Really? Was it necessary? Do they really cause problems? This article was in the Phoenix Business Journal. The Los Angeles Dodgers came to town for a weekend series with our Diamondbacks. A good crowd attended, mostly D-back fans, but of course, Dodger blue migrated to the valley to see their team. Apparently, Dodger fans exclusively, like to bring beach balls into the stadium to knock around during the game. Now I do not know the policy concerning these beach balls, but as long as they do not wind up on the field regularly, shouldn't they be allowed? Isn't that part of the fun they try to promote so you will go to a game?
Ushers at stadium entrances had fans take off their caps and hats and inspected bags. Just to find the beach balls? Isn't is overkill?
D-backs spokeswoman Catherine Herman said ushers were checking for the beach balls that Dodgers fans like to bring to games. Shouldn't they be more concerned with other think that can actually harm us?
I think that the beach balls shouldn't be a focused issue. By trying to eliminate them, aren't you encouraging them to bring more and sneak them?
They eluded to the fact that it was the Dodger's fans. If I wear Diamondback colors, can I bring a beach ball in? If this is the case, do we now have to have everyone undress to see if they have Dodger blue on underneath Diamondback red?
I just think its sad that they try to regulate something like this. I am sure they have better, more pressing things to attend to.

Couldn't those guards be charged with some kind of racial profiling if they are strip searching Dodger fans and not Dback fans? (I mean seriously, some guys don't want to take off their hats to reveal their naked, balding heads.)
