NFL bans larger bags at stadiums, but wait....

It also says they banned seat cushions??? Really???


The Steelers tix that go on sale on ticketmaster are all for the 500 section where it is metal benches, not plastic seats...

Those benches get really cold in December and January???

 

i could see where a larger bag would suffer under those conditions.

all i can think of is the movie joe dirt and the dog on the porch.TTF if you please. LOL

 

What says?

"Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither".

Now that's just a saying, don't take it too literally. There needs to be a healthy balance of course, but this is going too far I think. Seat cushions don't exactly pose much of a bomb threat, and they can easily go through metal detectors or be wanded with a handheld metal detector. This also means that very young children won't be able to go to games anymore. Those with young children need to bring a bag with supplies, including diapers. While you could argue an infant doesn't need to be at the game anyway, a lot of people like sharing these experiences with their young kids.

 

Well said.

 

Well, on the bright side, now that the NFL has created a rule that worsens the experience for its fans, ticket prices will be going down.



...Right?

 

True, but a pair of shoes can pose a bomb threat... there has to be some pragmatism here.

I agree about the giveaway cushion part though - it certainly seems a sensible solution. More likely, though, the opposite will happen, and they'll charge exorbitant amounts for renting a one-off cushion.

 

In the name of supporting national security, the NFL is imposing rues that make it harder to sneak beer and booze into the stadium and make you buy $10 beers from them.

This is the reason for this as much as anything

 

How my going to take my smokes in if I cant put them in her purse????

 

Heres my new line of seat cushion pants, I have the exclusive rights. more info to come as that ban expands:lolsign:

 

Casey's looking in good shape this summer, I see.

 

Again just another bone headed move by the league, yea those ticket prices will go down.
Ha.Most of my woman Steeler fans are furious over the new rule. Oh by the way the Rooney's
want tax payers to foot the bill for the addition of 3000 new seats, I guess they are so broke in the NFL
that they can't afford to do this with their own money?LOL

 

Wait, I sat in Section 530 and I sat in a yellow seat....

 

I have been as high up as five rows from the top and sat in the lovely yellow seat so I am thinking no?

 

Every owner has hit up Joe Tax Payer in the last 30 yrs. for replacing stadiums and expansions. Do you think that 70,000 Cheese heads opened their wallets just to take on some added responsibility? Where have you been?

 

The closed end of the stadium up in the 500 level is all-silver metal benches... This is also where most of the tickemaster tickets are located, besides the ticket exchange ones that come from the season ticket holders. I don't think I ever landed an individual yellow plastic seat.

And in December and January those metal seats are FREEZING.....

 

I guess I worded my statement wrong, I know all about tax payer input about stadiums, The Steelers have already tapped the public sector when building Heinz Field, I don't think the good people of Allegheny county should have to ante up anymore money to millionaires/billionaires like the Rooney's and the NFL. This is all I was trying to get across.The Rooney's made the bone headed mistake in the beginning of not making it bigger, even with multi year waiting list for season tickets.

 

i thought that too ward. they could have doubled the stadium and sold it out.

we want more , we want more.
