I was in that area just two weeks ago, returning from a cruise. The area near the hotel the night before felt totally safe and pleasant. The way that stadium is situated, there's no way people could leave that game, get to their cars, and get home if the riots moved down there....it's a really expansive area.

How dumb can these folks be? If it were "black JOBS matter" a lot more black lives would be saved. The city has become rather pleasant for tourists. The new casino is probably within the riot zone; nothing like making it unapproachable. If cruise ships use that port, that's a whole lot of revenue for the city and jobs. Discourage tourists and people from outside the city going to sports events and that's a lot more idle young people to keep rioting through the summer.

Is this the first time out of control riots have affected a major sports event?

Don’t know but most cities make sure they don’t when doing the PC thing directly conflicts with their money the green will get the nod every time, press be dammed.

Last night’s attendance at the game was their normal season’s average. Today’s game will tell. Game starts at 1:35 PM. Don’t know if the afternoon start will help but if I lived there I would think twice if I really needed to go that area or game until things settle down.
