Leave you SEAT CUSHIONS in the car....

Really. You now can not bring in a seat cushion.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, luggage of any kind, seat cushions, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.

Re: Leave you SEAT CUSHIONS in the car....
I heard an interview with NFL VP of security this morning and they're rolling this out to all clubs. If you have a special need there will be on gate to deal with it. If you need a cushion for a back problem for example, they'll work with you. Otherwise they're going to restrict what can be brought into the stadium.
He referenced colleges like Ohio St, Michigan who allow you to bring basically nothing, and they've made it work. With the backpack bombings, you can't really blame them for taking proactive action.

Special needs, eh? Which gate is the hip flask gate? Seriously, they can't NOT do stuff like this after the Boston Bombing. I don't smoke [tobacco], but making smokers leave the 500s and go to some Marlboro Corral at Field Level is gonna freak more people out than a seat cushion ordinance/checkpoint.

It is security theater.
One well-placed bomb by the Unitas statue 20 minutes before kick-off would do as much or more damage than anything inside the stadium.
What the hell is a "clutch bag" anyway?

Re: Leave you SEAT CUSHIONS in the car....
Very true, seems to do more actually to stop people from bringing food/drinks in then anything else.
A clutch si a womens "handbag" generally used for nightclub type situations when dressed up. IT is very small with no over the shoulder strap. About the size of the palm of your hand, just large enough for id, money, credit cards and perhaps cigarettes.

Damn... gots to get those Roidz removed now or I won't be able to shi.... I mean sit down. Or I'll get "Roid Rage"!
BTW, just 800 yards away, you can enetr a different stadium 80 nights out of the year with virtually anything you want. They don't have an security looking at shit. Just some old lady who peeks in what ever you giver and smiles and says "Thanks Hon"... lol. It's actually kind of scary. While some of this stuff is a farce, I don't mind rules, limitations, and a general pat down on everyone on the way in to the stadium.

Re: Leave you SEAT CUSHIONS in the car....
Maybe it's just our Gate, but we haven't been able to take in most of these items for several years. Hope it clears up some of the challenges related to what size bag/purse is oversized (now seems to be decided on the spot), but guess we'll see.

Re: Leave you SEAT CUSHIONS in the car....
i got turned away from M&T 2 years ago for having a small camera bag with a camera inside of it taking up all of the space. i rolled my eyes at the guy and then walked 20 feet down to the next security line and got right in. hopefully, at least this puts them all on the same page.
