NFL Announces New Bag Policy to Improve Public Safety at Games

To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the New Orleans Saints announced today an NFL policy that limits the size and type of bags that may be brought into the stadium.

The NFL Committee on Stadium Security in May unanimously recommended the implementation of this measure that will enhance public safety and make it easier for fans to gain access in all stadiums. It was discussed with all clubs at the May league meeting and will be implemented at all NFL stadiums beginning with preseason games.

(Basically the NFL doesn't want any of you Irish Channel nor Metry Terrorists smuggling in your own water and liquor when they can charge you DisneyWorld Prices for Same)

Probably more about what you said than safety.

Safety #1

Another victory for the terrorists.

They will have to carry their airplane bottles somewhere else.
Safety issue? No. Revenue issue. Yes.

Just allow me to bring a bag large enough to throw up into in case I see Goodell in the stadium.

Yep, and who can blame them.

I read somewhere the Theatres get zero from ticket sales. All of their revenue comes from concessions. Not sure if true tho.

It'll force more and more people to watch movies at home.

Just as these types of policies will make gameday much more enjoyable viewing on the my screen, cooking out, no waiting for the restroom, affordable munchies and ice cold beverages of choice, no traffic, no long lines, no beer cut-off in the 4th quarter, no designated drivers, no drunk annoying jerks making asses of themselves and starting fights.

Gimme one live game per year and I'm fine with watching the rest at home.

Late to the party NFL. New Orleans had a bag policy decades ago.

Strangely enough, I thought this was what the thread was about before I read the article.
