Pitch attacks , known as rushing to the bard or invading a field in North America, occur when a person or crowd watching sports events runs into the play area to celebrate or protest an incident. Field invasion can involve individual people or capacity crowds. It can cost you a fine or jail time.

Section 10.5 of the Southeastern Conference Act has a favorable policy adopted in 2004 for major sports: $ 5,000 for first offense, $ 25,000 for second offense, and $ 50,000 for third and subsequent violations over the last three years. invasion. In May 2015, penalties increased to $ 50,000, $ 100,000, and $ 250,000 for the first, second, and third subsequent plus, respective offenses, respectively. Periods for past offenses also increased from three years to five.
Kentucky Wildcats have been hit with "triple" for three football field invasions within eleven months:
- On November 4, 2006, the team was fined $ 5,000 for a field invasion after a football victory against Georgia.
- On September 15, 2007, the team was fined $ 25,000 for field invasion after a non-conference football victory against archrival Louisville.
- On October 13, 2007, the team was fined $ 50,000 for a field invasion after a triple football victory against the LSU top-ranked team.
Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Missouri have been fined $ 25,000 for a second offense violation, but most SEC schools have been fined $ 5,000. Missouri was fine in their second offense after just three years as a SEC member: both came as supporters flooded Faurot Field after the team reached a trip to the SEC Championship Game, in 2013 and 2014. Note that in association football, Kentucky and South Carolina has rules applicable for women's games, but since the men's game is held under the auspices of the USA Conference, there is no good pitch invasion in the sport.
Auburn became the first SEC institution to be fined a maximum of $ 250,000 after its football victory over Alabama on 25 November 2017. It came on the offense following Auburn's victory over Alabama in football in 2013 and Kentucky in men's basketball in 2016.
Other conference convictions
Other conferences have similar additional rules; in some conferences, field invasion rules are reset to zero after five years without field invasion, and fines multiply if a player or officer is injured by a field invasion.
However, recently, several conferences began to crack down on field invasion in all sports.
Tear down the goal post
There has been a long tradition in American football - especially in college football - where fans celebrating big wins will tear down the post on the pitch after the game. No one knows exactly when or how the tradition began. The Boston Public Library has a collection of photographs of fans who destroyed the goalposts in 1940.
Breaking down a goal post can be dangerous, however, because people can be injured or killed by fallen goal posts. People who sit or hang on the goalposts while they are being pulled can get hurt if dropped or if they land hard on the ground when the goalposts collapse. The camera equipment of the game announcer attached to the goal produces another possible injury. These dangers can create legal implications for schools, places and places where the game takes place.
In Massachusetts, there are state laws that specifically prohibit the illegal circulation of goal posts on the soccer field. Chapter 266, Section 104A of Massachusetts General Law provides: "Anyone who intentionally and without the right of destroying, injuring or removing a goal post on a football field shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty or more than two hundred dollars." The Massachusetts state legislature enacted the law in 1960 in response to the tragedy that occurred in the previous year. On November 26, 1959 (Thanksgiving Day of the year), a 14-year-old girl in Foxborough, Jane Puffer, was hit on the head by a fallen goalpost. He has become part of the crowd that is on the field after the end of a high school soccer game while a group of fans tear down the goalposts. The steel troopers suddenly collapsed to the ground, and Puffer was hit by a blow because he seemed to be trying to push another girl out of his way. He died of his wound the next day. The state legislature enacted the law the following year, and the law has remained unchanged ever since.
Regardless of the law, on December 22, 1985, New England Patriots fans knocked down the goalpost at the Sullivan Stadium (also at Foxborough) to celebrate the team's win there in the regular season finals against the Cincinnati Bengals, who grabbed an anchor berth for the Patriots. Some fans carry a goalpost outside the stadium, where they cause it to come into contact with high-voltage power lines overhead. A man nearby, Jon Pallazola, was seriously injured. There is evidence that he was injured when he tried to protect himself from being hit by a fallen goalpost soon after becoming electric. Pallazola then sued a private security firm that has been contracted to provide security at the stadium. He received a grand jury verdict against the company, and then settled his claim against the company for $ 4.5 million. He also sued the City of Foxborough but, in 1994, the Supreme Judicial Court ruled that his claim to the city was banned by state laws that gave city immunity from claims that they failed to provide police protection or prevent crime.
On November 19, 1983, an 18-year-old Harvard University student was critically wounded when he was hit in the back of his head by a goalpost harvested by Harvard fans to celebrate their team's victory over Yale University at Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut. The student, Margaret Cimino, then filed a lawsuit in federal court against Yale, New Haven City, West Haven City, and a security company. He completed his claim against the City of West Haven and the security company. In 1986, a federal judge ruled that Cimino had sufficient evidence to take his claim against Yale and the City of New Haven to court. The parties then reach the settlement before the trial occurs.
