My Predictions

Will any KC Chief's fan be ejected for violating any of the Chiefs Fan Code of Conduct by 11/02/08?

Settled as No

No such reports found

Background:

Upon first reading this, I have to admit that I wondered if it was a joke, but here ya go...

Fans are asked to treat Chiefs games like bowling matches.
The Kansas City Chiefs have a "Fan Code of Conduct," which is essentially a list of rules that fans have to follow when they're attending a game at Arrowhead Stadium.
In practice, though, it might not be such a great idea, especially if the person responsible for coming up with the rules is an 85-year-old woman who teaches the 2nd grade and regards standing up as one of the evil things that young whippersnappers often do. Seriously, standing erect is the No. 2 item on the list of things that are prohibited:
• Standing and/or obstructing the view of other fans

Not only that, Pro Football Talk points out how seated fans can anonymously tattle on their upright counterparts:

The Chiefs also have set up a text-messaging system that allows fans who might be offended by behaviors like standing to report the situation to the powers-that-be.

___________________

For Settlement: Through mid-season (figured it would happen by then, if at all), will it be reported (by a major news source) that a fan was ejected for violating any of the items listed in the Code of Conduect (i.e. swearing, standing, sitting in the wrong seat, etc). If the Code of Conduct is edited, lifted, or anything else, then the question should settle as NO.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

This is funny. I'm picking "yes" just to have it in my Hubdub file so I can follow the story and the outcome. Nice job posting this one. Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Might be fun to see which one of the codes were violated, if it is settled as yes...or if someone used the text message alert system. Too funny.

Well, as a former Chiefs season ticket holder, I can assure you they have no trouble kicking people out. It happened a couple times a year in the area I was in and I'm guessing I wasn't just coincidently in the area reserved for hooligans.

I'm wagering yes but I'm worried about the ability to settle it based on the publication of the event in a major (or even minor) news source. However, if there is any such thing, I'm probably among the most likely to see it here in KC so I'll be sure to let ya' all know.

Keep us posted, swilson! And no helping with this one by sending a text message to report an offense! :)
