JSOnline: Brewers security keyed in on disruptive fans

When fans settle into their seats at Miller Park for a Milwaukee Brewers game, the last thing they want to see is an abusive or out-of-control fan.

This season, the Brewers are using cell phone technology to give fans the ability to text message security personnel. The response is quick, anonymous and, team officials hope, results in a peaceful, non-confrontational solution.

So far, security personnel have responded to an average of seven to eight incidents per game.

During the game Tuesday night, a fan sent a text message from the field level about another fan who would not sit down. A stadium employee responded, gave the man a warning and continued to monitor the situation.

An inning or two later, the fan refused to stop standing and was ejected by police.