On November 21, 1998, a first-year student at Oregon State University was badly wounded when he was hit in the head by fallen goal posts that were defeated by fans after his team won 44-41 double overtime over the University of Oregon. He suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in his brain, but eventually he recovered from his wounds.
In November 2000, University of Texas fans in El Paso knocked down the goalpost after the victory. One fan claimed that he was injured when fans pulled the goalpost down when he hung on them. He sued the University and Texas University System. The Texas midlife appeals court ruled in 2005 that the lawsuit was banned by government immunity.
On October 20, 2001, a 21-year-old Ball State University student became paralyzed when a goalpost ripped off by his comrades to celebrate a triumph landed on his back. The university has encouraged fans to tear down the goalposts, flashing a message on the scoreboard that says, "Goal goal deserted." The student, Andrew Bourne, completed his next claim to the university for $ 300,000, the maximum amount he could get from school under Indiana state law. He also filed a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer of the goalposts, arguing that the goal post was "flawed and unreasonably dangerous." In 2006, the federal appeals court ruled that the manufacturer was not responsible for the danger posed by the goalposts was "clear."
Now, to prevent injury, there is a folded goalpost that stadium staff can stop within seconds after the end of the game to prevent fans tearing it down. There is also a goalpost built in such a way that it can not be removed by fans.
On November 2, 2015, students at the University of Kansas illegally broke into the Memorial Stadium and knocked down the goalposts at the south end of the pitch following the victory of the Kansas City World Series Royals vs Mets of New York at the Citi Field. The goal at the stadium was also torn down after victory by Jayhawks, vs. West Virginia in 2013, Iowa State in 2014 and Texas in 2016.
Maps Pitch invasion
Football Association
The field invasion is unusual but it is not often the case today in top level football, but historically it is usual for the supporters of the winning team in the main game, such as the Cup Final, to flood the field after the final whistle. For example, in the famous Kenneth Wolstenholme "Some people are on the field, they think it's over - now!" comments on BBC television coverage of the 1966 World Cup Final. "They" are fans who have ventured into the field before the end of extra time.
Field invasion became less common after the 1970s and 1980s. Controversially, in that period the fans were barricaded in the stands by the fence but the invasion was common; after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, the barricade form of mass control is expected to be abandoned and field invasion becomes less frequent. This decline is partly due to the fact that in 1991 the field invasion was criminalized in the UK under the Football Violation Act. However, they still occur, especially in the lower divisions where there is little police and security.
Field invasion, hostility and violence, has long been a tradition of Australian football rules. At the end of the Australian rule game, it is traditional for supporters to run to the field to celebrate the game and play a kick-to-kick game with their family. Supporters have also been able to do this during the first half break. In recent years, this is subject to strict control, and eventually banned altogether, in the elite Australian Football League. However, it is still common in country and state football leagues such as the Victoria Football League.
It is also a tradition for football fans to get involved in a midfield match when a player reaches a major achievement, usually the 100th goal of the season, the 1000th career goal, or (in this case) from Tony Lockett's 1320 career goal in 1999), breaking the all-time record of kicks. The AFL has not managed to prevent the mid-game invasion, but the players are completely protected by bodyguards and stadium security while supporters flood into the field.
There have been several unfamiliar field invasions; the most famous of which occurred in the 1967 Tasmanian Mainland League Finals, when hundreds of Wynyard fans stormed the field and knocked down the goalposts to prevent North Hobart forward David Collins from kicking the post after the last siren. The Tasmanian Football League announced the match was no result and held off the 1967 State Premiership.
Another hostile pitch invasion occurred in an AFL night match between St Kilda and Essendon in 1996, when the Waverley Park spotlights lost power during the third quarter and fans rioted in the dark and, incidentally, also lowered the goal. (The last quarter of the match was played three days later.)
Some unusual field invasions have become part of the folklore of football, such as the famous incident of the pig named "Plugger" which was released on the ground in round 18, 1993. Similar animal incidents that invaded the field have also occurred in recent years, including cats wildly caught at AAMI Stadium, as well as occasional dogs. The forbidden practice of "streaking" (walking bare to the ground) takes place in some of the greatest, most celebrated performance of Helen d'Amico in the 1982 VFL Grand Final.
Baseball
In modern baseball, annoying or invading the field is usually done by one or a small number of attention seeking fans or criminals, rather than a large number of people despite the more common riots that have occurred. Almost universally, the intruder will be excluded from the baseball stadium and potentially banned for life from him, and may also face criminal charges depending on the nature of his offense.
In cases where the game is broadcast on television and a person or small group runs into the field, the broadcaster will cut to another camera shot elsewhere in the stadium, to the announcer in the press box, or to the commercial break instead of focusing on people); this is to avoid attention to their behavior, and to prevent imitators who might try the same thing (and sometimes, that person also scratches, to avoid nudity).
