	They don't have any.. they haven't paid a cent to watch the game
	if anyones rights are being stomped on its the networks, THEY have
	paid an enormous amount of money to broadcast the game. 

	I do agree with your first statment though, fan behavior is a problem
	which can and should be controlled.  Although the fans are integral
	to professional football it's not good bussiness sense to allow fan
	behavior to reduce the value of your product.  

	Besides, I think the whole noise issue is a little overated, The
	Gophers still lost to Michigan, and The Vikings just lost to
	The Saints fer crissakes...
