The 500 level at the Toronto Blue Jays home opener against the Red Sox turned into an all out brawl as fans argued over something stupid, like who sucks more.
The money shot comes when a dude gets flipped down the stairs.

Time to Get Some Sweep: Halladay vs. Beckett
Drunk Jays Fans —
Time to Get Some Sweep, really? That's seriously the best headline I can come up with? Ugh... The Sox and Jays throw their aces at each other this afternoon, but I wouldn't go planning on settling for a pitchers' duel just yet. Josh Beckett will make his first start of the young season, which has been delayed until now because of a back injury, so here's hoping some combination of rust and his career 6.16 ERA at the Rogers Centre will be enough to keep the Jays' bats rolling. I'm honestly not sure if it would be more satisfying to see the Jays sweep because of what it means in the standings and for the team's early-season confidence, or because it ...
Blue Jays Fans Cannot Hold Their Liquor
N/A —
The Toronto Blue Jays are thinking of scrapping their $2 upper deck seat promotion because too many fights occurred during the past couple $2 seat nights: Nearly 100 fans were ejected from Rogers Centre in both the April 4 home opener against Boston and Tuesday's game against Oakland, mostly for "alcohol-related" incidents, Godfrey said. A man and a woman, both shirtless, ran onto the field in the ninth inning of the home opener. See, when you give away seats for that cheap the only thing to do with the extra money is to spend it on booze. Unfortunately, it appears a bunch of Canadians cannot hold their liquor (wonder ...
Blue Jays Ban Upper Level Beer Due to Brawlin'
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae —
A few Dollar Dog Nights into last season, we wondered whether the 300 Level at Citizens Bank Park was rapidly becoming the new incarnation of our namesake back at Veterans Stadium. Early reports are that the upper level shenanigans are continuing this year, but also that they're not just a Philly thing. There were some battles in the stands at Shea this week, and the fans in Toronto have taken to punching each other as well. In fact, Blue Jays management has already taken drastic measures to curb the beer tossing and man pushing. They've done the unthinkable—banned beer in the 500 Level.

Bugs and Cranks Top 30: Week 3 - Worst Rankings Ever?
Bugs & Cranks —
Or maybe the best?
Ranking teams is hard. There are two distinct schools when it comes to rankings and this week those schools clashed violently at the Bugs and Cranks Stuffed Laboratory of Silly Putty in Lower East Palm Village. Isn’t it convenient that our big brawl occurred in a place with walls made out of jello?
Rankings are usually based upon two things (leaving personal bias out); current performance and expected future performance. Detroit is a great example of this contrast. When the great minds met in the Silly Putty Dome (it’s in between the jello bank and the nerf mansion at the lab), one side screamed for Detroit ...
Blue Jays Fans Just Wouldn't Stop Until They Finally Took Away The Booze
No Guts, No Glory —
So it has finally happened. Yep, the booze wasn't flowing during yesterday's Tigers-Blue Jays game and it won't be for three additional dates because according to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, folks in Toronto can't hold their liquor. The panel cited five broken rules at baseball and football games and concerts dating to the Canadian Football League championship game in 2007. The stadium will also be dry on April 21 when Toronto plays Texas, and for a CFL game on Aug. 1.The ban was put into place on Tuesday because Monday's game was delayed nine minutes in the eighth inning when fans threw two baseballs in the ...