Famous incident
- Senator Washington v New York Yankees (September 30, 1971; American League). With the Senators preparing to move to the Dallas area the following season, thousands of non-paying spectators entered RFK Stadium for the Senator's last home game after the safety left mid-game. At the top of the ninth inning, with two out and the Senators leading 7-5, several hundred fans ran to the field, tearing the grass and stealing the base for a souvenir. Without security, orders can not be recovered, and the game was canceled to the Yankees.
- Cleveland Indians v Texas Rangers (June 4, 1974; American League). In an effort to boost attendance, the Indians organized the "Ten Full Moon" promotion, attracting over 25,000 fans - three times from their normal home crowd. The game itself is plagued by sporadic field invasions and objects thrown into the field by drunk fans. In the ninth inning, a fight between intruders and out-of-Texas players, Jeff Burroughs ended in a riot involving thousands of fans and both teams, and the Indians were canceled.
- Los Angeles Dodgers v Chicago Cubs (25 April 1976; National League). Two protesters, William Thomas and his 11-year-old son, ran into the battlefield at Dodger Stadium and tried to burn the American flag they were carrying. Chicago outfielder Rick Monday noticed that they had put the flag on the ground and groped for the match and lighter fluid; He then ran closer and grabbed the flag from the ground into a roar of roar. He handed the flag to Los Angeles pitcher, Doug Rau, after which the ballpark police officer caught the two intruders. When he came to bat in the next round, he got a standing ovation from the Los Angeles crowd and a huge message board behind the left field bench at the stadium gave rise to the message, "RICK MONDAY... YOU MADE GREAT HUGE..." He then said, "If you're going to burn a flag, do not do it around me I've visited too many veteran hospitals and seen too many broken people trying to protect it." On August 25, 2008, Monday was presented with an American flag flown at the National Historical Park Valley Forge in honor of his rescue in 1976.
- New York Yankees v Kansas City Royals (October 14, 1976; Champions League Champions League). Chris Chambliss hit a run-in home run in five games of the series to send the Yankees to their first World Series in twelve years, and fans rushed to the field while Chambliss rounded the base. The scene was so exciting that Chambliss himself was not even sure he touched home plate in a mess, and after being asked about it by the third baseman Graig Nettles, had to be escorted back to the field by police after fans left to step on home plate in a home plate view umpire Art Frantz.
- Chicago White Sox v Detroit Tigers (July 12, 1979, American League). In a promotion known as Disco Demolition Night fans are invited to bring their disco recordings to Comiskey Park. The records will then be destroyed between the game of a newscaster. The fans were so caught up in the anti-disco mania that fans swarmed the field and almost riot broke out. The second game had to be canceled and finally canceled by the White Sox.
Morganna, Bandit Kissing
Morganna, Bandit Kiss became famous for its rush in the field of baseball and other sports from the early 1970s to the 1980s. He rushed the pitch on several occasions and kissed many Major League Baseball players including Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, George Brett (twice), Steve Garvey, and Cal Ripken, Jr.
Basket
College basketball has a similar phenomenon, known as "b b> invade to court ". This usually happens for the same reason as storming the field in college football.
In high school and several colleges, walking in court is the only way to get out of the stands. However, there are usually officials and security officers who limit how far audiences can go to court, at least while players and game officials still leave the court.
Incident
The Indiana University men's basketball team beat number 1 Kentucky Wildcats 73-72 on December 10, 2011, after a three-point shot by Christian Watford with no time left on the clock. Fans at Assembly Hall Indiana filled the court within seconds to create a series of iconic images. ESPN commentator Dick Vitale, who covered the game for the network, said it was "the best game of the year" and that "[t] his atmosphere there was unreal, because I felt the building vibrate after Watford hit the shot. Watford shot won the ESPY Award for Best Play. Kentucky avenged their defeat on their way to the National Championships of the season by beating Indiana 102-90 during the Sixteenth round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Division I in 2012.
Hundreds of students from Iowa State University stormed into court after Cyclones No. No. 83-82 wins from victory over rivals in Iowa state December 11, 2015, at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. As a result, the Des Moines Register sports columnist Randy Peterson suffered a broken leg bone. The incident raises awareness of the dangers of raiding at the palace, but when asked about it in a post-game interview, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm stated, "That's part of college athletics. they... have been camping here (for tickets) for three days.. Maybe there are only 10 schools doing that in the country, give them 15 or 20 minutes to do that.I think it's pretty cool. "
SMA
Although not too publicized as a college incident, fans stormed the court after a big win not infrequently at the high school level. The injuries sustained by some after the Iowa State University basketball team victory over the University of Iowa in December 2015 prompted the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union to issue memoranda to directors and athletic trainers to remind fans that their organization and its organization, the Athletic Association Iowa High School, has a policy that prohibits the trial stormed after a post-season game. "I have to wonder if the injured person is a star player, coach, or one of the game officials if the attitude and need to 'invade the court' might change?" wrote IGHSAU executive director Mike Dick.
