I don't expect teams to report it. That's the media's job. So if there are other stadiums w/similar kill rates, then that is the press' fault for not reporting it. But it is still the franchises' fault for not doing something about it. It still is no excuse.
The business should hold responsibility for keeping their patrons reasonably safe. All the spectator events being held in this country in front of crowds of 40000+ & Dodger stadium is the only major one I hear repeated incidents of someone ending up brain dead in the parking lot. So until someone brings me proof it is happening multiple times in multiple USA venues I maintain my position. Chavez Ravine is dangerous and it is long past time for MLB to fulfill their obligation to do something about it.
