Bengals fans can call special line to report unruly behavior
Bengals fans annoyed by bad behavior in the stands can now report it by cell phone.
The hot line number should be easy to remember — (513) 381-JERK.
Fans using too much foul language will first get a warning from stadium security. Those who continue could be ejected and have their season tickets and personal seat licenses revoked. More serious offenses could lead to arrest.
The team doesn’t want to become the “curse police,” but expects fans to behave themselves, said Bob Bedinghaus, the Bengals’ director of development for Paul Brown Stadium.
“You need to understand you’re coming to an NFL football game,” Bedinghaus said. “On the other hand, we want to make sure that we’re paying attention to those folks who are going over the line.”
When callers report problems such as threats, fights or drunkenness, security officials will use the stadium’s video cameras to focus on the offenders and then respond.
Fans have complained to team officials that beer is increasing the problem with misbehavior in the stands.
