It's not dumb and here's the answer for the lower level people who go under the lower level for halftime or even before the game. If you stay in the lower level establishment too long, you stay there until the 16 minute timeout. Put someone at the tunnel to monitor this and put out an email to the season ticker holders. This is what they use to do at high school games years ago so the players and other fans weren't disrupted. Too tough to monitor the people who use the upper concourses, but you can monitor the lowest level.
