a disclaimer on the back of a ticket does not necessarily provide blanket protection... just as when a parking garage has a sign that says “Not Responsible for Damaged or Stolen Property.” we shall see how the Boston courts handle this...

I’m pretty sure it says they can remove you from the stadium for any reason. He wasn’t removed. He was questioned about why his son was on the field.

If you have a heart attack when you are questioned, it’s hard to see how that is the fault of the person questioning you. It’s not like the guard tazed him. It would be unreasonable to expect a security guard to know that talking to a person could give them a heart attack.

Also, it will be hard for her to prove that the guard was even negligent, given that she has no direct knowledge of what the guard said. She’d have to prove that the guard purposely said things to get her husband riled up, and even then I doubt that “excessive talking-to” will ever rise to the level of negligence.

And if the conversation went on for 15 minutes, it would suggest that the guy was an active participant, and probably working himself up quite a bit. You really need to take responsibility for your own actions.

Lastly, it appears he had the heart attack at a moment when he was seated and was not being spoken to by the guard. Which also makes me wonder whether the guard was close enough to really KNOW that the guy was having a heart attack. The story isn’t clear, I’ll have to look for another one.
