Antonovich: No Half-Price Alcohol for Dodgers' Throwback Days

The supervisor called for "tighter controls" at a press conference this week, according to a release from his office, citing the aftermath of a fan's brutal beating.

Six dates out of the Dodgers baseball schedule are for fans to see teams don uniforms that call up images and memories of a bygone era.

But on Monday, Supervisor Michael Antonovich said he would like something else to be gone on those dates -- alcohol being sold at half-price.

A release from Antonovich's office Monday said the supervisor called for the Dodgers to scrap plans to sell alcohol at half-price during the season's six "throwback" days: April 21, May 4, June 15, June 22, Aug. 10 and Aug. 31.

The request was one of several from Antonovich who called for "tighter controls" to "restore the public trust" following the savage beating of Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was attacked by two men outside of the stadium following the team's opening day game on Thursday, March 31.

Stow is still in a medically induced coma.

According to the release, Antonovich also called for employing additional security personnel, enhanced parking lot lighting in the parking lot, smaller alcohol containers, kicking out intoxicated, bullying fans and providing hand stamps for those who have already bought alcohol.
