Security cutbacks, scanty lighting and a hands-off approach to rowdiness at Dodger Stadium provided a “perfect opportunity” for two men to attack Giants fan Bryan Stow outside the ballpark, Stow’s family said in a lawsuit filed against the Dodgers today.

The negligence suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the team and more than a dozen related entities, seeks unspecified damages for Stow – who remains unconscious at San Francisco General Hospital with a traumatic brain injury – as well as his son and daughter.

Stow and five friends wearing Giants apparel were harassed during a game between the two rival teams March 31, with Dodgers fans tossing peanuts and hot dogs at them, but security guards did nothing, the lawsuit says.
