At check-in, they told us we'd have to discard our bags because only see through type bags were allowed as a security measure. It was all over the news, they told us, didn't we see the news?
Mine was about a $2 canvas job and I was willing to discard it as instructed but, thankfully, my wife was not. Hers was a little more expensive and neither of us relished the joys of stuffing the contents into our pockets or trying to juggle them with two hands.
"Why can't you just take a quick look in the bags like they do at PNC Park?" I asked.
"We have our rules," said the hired Barney Fife, "you need to lose the bags to get in."
"Go do something to yourself which is anatomically impossible!", said I, "We're not going to attend another event at Heinz Field so long as such an asinine rule is in place."
We walked out and promptly sold the tickets to the nearest scalper. We got enough to pay for our parking, the trip into Pittsburgh and a nice dinner for two.
The answer to that is the NFL is now in the business of selling see-thru bags with the team logos at all of their Fan Gear stores.
I give baseball 2 yrs. tops before they catch on and do likewise.
I’d rather have a nice dinner than sit through a sporting event anyway. Plus you saved money not buying $15 beers and $10 hot dogs.
