Count me in the majority on this issue.

Permitting boorish behavior- especially behavior that is contrary to the rules that apply to all- to go unchallenged is wrong! All that does is to encourage continued or additional wrong behavior and to empower wrong doers.

Why should someone who is using the area/ a facility/ whatever have to leave to avoid wrong doers? Seemingly, right usually subjugated itself to wrong.

Why should those who do right have to self-inconvenience when faced with wrong? Shouldn't it be the other way around? But it will never be the other way around as long as right stays quiet.

The key is how to challenge the inappropropriate behavior. And by "challenge" I do not mean "confront".

In this instance, I would assess whether it would be better to address the person(s) directly or to go report the matter to onsite staff. Then go do it.

If my action didn't result in change, then I have to decide whether to stay and tolerate the rudeness, or to leave.

Very well said!
