I learned something about the Super Bowl during my first trip to the big one – the upper deck crowd is rowdy. At least they were in Santa Clara at Super Bowl 50 where this guy was walked out by cops during the first half for some sort of disturbance about 7-8 rows above us where some lady complained to a security guard about the guy. Some woman was also walked out.
I didn’t see if the guy and woman returned. There were no more disturbances, so I’ll assume they didn’t return.

Yes, people get arrested at Super Bowls. From the San Jose Mercury News:
About 20 people were arrested Sunday at Super Bowl 50 for a score of relatively minor offenses that covered public drunkenness and some assorted swindling, according to Santa Clara police, overseers of the massive security operation at Levi’s Stadium.
The upper deck ticket face value was $1,000. Tickets in the 45-50 yard line range were going for at least $3,000 for the lower rows, according to a ticket broker source.
Add it all up and you have to be one of the dumbest drunks of all time to get kicked out of a Super Bowl. The beers were $13 and our section ran out of Bud Light aluminum bottles.
