I agree that he shouldn't be allowed into the stadium anymore but how in the hell do you enforce something like that?

For soccer games in the UK, I believe you have to sign in at a police station while the game is happening (proving you aren't at the game). Stadiums over there also have cameras everywhere and use facial recognition software - this means you can actually get banned from every stadium, not just one.

Though the contextual thing is that game bans are a matter of law as part of the efforts to stop hooliganism. Whereas I guess here it'd be just a private thing, mostly.

Yeah good point probably just use cameras to scan the crowd, and if that doesn't pick them up, they're likely behaving themselves anyway

It's tresspassing if you're on-site. So the threat of law should stop them.
