Come to think of it, there aren't many teams in the world where a fan would be allowed within 500 feet of a chainsaw inside the stadium. Some players or other fans would definitely lose limbs.

The all time best was when Alan Gordon was playing for the Timbers. The team was down 2-0 in the 80th minute and Gordon proceeded to score a hattrick. After the last goal the whistle blew, Gordon ran over to the chainsaw and sliced off a log for himself. It was epic. Thank God he didn't amputate his foot in the process.
