I think there's probably parts of S.America you wouldn't want to sit in another part of the stadium but they would still have mixed zones i'm sure. I think it's also one of the reasons that the Ultras thing has never taken off here. I wonder whether it would actually be a better atmosphere if you just had parts of the stadium that were mixed for people who just want to watch the game and anyone can really go. Then really strict areas where its 'ultras' only who are there to make as much noise as possible. I don't know if its a good or bad thing myself, sometimes feels a bit manufactured when European clubs come over and do it at our place.Went to a Hamburg v Werder Bremen game, which I was told would be a feisty affair, due to historical hatred over trading via their respective ports. Lots of groups having both sets of fans together.
The police operation outside the ground had water tanks and armed Coppers, but inside the stadium everything was fine...
