He will not be in the arena.  He will be allowed to take pictures with the team after the game.  AAA flexed a lot of muscle on this one.

That is gonna make Ashdown play really hard. They are coached well enough that it is gonna work out for them.

What happened to him did he get thrown out of the last game that would be only reason for the AAA to get involved

Got a double technical.  I was not there so I can't say for certain but everyone I have heard from says he did nothing to deserve it.  Was actually talking to his bench when he got the second one.
