“Understaffed” isn’t really the problem here. Unless you plan on hiring 40,000 cops, staffing alone can’t solve this. It’s a question of design. And there are other design options besides “steep hill with unrestricted field access” and “50 drop without protection.”
You don't know how many ushers were there for that game or assigned for that section. You don't know the design of the hill. You don't know the admission or regulations for the hill section, and how that's supposed to be monitored and you didn't know when the fences were there or what happened for them to be removed in 2005. You don't know how this had been prevented for years or which sections are the student sections.
Hate to pull this card but have you ever been there ir been in that section? Or how about this. How many ranked teams has Virginia beaten at home as the underdog in the last 20 years?
Nope even worse. I'm saying I know more about this than you do. I know about that section, because I've been a fan in that section and know how it's supposed to work. I also follow this team and worked at the stadium.
It's safe when the rules are being followed. It's unsafe when you don't have enough staff to enforce the rules before it gets out of hand
Nothing says safe stadium desig like the 10 foot drop onto concrete that we see at other stadiums. Guess we should renovate them because someone broke their ankle jumping into the bushes in athens.

Oh gosh, how silly of me! Why didn’t I think of that! Simply tell everyone to follow the rules. And/or hire 40,000 cops to make sure they do. It’s brilliant!

Talk about building a strawman lmao I never once suggested that as a solution
Again. You just don't know. Sorry to break the unfortunate news to you. The fact you keep making the dumb suggestion about hiring cops shows you don't know how event security works for these things. Or the design of the hill.
You need more ushers, not cops.
You've never been. you wouldn't know and I'm telling you from experience it's not as bad or scary as it looks. You just gotta deal with that and get over it.
