If you don't want fans throwing snow, remove the snow.

were you at the game? there were piles of really good snow. i dont know how you can say it was all water soaked snow. granted, the snow underneath your boots wasnt any good, but the piles everywhere else were.
anyone can sit there and dream up ways in which throwing snowballs is childish and idiotic, and vice versa
there were several circumstances in which snowballs were thrown
a. balls thrown from the upper deck that only made it into the stands below. this was stupid and childish
b. balls thrown at fans, cops, and security. this was stupid and childish
c. balls thrown at the players as they were playing on the field. this would only have been ok if we were losing badly as it could be considered temporary insanity under the stressfull emotional circumstances otherwise, it was kind of stupid.
d. balls thrown onto the field of play, far enough away so that the game could not be affected by it. i see nothing wrong with this.
e. balls thrown at mangini that hit people from new england. this is a tough one. collateral damage.
f. balls thrown at mangini that hit him or any other jets executive. nothing wrong with that.
Good point. Given the revenue extracted for seats and parking, the quality of experience at Gillette with the infringement of Patriots Place construction has deteriorated markedly. Removing snow from the stadium was within Kraft's control. Many people missed the game because the parking situation is SO screwed up that they were caught out on Route 1 even up to halftime. After driving to the game over 100 miles on unplowed highways (nice job Governor), I think I went to my last winter game. Got there in time but the drive was totally unsafe.
It snowed 5 inches the morning of the game. No way on earth it could have been removed by game time. You think it would just be simple enought to assume we're all grown up enough to know better.
