The Cubs help fester this issue of drinking. General admission for 1:20 games is at 11:00 AM, people start lining up at 9 AM and guess what, they start drinking then. Then they run into the park and until 12:00, they get 25% off! so they drink from 11-12 at 25% off, then 12-1:20, get toasted! So you have about 2-3 hours of drinking BEFORE THE GAME! Thank god they stopped serving after the 7th!!!
The Bleachers are a very friendly community! Actually more friendly than the other seats. Sure, DB's are there, but overall it is good people and to pile on to the Bradley situation, anything in the way of a racist comment would be pointed out in a matter of seconds!
Bernstein's rant in between 1:40-1:45 on Thursday about this subject is better than I could ever put it. I have heard a racial comment in the bleachers towards the opposition. About 15 people (all dumb drunk white guys) crowd surfed the guy to security. Self policing.
