Tough rules and lots of cops have been the rule since rowdy fans brawled at Invesco in 1999, prompting police to scatter the crowds with pepper spray and tear gas. Seventy-seven people were arrested.

This is about as inaccurate as it gets:
Here, let me rewrite it accurately for you:
"Tough rules and lots of cops have been the rule since drunk CSU fans acted like idiots at Invesco in 1999, prompting police to scatter the crowds with pepper spray and tear gas. Seventy-seven people were arrested. No CU fans were involved."

I had a horrible run in with the DPD one week ago. I was at the Rockies game last friday with my parents and my sister. My sister is epileptic but she has it under control for the most part. She had a seizure in the 8th inning and the paramedics did a great job getting her back. She didn't require an ambulance but they wanted us to get her to an emergency room just to be sure. The game was just about over so the paramedics told me to get the car and bring it to the front of the stadium. They would radio the police officer and let him know to let me through.
So I got the car and pulled up to the front of the stadium. The cop that was there ran up to my car and started cursing at me, "CAN'T YOU ****ING READ A SIGN." I calmly explained the situation and he screamed again, "Bull****!" Then he threatened arrest if I was lying. He called in and everything I said was verified. But no apology. He just said Next time I need to check with him first.
****ing assholes. I know there are good cops out there but the bad ones seem to be getting worse.
Message to Denver police chief: **** you.
