Attendance Drops At Dodger Stadium; Reward Offered After Giants Fan Beating

(CNS) Posted Sunday April 3, 2011 – 9:50am
Debate about the safety of fans at Dodger Stadium continued this weekend, as a county supervisor said he wants better security at the ballpark, and the team owner said proper security was in place when two fans beat a San Francisco-area fan nearly to death.

The victim's paramedic partner has set up a bank account to help pay medical expenses for the critically-injured Santa Cruz resident, and to help take care of his wife and two small children.

No new medical news was available today about Bryan Stow, 41, who was hospitalized in medically induced coma. Doctors on Friday removed part of his skull to relieve pressure from swelling of the brain and were considering removing one of his frontal lobes, his family said.

Official attendance at Saturday afternoon's game at Dodger Stadium was just 40,809 and the Los Angeles Times reported that the stadium appeared half empty, even as the team's owner assured fans that security was appropriate.

The official attendance was the lowest weekend figure for a Dodgers-Giants game in
eight years.

"Any human being doing physical harm to another human being, just words can't describe how awful that is," said owner Frank McCourt at a Dodgers charity event Saturday. "That said, it happens. It's one of those awful things and I'm not making any excuses whatsoever ...

"But I'm quite confident that all of our measures were in place, and it's just one of those things that you could have 2,000 policemen there and it's just not going to change that random act of violence," the Dodgers owner said. "It's a sad, sad thing."

Police said Stow, who was wearing Giants attire, was minding his own business and not picking any fights when he was attacked in parking lot 3 after Thursday night's game.

Stow was knocked to the pavement and kicked repeatedly.

Though several people were involved in the attack, police are looking for two central suspects -- both Hispanic men in Dodgers-branded clothing, 18-25 years old, with thin mustaches.

One had numerous tattoos on his neck, and the other had a goatee.

They fled in a light-colored four-door car driven by a woman with a young boy inside.

The victim works as a paramedic in the Santa Clara area, and his medic partner, Rebecca Mackowiak, told the Santa Cruz Sentinel that Stow would not have picked a fight.

"He is really a friendly guy and easygoing," she told the newspaper.

"There's not one person in this world who knows him who would think he's a fighter."

Mackowiak has set up a bank account to rasie fund for Stow's medical care, and for his family, at a Bay Area credit union.

Donations can be sent through via a PayPal account to the email address [email protected], or to account No. 118881 at CommonWealth Central Credit Union in San Jose, she said.

Police asked anyone with more information about the suspects to call the Northeast Station at (213) 485-2563.

At the Dodgers' 2009 home opener, also against the Giants, a 30-year-old man was stabbed in a parking lot outside Dodger Stadium about 90 minutes after the game ended.

But Arthur Anthony Alvarez argued self-defense and was found not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.
