I think the nadir was the series of incidents here in Los Angeles with fans of rival teams being beaten nearly to death. I read one article where the police likened the scene in the bleachers at Dodger Stadium to a prison yard. To avoid getting sued the Dodgers really stepped up security and safety policies w/r/t beer sales.
