Chicago Public League to bar visiting fans

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Faced with a recent rash of shootings and fistfights spurred by high school basketball games that left six students shot and others injured, Chicago Public Schools officials Friday cracked down on unruly crowds by restricting who can attend games.

Fans won't be allowed to attend away games, parents will have to get permission to watch their teens play at other schools, and it's possible no one will get to see a few particularly heated rivalries. Starting times for varsity games also will be moved up to 4 p.m. The changes, which take effect Monday, apply to boys and girls games.

Great moments in America's premier gun control city! No word yet from Barack Obama or Arne Duncan on this one.Also,no word yet from the urban lovers who claim Chicago is "coming back".
