Will this apply to Autzen Stadium and Matthew Knight Arena? If it doesn't cover games and concert goers, where is the justice in that?

When did a party of 5 become a LARGE party? I think that number is just absurd. If they really want to target the "large unruly parties" this is ridiculous. I can have that number with just a few close friends. I don't think this will resolve the issue of the "large riots." We have laws that cover underage drinking, drunk and disorderly in public, vandalism, noise complaints, and other public nuisance laws. I agree with some of the other posters here (minus the name calling). Let's enforce the laws we have and bust the real trouble makers (who could be party crashers) rather then penalize those not involved in the crimes.

How about a simple ordinance backed up by the U Of O. If you attend a drunk fest (party) get wasted and commit a crime, you are gone, expelled, go home. Instead, well we'll just hope you won't do it again, your on probation for the umpteenth time. They want you to snitch on your buddy, so they can collect revenue, it is as simple as that.

..."The ordinance would let police cite people at the home who are responsible for the party for several hundred dollars in fines. The fines would tally up over the course of a 12 month span. If a person racks up more than one consecutive citation in that time period, the level of fine could go up under the ordinance.....” Here is another example if not being held accountable for YOUR actions, but rather the actions of others. This is becoming more of a police state every minute, and it really scares me. People need to be held accountable for THEIR OWN ACTIONS, NOT THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS!!! Arrest those offending, arrest those actually DOING the vandalism and/or the violence and loud noises, not those who are having a party. You can’t be responsible for everything someone else does who comes to your home, or, I guess we are supposed to be police in our own homes now? I agree with seahawk: this is getting to the point that we are in severe and imminent danger of becoming a total police state. Wake up before it IS too late.
