Bleacher Seats: Please Don't Steal My Fun
A couple years ago there was a story about a man and woman, whom police charged with stripping the aluminum bleacher seats from three Anne Arundel County parks and selling the metal for recycling.
We think of bleacher seats at the Ball Park and large stadiums because that's where a lot of people have loads of fun, watching their favorite teams play, and concerts through the year. But the fact is there's more aluminum in one location than any other one place.
The police went on to say, "Robert Edward Johnston, 33, and Cindy Joy Ward, 34, face three counts of felony theft each in the incidents." Police suspect that the two might have been involved in a similar theft and an attempted theft of bleacher seats at Kinder Farm Park in Millersville, both of which took place in the same time period.
In this current economy, I don't think the value of aluminum is quite as high as it was two years ago, but, the thought of people going into a stadium or large ball park and trying to steal bleacher seats is pretty sad in two ways.
Bleacher seats are a part of Americana. They're a part of who we are Americans and the social interaction we have when we spend weekends and nights watching our favorite teams play on the football, baseball and tennis courts all over the country.
There's nothing wrong with collecting aluminum cans and old scrap aluminum for some extra money, but stealing bleacher seats is too much!
Some of the best memories I had as a kid was when I went into the stadium to watch baseball and football teams in my home town, do battle with those "other" teams. Even more recent, I remember sitting in the stands watching my son and daughter play baseball and softball while they were still going to school.
If I had pulled up to a stadium and been told, "We're sorry, the game can't be played today, someone stole the aluminum bleacher seats, I would NOT be a happy camper." These seats are a part of our fabric as a people. They're the bleacher seats of camaraderie and friendship. Where else can 100-75,000 different people spend time together, enjoying the same thing and laugh and talk together, forgetting most everything else that bothered them earlier in the day?
That's right! But they do warm up most of the time and so do the friendships that form at this same location, with people that would hardly ever have had the chance to laugh and enjoy each other's company before.
Sitting in a hard and sometimes rather cold bleacher seat, some wonderful things happen.

Will NRL teams fold when the AFL buys the Olympic Stadium??
The AFL have offered 200 million for the ground, I know NRL clubs get 100,000 to play there so what will happen when the AFL juggernaut buys the place for the Swans and the new West Sydney team? where will the Rugby play, surely not back at the old suburban grounds, they lose a lot of money when they go home, why doesn't the NRL build a Rugby League ground to cater for all the clubs, they could get out of it on the cheap by making it 10,000 seat capacity, I know it would rarely get filled but I reckon I have got it right again...DISCUSS
Spot on Danni, a slow painful death !!
Wow your bloody brilliant.
Despite what any AFL follower will tell you, it is slightly above watching grass grow in terms of an entertainment spectacle. It does not have any significant following outside of the Australian states of Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania, with the more open-minded Australians (i.e. New South Wales and Queensland) preferring Rugby League and Rugby Union. Even dwarf-tossing is more popular in these states.
