2. Arena Contractor Scope: Local venue security may only intervene when criteria for obscenity, safety obstruction, commercial ambush, or targeted harassment are violated.
3. Precedent Overrule: Central WNBA directives supersede arena contractor over-enforcement, mandating that security cannot suppress civil viewpoints.
