I know at a hockey game nearby, they charged a man who threw a can of beer, which hit a mother and child. Mind you, why take an infant to a game?! There are people who can be terribly rude and obnoxous!Jenn Jilkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259681360456905055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-8813286123723942812016-04-09T13:11:50.865-04:002016-04-09T13:11:50.865-04:00I do love John Oliver!

In Western Pennsylvania we have a 1% extra sales tax to build stadiums for which I can't afford to buy a ticket. So while I am not a fan, I am a supporter. For instance the last car I purchased I turned over $250 to the Steelers, Pirates, and the Penguins.

I guess the high-paying seats are the sanitized version.
