In every fan base there are always some people that are going to do things that go against sportsmanship. I have no clue if it happened or not, I'd lean toward yes, but saying yes means that only 1 snowball had to be thrown. The only thing I'd add is, that that particular snowfall wasn't snowball worthy. When it's below freezing (it was 29F and windy) and it's powdery, which it seems to me it was, it wont form a ball unless you warm it up a little, like adding water or taking your gloves off forming it with your body heat. I think that alone would deter most people. But like I said, every fan base has some hooligans.
So, here is how they do it in Europe when it snows.
A group of Scottish supporters helped remove snow from the pitch where their national team is due to play a 2014 FIFA World Cup™ qualifier with Serbia later this evening.
Dressed in traditional kilts and jerseys of their national team, the Scots took shovels and removed snow from a part of the field, helping local clearing services.
Snow that was falling in Serbia since the early hours covered the field where the match was to take place at 20.30 CET. Both Serbia and Scotland's chances of making it to the finals in Brazil next year look slim.
The Scots are bottom of Group A and trail joint leaders Belgium and Croatia by 11 points, while Serbia are fourth nine points adrift with five matches remaining.

Wishful thinking that Mexico won't advance. I also don't think it would be a good thing for the region. Mexico started bad the last Hex as well. I think they recover and win the group. US should be second (thats counting a loss in San Jose/Tibas), with Costa Rica and Honduras fighting out for 4th. For now, I think CR has the edge based upon defending the home field. Honduras tied at home. June 7th is round 1 here in CR. That is going to be a huge game. Costa Rica, to get 3rd, has to beat Honduras here.
When hasn't the rug in Tibas not been beat up? Mexico complained about it 4 years ago. I heard it was as much the lack of drainage and lighting as much as the pitch. $700k worth of repairs, with little time and little available work force due to the World Cup preparations here.
I'm enjoying the rag paper Al Dia. Total lack of objectivity over the last few month, but I get it. They cater to the fanbase. The "sorry, no snow" headline gave me a chuckle.
What's your liver tell you about the outcome?
And then what does your head say?
