No. Fans are fans--short of physically interfering, there is nothing illegal about their actions. If fans are getting out of hand verbally to the point of interfering with game play, then the proper way to deal with it is to suspend play and have game management remove the offenders or take whatever action they feel appropriate to stop the activity.
