Anyone have any run ins with this guy?

He walks a round hand on gun, pouty lip, big cigar and is just the worst excuse for a human being I have seen.

He's ignorant, he's rude, he's completely unprofessional. He threatens people pushes around their property, just a complete waste of space. Talk abouyt a guy who takes his $8/hour job way to serious.

Totally ruining the tailgate experience.

Anyone know who I'm talking about?

he's not a chicago police officer is he?    i usually am in the east museum lot - there is a CPD guy who is mean as well...he told some tailgaters to put away the bag-o games - "they are not allowed at tailgates"

and we shouldn't be surprised as to why Chicago did not make Forbes recent list of "Top NFL cities to tailgate in".        even buffalo (home of the lowly bills) apparently has a nicer tailgating set up.

yes, eventually i predict the end of the tailgate experience as we know it - we will be forced to go to the "Ultimate tailgate" - sorry won't spend a dime on bad boring food - will pre-tailgate at home!

Not sure if he is a Police officer. He wears a red security shirt just like all the other lot attendants. But he is the only one with a gun.

From what I heard talking with other tailgaters he is only in the 31 st. lot. But he also kicked another groups bag boards because they were too far into the aisle, which was full so no cars could get through to park anyway.

my hunch is that he is an off duty cop then....i find it really hypocritical that the NFL store/bears store/dicks sporting good stores, etc...   sell all this great tailgating merchandise (which i have to believe the NFL takes a cut of of some of the sales revenue) but then the city, etc. are allowed to treat tailgaters like dirt.......some of the red shirt guys believe that they have just a bit too much power.

maybe if they would allocate enough parking space, there would be room for tailgaters, bag games and cars to still go through.....

wonder who i could email the msnbc story to as an fyi......when places like miami and buffalo have better tailgating facilities then Chicago, we have an issue.

Well at the end of the day it's all about the mighy dollar. in the case of the lot at 31st. I can see wanting to maximize the profits because their were people taking up 3 or 4 spots and only paying for one.

That being said, there are much better ways to handle it than they are. I would gladly pay for two spots for the extra room. But either way the gustapo they put out there now is just unbearable, unprofessional morons with a leader that may be an off duty cop but on sunday he is really just a parking attendant abusing his so called position of power. Just a real D - bag.

Slats - i think you hit the nail right on the head.....no need to be rude and unprofessional....you are just parking cars (which i think we can all do very well without additional direction from red-shirted security people.)        i read part of their website - they provide "world class premium guest services"..    not sure where.

keep your chin up - we tailgaters are a resiliant bunch!

Oh my chin is up my Brother....they can have my spatula and cold beer when they pry it from my cold dead hands!!!!! HAHAHAHA

I had my first run-in with him for Detroit.  I'm sure it won't be the last.

We were there at 6:30 a.m., which was record time for us, and I think he was just beginning his shift.

There were already a lot of vehicles along the tree line, but still plenty of open spots, so we tried pulling into one.  Nuh-uh, no way... he was going to park us the way HE wanted to.  I considered offering him a bribe, but the increase to $25 was already pinching me too much.

Guess I'm gonna have to try and get down there at 5 a.m.

Hopefully that jag will lighten up, but I'm not holding my breath.

We were actually along the tree line and saw that happen a few times....Wouldn't let a car occupy and empty spot...Does this sound familiar to you tailg8ter????............


ALL THE WAY DOWN.......ALL THE WAY DOWN........

yep, exactly.  I don't get what he bug is up his ***.

Hoe did you get a tree line spot?

Maybe I've got to slip him an extra 20...the Chicago way!

My question is can yo not report him to someone that runs the personel for security and parking?  IF enough people complain maybe they will do something.  Just giving you something to think about.

so you no thinky? then ya trip and fall over your slinky all the way down the stairs and break your pinky, wake up in da morning with your breath nice and stinky, get arrested and thrown in the clinky?

Oh yes - did we have run ins with him this weekend for the Cardinal game. This guy is a P-R-I-C-K! Same fat, rude, cigar puffing loser that takes the little bit of power they give him and acts like he's the toughest guy around to try to put some meaning into his pathetic little life. We normally park up by the sidewalk along 31st - so after pulling in we went straight there. Now mind you there were already people parked there and tailgating - some other jerk yells at us to "go around - go around". Talking to some of the other nicer attendants in the red jackets they said that some one is probably 'getting greased' and these guys have been really difficult to deal with. I understand that yes they get more money - but at the expense of the fans enjoyment - there are better ways to handle this. In the end we did get along the tree line and ended up liking the spot and would like to get there again actually. EVERYONE around us was arguing - or had argued with him. He made the guy next to us move his van FOUR times since it wasn't just so. There were three cars that parked across from us and as soon as he left the bee -lined for another spot - he finally got his tubby butt down there - don't know if they got kicked out or not - but maybe if more people do this he'll get into a shape that isn't round. This guy is gonna get it one day from some unruly fans I have a feeling from what I was overhearing on my travels around the lot. There is a lot more I can say - but would like to keep it clean for the boards. GO BEARS! and Chicago - let's start being nice to the fans!

wow....apparently bears fans who have to put up with what is left of the pathetic terrible season also can't even be treated with a bit of respect.....you know if you took away the "security folks directing traffic", i am sure that we all are quite capable of parking in a parking lot....would hate to see these guys trying to direct mall traffic at Christmas.

up on the north side by the field museum, we had the out of control chicago cop literally pick up bag games, chairs, or anything that was remotely over the designated space - he literally starting shoving stuff back right at the fans and people and screaming that we "were over the line".     well, if you actually gave us a bit more space, we might have some place to stand.      That was the other really odd thing - he literally told some of the fans that parts of the parking lot and surrounding tree area were "off limits" - don't walk there, don't stand there, etc......and really rude to boot....
