Speaking of Cleveland( I try not to) what party affiliation were the Who fans that stomped other fans to death? Probably "independents". Or as we now call them ,Republicans with blind folds on (as in I voted against him).LOL

Last I checked, pro sports are not government or public property, which makes them private property, which is what the Constitution is all about. So you bet your Texan tushie they're constitutionally protected!

BUT... most venues that are used by professional sports are publicly owned and operated.

The real problem is more people care about sports than they do anything else, and it is just like Rome.

Can you be more specific? I'm not finding anything. Or are you just making this up to look smart?

Yes, but there aren't any FEDERAL venues. If a city deemed it necessary to close a venue, it would just lose the revenue, and the franchise would move to a different city. It's still free enterprise, but with the local governments as a partner.

That's when they lifted the ban. The trampling happened Dec 3, 1979.

I stand corrected twice,hell I knew that ,I was just testing you.By the way,I WAS at Altamont,unfortuantly,and it remains the most nightmarish thing and place I've ever done and been.Everytime I drive through the Altamont Pass it all comes back.
They just closed the old race track a few months ago. The Altamont Speedway is the official name of the "venue".May it rest in peace.
