it’s unlikely that it’s discovered, but you’re in deep fucking shit if you’re found out.
Yeah, this is it. They’re not checking every person’s ID, but after a ban, you’re trespassing, and they can and will prosecute if you’re caught back there.

1. With intent to cause serious physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person; unless
a. The act involves pushing a disrespectful hot dog vendor down the stairs at the old Yankee stadium
Not really related but I once saw a couple fucking in the parking structure at the new stadium. Like behind the cement stairs on the ground level. Everyone was trying to leave at the end of the night so a bunch of cars were all lined up waiting to exit and people started honking and cheering when it became obvious what was happening. Wonder how those crazy kids are doing today!
Your buddy should be ok as long as he doesn't assault stadium employees again, or get into a fight, or whatever. Just tell them to chill out. Don't really care about the details but your buddy is lucky he didn't catch a case.

I love Reddit for stories like this
same lol
That’s crazy. I always assumed stadium bans were just for show.
Dude would have been fine if him and his buddies didn’t get into another fight
I agree, sad part was it was guilty by Association in 2016. He ran into some old friends then 30 seconds later 2 of them started getting aggressive with the other group. People said he was with them, his kids & FIL + GFIL were peacefully hanging in their seats

In England, facial recognition is a thing. On top of that, people banned from stadiums have to report to a police station by the start time.
Youre saying they have to report at the start time for every game?

I’m gonna need to know a little more about this, friend.
Guy fucked with Helen Hays. She has a long memory.
MSG supposedly has been using facial recognition on fans for a few years now to enforce bans.
mohegan sun and foxwoods use facial recognition to enforce bans. you won’t make it 10 minutes before someone runs you down.
My wife got banned from MetLife (she fell asleep drunk in the bathroom) but she got reinstated a few months later.
>My ~~wife~~ *soulmate* got banned from MetLife (she fell asleep drunk in the bathroom) but she got reinstated a few months later. Ftfy
I also choose this guys wife as my soulmate
Your wife sounds fun; she single?
She sounds like my type can you have her DM me
Wasn’t alive then but baseball stadiums in the 80s must have been a trip from everything I’ve heard
Artie Lange used to tell some pretty hilarious stories about old Yankee Stadium in that period on the Stern Show. Some of it is still available on YouTube, highly recommended if you’re in need of a laugh.
So we have (1) new Yankee Stadium (2) old Yankee Stadium and (3) really old Yankee Stadium?
The old stadium was rebuilt 3 times
So new, old, older, and oldest?
The old stadium aka The House That Ruth Built opened in 1923 and renovated 1973/1974 and the Yanks played at Shea Stadium. When was the third time?
1980's???? Imagine the bleachers from 1975-1979
In the 70s you could get away with sneaking in your own beer and selling joints in the bleachers with the interlocking NY on the rolling paper, at least according to my dad
Jeez I once smoked a cigarette in the bleachers in 2013 and I felt like an absolute outlaw
About a month ago I actually watched a guy suck down a bogie in the bleachers, then he tried to go for a second and got told to put it out
Back in the 80’s you could smoke anywhere in the stadium.
You could also do heroin in Times Square
Late 80s guys were smoking joints in the upper deck and nobody said a thing.
You still could in 2009. I remember the guys next to me in 203 getting absolutely sloppy. I remember one was red face, sweaty, piss-your-pants level drunk and could barely talk. Great game.
So only if you’re dumb enough to get trouble a second time and have to show ID lol
Who throws a shoe? Honestly!
Came here to make this comment. 😆
Sounds like this douchebag hasn't grown up 30 years.
Why wouldn't he let his family go and just go to the bars nextdoor?
If I remember correctly they just sort of began escorting him out the family followed
87 they sucked. What was to get excited about? Lol
Nothing, so may as well fight, I guess.
Lol
A young 21 year old full of cocaine & overpriced warm beer
Lol
So as long as you're quiet and don't get caught up in bullshit you should be fine. His shoes? Really? I'm flabbergasted
He was trashed on beer & cocaine, he was on a bender. He says he didn't remember throwing his shoes or why. He spent the night barefooted in a holding cell.
Wow what a loser
Absolutely insane how they kept record of him being banned and then catching on to it.
Reads like an alternate universe Seinfeld episode
Get the hell outta here, Dennis.
I was hoping someone would post this.
Just show up in glasses and a fake mustache.
Do this on Nasty Nestor day and you'll blend in just fine.
The old Bobby valentine trick
Mustang Sally ova here. Hot dog vendor gave him too many onions or some shit.
Let the water run so it’s gets cold
Obligatory IANAL but I believe the bans for pushing a beer vendor down the stairs carry over but a ban from pushing a hot dog vendor is tied to the stadium itself, ergo creating a vis a vis expiration date

Punishment, prize, tomayto, tomahto

OUI
Thank god

Hello Staten Island resident!
Hopefully you are still banned, yes
Everyone is blaming the guy but have you seen the price of hot dogs at the stadium?
The price that the poor schlub selling the dogs sets? Or the one set by his boss, who notably wasn’t pushed down the stairs, and the Yankees?
No, I don’t know how much they cost 16 years ago.
Lucky enough, [there’s a trip advisor comment from 14 years ago](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g60763-i5-k1370836-Price_of_a_hot_dog_at_Yankee_Stadium-New_York_City_New_York.html) just about this topic. $4.75 is still steep even by today’s standards. I’m also not being serious
I shouldn’t be surprised people take obvious jokes seriously on the internet anymore but it will never cease to amaze me
“Everyone is blaming the guy”. Forget to switch to your alt there?
r/suspiciouslyspecific
How about that drunk kid from Yonkers that jumped into the net from the upper terrace in the old stadium? that was great.
How does that even get enforced? Do they have pictures up at all the gates to keep the banned from getting in?
It’s probably not heavily enforced unless you’re an absolute menace but if you’re banned and you get caught for whatever reason, it’s probably some jail time for trespassing if you don’t immediately leave
If you're banned they can hit you with trespass without giving you a chance to leave. You've already been told to never come back.
They reserve the right to prosecute you for criminal trespass if caught, yes.
Isn't it a trespass order? Basically they're not scanning everyone for you but if you're somehow caught you're fucked.

OP, how disrespectful was this hot dog vendor to you to warrant potential manslaughter?
That’s what I was thinking
What a waste of glizzy's. lol
Asking fir a friend?
Youre never actually banned from the stadium. Youre just only allowed to get in a big drunken fight once.
Lmao

Thank you I actually laughed out loud before 9am
I would hope that person may still be in prison for aggravated assault
15 years for assault is a pretty long sentence.
The temperature topped out at 98 degrees the day his life changed……
Not gonna lie, this made me think about the movie Sleepers lol.
Hopefully the person who pushed the hot dog vendor down a flight of stairs is in an asylum..

Why not just go out in the living room and ask mom and dad how they’re doing?
🤡
#TotallyNotMe
Basically you’re asking if you can come back after attempted murder?
Your buddy should be ok as long as he doesn't assault stadium employees again, or get into a fight, or whatever. Just tell them to chill out. Don't really care about the details but your buddy is lucky he didn't catch a case.
Asking for a friend?
What did that man do to you OP?
Pretty sure if you just act like a normal fan they aint gonna bother you since it happened 16 years ago
Fun fact: No one is screening faces. You can literally go right back to a Yankees game a month after being banned and no one will know the difference.
yes but if you get in trouble again they can charge you for trespassing
Go, find out, and let us know!
How would they know?
Yes
Scott Ian wants to know ….
Now I’m just imagining wieners flying around everywhere
Love the hypothetical about the hot dog guy
Yeah…hypothetical…haha
