What's Your Worst Stadium Experience?

Alcohol plays a prominent role in tailgating. Rowdiness at games is encouraged and celebrated.

Sometimes, however, fans cross the line with boorish behavior, fighting and abusive language.

Stadium security personnel at schools such as Auburn are fighting back with technology, encouraging fans to contact them by text message when the situation near them gets out of control. Fans can also use the system to report problems such as broken seats or dirty bathrooms.

ESPN would like to hear your story. What is the worst experience you've had with other fans at a game? Did you report a problem? How did the game day staff there handle the problem?

Tune in to "Outside the Lines" on Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. for a full discussion of the topic.
