Do you think sports  stadiums should be closed , just because fan express what the fell ?

Fans do not have a right to express everything they feel, especially if it leads to violence. Throwing objects that hit players or rioting is unacceptable. So, at times, yes, games have to be played behind closed doors to punish clubs whose fans behave in an unacceptable way.

I would have to agree with you in a way. NY sports should be in NY, although, where would you propose this stadium go? I do think that NY sports should start leveraging available land and subway lines in Queens and Brooklyn.

Actually if the name of the park does not glorify one person or corporation it seems like a good name. Yea name it after the type of park or arena to the team of the area that pertains to that sport. If it is commercially sponsored it kills the spirit of a team identity. What if the Roman Colisieum was named after some rich temporary corporation of its time, do you think it would of been marveled as the greatest arenas of all times?! Imagine Bartles and James Colisium, or Rigo Spumanti Winer-arena! ... but I bet in that stadium there must of been at least  one wardrobe malfunction per games at halftime! Also it was designed for all sports, even chariot races, maybe they could of called it Chariot-ona 500! There is where you can put your greedy sponsors, on the chariots themselves!

Riots are related to football/soccer more than any other sport I know of. I don't agree about the passion of the fans statement above. There is no need for that. It's a group of people with no self control or respect. Rivalry should never be taken to extremes like that. It brings the game down as well as embarrasses the team or country that they represent. What is achieved by all the riots anyway. Nothing but arrests and injuries to other people and so many innocent people get caught in the cross fire. I think they should be ashamed of themselves but they won't be as they don't care.

Nope.\nDon't care at ALL for sports.

I'm concerned about them. Im a big Juventus fan, and I just hope it can all be cleared out.

I don't know what happened but I would contact the owner of the stadium or the team owner and maybe write a letter to be published in the Plain Dealer\nIf you feel comfrotable explaining what happened please do

I think this is an absolutely ridiculous proposition you have made. The beautiful game that is soccer will be reduced to nothing more than a pathetic farce. Let me explain why.\n\nEven though the spectators might be paying to be substituted on, there is no guarantee that they are playing for the side they are on. Since the opposition coach is choosing who goes on, he could very well choose a fan who is on his side. This fan would simply need to score own goals.\n\nAlso, what about the OTHER spectators, the tens of thousands of others who paid to watch a decent game. Who would want to watch just about any other Tom, Dick or Harry playing??\n\nFinally, let's say the match is a World Cup match. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the spectator who joins the match isn't of the same nationality as the team?\n\nThere are millions more reasons to reject your absurd idea, security issues being one of them, but I suppose discerning readers and like-minded soccer fans will know from a glance that you are a somewhat odd man.

Whatever they paid... wasn't worth it. Millions of fans were heart-broken.\nBTW, you sure they paid? You know our football players tend to have the worst luck ever.

world peace would be maintained by listening to more Sting and U2...\nsoccer fans are always trying to kill each other\nteam sports generally teach to "hate" the other team (or other country)

To the press..its all about winning but in sports today..its what the people want to see so realelsiticly evreything is about money..sadly

Players need to forget about the money and play for the game and for the fans. And owners need to stop looking at pro sports as a for-profit business. Then all will be right in sports.

didnt mention what pub it was chancer.........anyhoo the scum who did this should be banned from ever football ground in the country united must have a list of names of who had tickets........i remember years ago when the last england scotland game was played at hampden i was going to work roughly about 8 o'clock in the morning walking past central station when a bunch of english supporters came of the overnight train from london they started picking fights with anyone who was walking passed apart from the guys about my age in my twenties this mob from the other night sound the same as those twats i saw all those years ago....only picking fights with people they know will not retaliate.....all football hooligans are scum and the sooner the clubs bar these numpties from football the better for all concerned

They need to start by replacing everything around it first. The ballpark is falling apart and as much as fans for some reason love it, it's really time for it to go. I hear they could build a brand new park in Arkansas for very little.

A better question might be: why should they? \nWhy should I, as a non-fan, be forced to pay for a seriously resource-draining, polluting behemoth of a stadium to be built in my city to attract a ton of annoying fan traffic and make millions and millions of dollars for team owners who are already plenty-rich and probably paying less in taxes than I am?\nI support paying taxes to pay for things that will benefit society at large, like for instance, SCHOOLS, maybe?  Public transportation? Pot-hole filling?  Not to reline the pockets of a bunch of suits.

To Chef now yo.\nYOU are talking through your hole. Being Irish and having watched the dirty scum bag English hooligans come over to my Country and smash our stadium up  and put countless people in hospital after England went - 1-0 down in 1994, i got to see first hand what the media repeatedly get the blame for  in England. How can you even try to defend that kind of behaviour. You can't.Yes .i agree the loss of the Leeds fan in turkey was very sad, but does it give You the right to intimidate and vandalise wherever you go. Travel abroad with any other nation and watch everyone take step back when all the English thugs arrive. You can't justify football hooliganism and as a Brit you  should look a bit closer to home before criticising other nations. Blame everybody but yourself. Some of my closest friends and family are English and agree with me entirely

No one should have a problem with it, they should be happy that it was resolved and not drawn out. Unless you really care what the players make, it was just an irritation for the fans
