Kurt Loesch and the rest of the officiating crew were walking off the field after a Friday night football game, a hotly contested conference rivalry. A voice from the stands rang out, “I hope you get home safe tonight!” Loesch couldn’t tell if it was just a joke or an actual threat but said it — and similar encounters — are becoming more common. This fall, Loesch will mark 26 years as a Kansas State High School Activities Association official. He officiates multiple sports and said fan interaction has gotten worse in recent years.
