Don’t forget your papers.
NFL already has attendance problems....this will make it worse. Esp in Jacksonville
“The restrictions are designed to enhance security while speeding up entry into stadiums. “
No mention of enhancing vending revenues?
I guess this means I cant take Hillary to a game.
Not only do they overprice their tickets, overpay their players, overprice their lousy food, they also give you the pleasure of sitting in the rain, cold and snow while they sit in their warm, dry, heated overpriced stadium boxes.
I suppose that is not enough for the greedy owners.
The next step will be to charge a $100.00 parking fee as greed has no bounds
My wife told me I couldn’t take my “lava buns” anymore. That would suck. Cleveland Browns Stadium can be an awful cold place if you don’t have your lava buns.
I think this is a good example of how the federal government oversteps.
Each of these stadiums are perfectly capable of determining the best level of security on a local level. What might be a risk in New York may not be a problem in Cleveland.
However, we get the over-reaching nanny organization determining what is right for all. Spreading the inconvenience out evenly over everybody in every city.
Kill the NFL and save all those tax dollars.
They put this policy in effect for the spring game and the women were not happy. Tough enough filling a 110K seat stadium without overreaching policies like this.
It will definitely speed up getting into the stadium which is a big plus...I have sat outside Lambeau in huge lines the last couple of years due to slow security measures.
The NFL has a bigger problem which is the fan experience has become IMO pretty miserable and yes even at Lambeau. Expensive as hell to eat/drink within the confines, constant TV time outs make sitting in the stands exceptionally boring, and at least at Lambeau an aging season ticket base who feels that standing and cheering on your team is an infringement on their game day experience. I see more fights in the stands between fans who want to stand and cheer the Pack on vs fans that feel their view is blocked than I see between drunks these days.
Still the best venue in the world to see a football game but the NFL is doing its best to destroy it.
It will be much more difficult for Eagles’ fans to bring in their whiskey bottles to throw at the refs.
More window dressing security measures, just like the ones at the airport that won’t stop the terrorist tactics we already know about, much less whatever they have in the conceptual stages.
When these fail, and the Superbowl gets hit, then can we talk about deporting Muslims?
Sales of overpriced hots and beers must be on the decline...
I think within 4-5 years, we’ll see pretty tight restrictions on tailgating (limited hours and a total ban on alcoholic beverages in the parking lot) and severe limits on alcoholic beverage sales in the stands at professional sporting events. Watch the stands become a lot more civilized because of far more sober fans there.
