Friday night, my family and I ventured down to Phoenix, AZ to catch the Diamondbacks/Dodgers games. Being an avid D-Backs fan, it should go without saying that I had a good time. Got to love it when your teams whoops on a divisional rival, and you're there to take it in firsthand.
The thing that I noticed while I was there, though, was that people are drinking a TON of beer at the game. I personally spent $45 on beer alone. Crazy, but not as crazy as my realization. What type of insurance covers a place like a sports arena? First off, you have a lot of people drinking and having a grand old time. Most of them are at least taking on a decent buzz. Then you have thousands of steps going up and down the whole ball park. I'm amazed that more people do not drunkenly plummet down the steps.
I understand that the ballpark can't be held responsible for those who willingly drink the alcohol and then trip themselves. What I'm wondering about is the people who are slammed into by the falling drunks. Those people were just minding their own business, enjoying the game, when some inebriated clutz plummets through them causing who knows what kind of damage. Seems to me that those people would have quite a lawsuit against the falling jerk and the the ballpark.
Insurance for that has got to be a bitch.
