Professional sports facilities: safety.
Summary
Existing law makes it unlawful for any person attending a professional sporting event to throw any object on or across the court or field of play with the intent to interfere with play or distract a player, or enter upon the court or field of play without permission from an authorized person any time after the authorized participants of play have entered the court or field to begin the sporting event and until the participants of play have completed the playing time of the sporting event. This bill would require the owner of any professional sports facility to post written notices displaying the text message number and telephone number to contact arena security in order to report a violent act, as provided.
