Has anyone noticed that the way the cup holders are positioned is a safety hazzard? There is not much room to walk between the rows when entering or exiting their seat, and the cup holders are not that much higher than ground level. A person tripped and actually fell on another person. I think he might have tripped over one of those cup holders. Luckily no one was hurt.

He might have spilled a $12 beer too . . I hope not ;)

He probably didnt trip over the cup holder, he tripped cause he was drunk.

The biggest hazard, is that the cup holders lean back, so if you place your full beer in it, some will spill out.

Why would a beer ever leave your hand without having drank (drank, drunk? whichever) some of it first?

Yeah, you have to drink it down first. I think a bigger hazard is when people, particularly clumsy ones, walk past and you worry frantically that they will bump your beer in the cup holder, spilling $1 droplets onto the ground. ;)

People should just watch where they walk. Even with the cup holders, there is more room to walk than last year.

If you have food with you, you might want to sit down til you get settled but they do spill, I learned that personally. Its two gulps first from now on.

First time I have been in the Grandstand since I have a Terrace Level Saturday Partial Season Plan. Laugh if you want but I think those cup holders are in a damned dangerous place. LOL.
Yeah I noticed that too with the cup holders. I suppose it's a bit of a hazard. Not sure where you would forward such a concern, but it might be worth doing...I hadn't thought about someone tripping, but I definitely felt like any drink I would put there would be knocked out and spilled.

It's only a matter of time until someone gets seriously hurt. Maybe I am making a big deal about nothing but I can't believe no one has thought of the same thing. Maybe I will contact the Yankees. And like someone said the way they are slanted it's easy to spill a drink
