I suspect it would me more a concern for the safety of the fans and the ballpark in general from those who were rampaging across the city than any concern about the fans themselves.
Pity they couldn't just play in Bowie or something so fans could still see the game. Would make a heck of an unusual double header if the Baysox were at home, as well.