Cricket
It used to be a common occurrence at the end of the Cricket test game for the crowd to attack the field to watch the presentation from the balcony pavilion. In Britain, this tradition ended in 2001 after a guard was injured in a field invasion in a one-day match between England and Pakistan. Attacking pitch can now guarantee a fine of £ 1,000 and a lifetime of land. Post-match presentations are now held in the field or in a room within a venue that is restricted from public access and displayed on the video scoreboard if available.
In August 1975, a vandal protesting the armed robber's imprisonment, George Davis, stormed the Headingley Cricket Ground field before the last day of the Third Ashes Test between England and Australia, digging a hole in the field and closing one end of the field in oil. This led to the first declaration of Test soil unfit to play, so the match was abandoned and declared a draw. This is important because it rejects England the chance to tie the series and potentially defend the Ashes; Australia finally took back Ashes.
In 1982, a field invasion at WACA caused Australian bowling player Terry Alderman to suffer a shoulder injury while trying to catch one of the intruders.
The Two International One Day International match on the Bourda field in Georgetown, Guyana has their result disturbed by a ground invasion. In 1993, the crowd raided the final ball of the match when the West Indies ran for a second time to tie the score against Pakistan; then, in 1999, the crowd swarmed on the final ball of the match as Australia ran third to tie the score against the West Indies. In either case, the agile team has had an opportunity to escape to prevent a protracted run, if people do not attack; but in both cases, referee Raman Subba Row's match declared the match to be tied.
Gaelic football and throwing
In Gaelic football and throwing, both of Ireland's national sports, field invasions are acceptable and most viewed in the Provincial and All-Ireland Final. However, there is only one incident at Croke Park, after the Final of the Senior Football Championship of Leinster 2010, due to a crackdown since 2009 by the GAA, although they still occur at other stadiums across the country.
International football rules
The international rules of football, a mix of Aussie Rules and Gaelic football are not known for the field invasion; However, the famous one happened on the first test of the 2006 International Rules Series at Pearse Stadium, Galway after Ireland beat Australia.
The game included some imitators and streakers, but at the end of the game, when Ireland came from behind to win with a goal in the final seconds of the game, a scrambling crowd field, causing much controversy with the Australian players.
Rugby League
In the New South Wales Rugby League match until the 1980s, spectators often took to the field after the game ended a few seconds after the last siren. This requires players to navigate through the crowd when it comes from the field, and cardboard corner posts are usually taken as "souvenirs".
This practice is discouraged when the publicly visible game hours stop with five minutes to be played to ensure that the audience, not knowing when the match will be completed, can not jump the gun and enter the playground with unfinished games. Eventually the tradition is dead, and spectators rarely, if ever, take the field in the current National Rugby League; a $ 7000 fine and a lifetime ban exists for those who do so.
In 2007, the match between Hull Kingston Rovers and Hull FC at Craven Park was also known as 'Hull Derby', the match ended with a score of 30 - 20 in favor of Hull FC. After the final whistle, Hull FC fans raided the field to congratulate their players. The same thing happened in 2015 after Hull beat Rovers 22-12 who secured their play-off spot
Rugby union
Field invasion has occurred throughout the history of the rugby union, with some of the most notable moments. In the past, additional security support has been built in the stadium due to predicted problems. An early example of this was at the 1924 Summer Games, when a wire fence was built to protect the United States players.
Famous tone invasion
During the 1971 Springbok tour, hundreds were arrested after they tried to disrupt a test match between the Springboks and Australia in response to South Africa's apartheid policy. Some people even try to see the goalposts and dig a trench on the surface at Sydney's Cricket Ground to try to stop the test matches ahead, and in Queensland, an emergency is issued following fears caused by the behavior of the people in the previous test. Due to the success of the protests in disrupting the event, the Australian Cricket Board canceled a tour near the South African team for security reasons.
Sports arena
Most sports arenas (such as ice hockey, soccer arena, and indoor football) take precautions to separate the audience from the players and to ensure one can not cross over to the other. This is not only to protect the players but also the audience as it also helps prevent pucks, balls, and other objects from flying at speed to the audience and causing injury. Often, in addition to the side walls, the Plexiglas panel is used as a security measure. Ice Hockey uses panels around ice, team benches, and penalty boxes to enforce the separation under the rules. Furthermore, the ice surface means stepping into the hockey arena without dangerous skates. Some attempts to disrupt arena games usually end with the intervention of physical players.
