Outrage and surprise don't need to be married really. Outrage is fine, but people shouldn't be surprised. This is standard new arena/stadium playbook and it happens in every city.

I think some people figured that our team was above these type of tactics. Personally I lost that feeling long ago, but I once hoped they were too.
