They show up at Nascar events, Baseball games, Football games, etc,etc. They know next to nothing about what they are watching, they are there to get drunk and stupid in a large crowd. I don't think sex in the stairwells is too far fetched. I saw more bare chested women in person at the derby than I have seen in my whole life and I got around as a youth. Some of them came in the men's room and flashed and then used the facilities with quite a few males using the pee troughs.

Not sure who is familiar with the Belmont layout and who is not, so I will try and portray clearly. There is a 4th floor at the Big B. Basically, it's on the 3rd floor but you have to take about 12 stairs up to the 4th floor (instead of a seperate escalator up). It is really only used on Belmont Stakes day. I love those seats as you are high up and the public doesn't really go for them first (when sales are hard). I got seats for the 2008 Belmont Stakes, 1st row inside the 1/16th pole on the 4th floor.
What I saw, I can not desrcibe how repulsed I was. I had my then 65 year old ginger mother with me and my then girlfriend of 6 years. We had 3 seats first row ready to see if Big Brown would win or not. We listened to Frank Sinatra at about 10 minutes to post and then the chaos began.
An onslought of trash bumrushed the ushers and peace officers UP the 12 stairs. These disusting vile pieces of trash were rude, loud, obnoxious, half naked and oozing of slime. WE, meaning everyone in the first and second row (maybe 3rd row) COULD NOT SEE A DARN THING excpept for the back of these POSs heads. I am a racing fanatic. I was at the track since negative 9M (Meaning since I was conceived by my mother and father).
I was NOT about to let this garbage ruin my Belmont Stakes. My mother, my girlfriend and I were not about to maybe miss history because of these pigs.
Yes, I yelled at them. That didn't work. I cursed at them, that got their attention but that didn't work, so I resorted to the next logical item on the chart....
Public humiliation.....
I turned to the crowd behind me, asked them "Who's p***ed off that these people in front of us, WHO DIDNT PAY FOR SEATS LIKE WE DID"?
Most all people screamed in return....I said let them KNOW IT. So, I started a chant, Get the BLANK out of our way. Get the BLANK out of our way, Get the BLANK out of our way.
When I had the chance, I started another chant, YOU ARE A POS, YOU ARE A POS, YOU ARE A POS.
That was the one that got them to go back down (and I'm not talking about 2 or 3 'people', I'm talking 25-30 "people" that got back down.
I felt most sorry for the ushers and temporary peace officers. (I Know every single peace officer at NYRA).
A few guys yelled back at me: "Enjoy the race, it's your last" or "YOUR DEAD, right after the race"
Not a pleasant experience. Sorry for the readboard but I did cash a nice Friday to Saturday double to D'Tara-paid $555 if I remember correctly LOL but it didn't matter if I hit for a million.
That was truly disgusting and I hope it didn't happen in 2015 (I had to miss this year's stakes as my mother was critical and had to tend to her).
I was a bit younger, the testosterone was gushing and I reacted.
I don't blame NYRA at all for it as these people (and I hate typing the word people as they are NOT human. I hate to use the word animal to describe a human as I love animals toooo much) are vile and disgusting.
