All avid sports fans cherish the opportunity to support their favorite teams in person. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I was excited to watch my hometown Cavs take on the Miami Heat last Thursday night in my first experience at an opposition’s venue. I quickly realized that visiting fans are not afforded the same rights as their home team counterparts, and my ability to peacefully cheer for my team was stifled by both the surrounding fans and officers of the law.
