I, for one, would like to see a more proactive approach by the ushers by outfitting them with wireless communication to notify security when they see actions that might get out of control. Instead of simply heading to the top of the stairs and talk with other ushers, have them do their job which is making sure everyone is having as good a time as they can. Interact with the fans, let them know your watching.
I don't want to see ushers getting into confrontations with fans - let security do that - having one low level security person for every couple of sections might provide enough coverage for keeping things in check before they get out of control. For ejections, they should have an ejection squad ready on call at each level.
