From what I observed, none of the fans in the area were giving anybody any problems. If anything, it looked like staff were giving people a hard time about not having tickets in the assigned seating areas. Ok, fair enough but they don't need to use public slander against paying customers and supporters. This is just salt on the wound for a dilapidated stadium. The configurations and sight lines are bad enough. I can't believe Gold Cup matches are gonna be there not to mention the Coliseum folks are interested in becoming a serious candidate as a 2018/2022 World Cup venue. I don't even want to think about how security staff would handle fans from visiting countries. I say keep the matches in the South Bay. Have the "big" games at Stanford. The Coliseum has become depressing. I was in the supporters sections and observed hostility and aggressiveness from security/usher staff towards fans in the sections.
