California lawmaker proposes getting tough on fighting fans
Tens of thousands of pumped-up fans. Testosterone. Beer. Tailgating. Even guns. That combustible mix led to a storm of violence at Saturday's 49ers-Raiders game at Candlestick Park. Now, it has spawned a rash of remedies -- including a legislative proposal Tuesday to get tough on fighting fans. But just exactly how will the 49ers carry out their stepped-up pledge to bar troublemakers from ever entering the turnstile? For one, a team spokesman said Tuesday, they'll be looking harder than ever for fans who drink too much -- even before the game.
