I don't usually make a big deal out of it, standing on some soapbox and preaching. I get their attention, say "Hey, there's kids around. You might want to watch your language." Evertime I've done that, people have been contrite and ceased their use of foul language.
The funny thing is that people can always make their point without having to resort to cursing. From my perspective, using foul language is usually demonstrative of poor language skills and below average creativity.

I think you're in a world of hurt when your kids get to adolescence. Kids are rebellious.
You are talking about silencing an entire student body. That just ain't going to happen. If this was say a restaurant and the group was of 6, you have a much bigger case of "civility" and "etiquette". At a football game, with massive amounts of people (kids mainly), alcohol and the like, you don't have that kind of luxury. Therefore, if you don't like it, don't take your kids there.
It's like you complaining about what's on the television unaware or unwilling to change the channel.
