↵People are throwing up on themselves (and others) and not even bothering to at least go to the restroom and try and wash it off. Nope, they’d rather wear it the rest of the game like some Chunky Badge of Courage. Pushing, shoving, beer-spilling, nacho cheese-tossing and a general degradation of social interaction is now considered the norm.

The homophobic taunting is commonplace, and of course the swearing is off the charts, which normally wouldn’t bother me so much except for the fact that Crowd Control has made of point of saying you can’t say "fuck". So why have a policy if you’re not going to enforce it?
And here’s the latest low – guys are starting to relieve themselves in the bleachers. That’s right – IN the bleachers. Apparently they attempt to stream it into a cup but given their drunken state, it’s only a matter of time before their aim is off or the cup is knocked over. I’m more than prepared for a beer spill here and there, but when that yellow waterfall is something besides Old Style, that’s it for me.
The Wrigley Field Bleachers: A Fine Cesspool Of Puke And Piss
↵That’s the description of the current state in the Wrigley Field bleachers from a reader at SB Nation’s Bleed Cubbie Blue. It’s like the Preakness infield, 81 times a year. Al Yellon, the editor of BCB who watches every Cubs home game from the bleachers, thinks something needs to be done. He’s laid out a four-step plan to clean things up: End the college discount dates; Hire more security; Put police officers in the bleachers; Reduce alcohol sales and hours and places of sale.
↵Check out the full post, where he expounds on all of these ideas. He’s not trying to be a killjoy; just trying to enjoy a ballgame without puddles of puke and piss forming around his feet.
