I never finished this post before and it has been a while so I figured it would be kind of fun for week 1, to finish this off and repost the whole thing in one long blog. Enjoy!!!

Recently the Kansas City Chiefs, and their stadium policy recieved alot of national attention after they banned standing up, by fans, as it may impede the view of fans behind you. They have since re-worded that policy slightly but it lead me to start digging through other teams stadium policies to see what hidden gems there where; here is what I found, listed by team:

Buffalo Bills

Size matters as no cameras with lenses over 6″are permitted? maybe as to not indimidate their players. No headwear, that impedes the view of fans? keeps the Comboys fans out, they are America’s team! Also notworthy at Rogers Centre, all guests must wear shirts so I guess Canadian Bills fans planning to rock the body paint have to hold off? somehow B-I-L-L-S doesn’t look the same written across 5 T-shirts.

Miami Dolphins

Brooms are prohibited apparently Parcells has a witch superstition, also purses are regulated as to not exceed 14″ x 14″ x 8″, and the Dolphins are less worried than the Bills about lens size and will allow up to 8″. Quick surprise they allow football helmuts to be worn just in case you need to suit up? at QB, anytime during a homegame.

New England Patriots

All video cameras are prohibited. Cameras that have detachable lenses are allowed, however, they may be checked to ensure they are what they appear to be. The ultimate irony apparently the Patriots won’t allow you to tape their offense to review at a later date.

New York Jets

Video Cameras/Recording Devices, professional cameras and tripods, suprised Video personnel didn’t make the list, Umbrella’s did?, No Confetti? who is bringing that to a Jet’s game. Also no Foul language in NY? really, you could be asked to leave or have your season tickets revoked and that won’t bring on more cursing?

Baltimore Ravens

Nothing larger than a freezer-sized zip-lock clear bag is allowed apparently they changed the rule to allow weed in their backfield after Jamal Lewis’s success in Cleveland? Also Horns of any kind are prohibited always awkward when Joe Horn gets the Ravens on the schedule, really can hurt your fantasy team not being in the know.

Cincinnati Bengals

No foul or absusive language or gestures, intoxication or imparement, fighting, taunting or threatening remarks will be tolerated from fans, but it’s all good for players. Also Animals are prohibited except for those with disabilities, but I seem to remember Ocho Cinco trying to get a donkey or something out of the tunnel to join him in the endzone, apparently those mental handicap rumours have some merit.

Cleveland Browns

Excessive standing is prohibited, remember in the Dawg pound one must sit like the Dawgs do, and roll over and take your beer Nice. Also Glitter is prohibited? what? is that a real problem in the pound, fans getting all Glittered up, c’mon.

Pittsburgh Steelers

No Flasks and I know fans got em, it mentions you may be asked to open heavy clothing as its always cold in Steeltown, How would you like that job? playing hide and go-keep, with every blue collar Steelers fan, looking for a Flask you know he has tucked away somewhere within layers of jogging pants, hoodies and fleece.

Houston Texans

Everything is bigger in Texas and camera lenses are no exception they will allow up to 12″, also Laptop computers are banned as technology scares the Texans and they are worried that computer’s may interfere with Matt Schaub hearing the play calls when their coach shouts them into the tin can on the sideline that connects to Schaub’s helmut.

Indianapolis Colts

Running or Jogging in the Rca Dome is strictly prohibited, no wonder the Indy defense got better so quickly it must be a big adjustment for visiting offense’s who now are forced to skip.

Jacksonville Jaguars

FREE BEER, yes really lol if you sign up for their Designated Drivers program you get a voucher for an non-alcoholic O’Douls which is a great way to explain to the police why you smell like beer when you didn’t actually drink any?

Tennessee Titans

Bikes are prohibited at LP field, the Titans got a deal on treadmills on don’t want players requesting excercise bikes. Also throwing or kicking of any object is prohibited a policy Vince Young take’s very seriously.

Denver Broncos

Denver highly recommends clear, plastic grocery bags to facilitate security screening at the gates also they are great for the environment.

Kansas City Chiefs

Of course standing or obstructing the view of other fans is prohibited, those away fans need to see, Terrell Owens and Ocho Cinco’s end zone dances and don’t want the few Chiefs fans clouding their view. Also prohibited is harrasing visiting teams fans as there are way too many of them and the last thing the Chiefs need is the publicity, that some poor dad rocking a Chiefs Montana throwback got pummeled by two Raiders fans in those Moss masks.

Oakland Raiders

Fighting, taunting, or engaging in any action that may harm, endanger, threaten, or bring discomfort to anyone in the stadium is prohibited? including verbal abuse, harassment, profanity, confrontations, intimidation, or threatening behavior. So a stadium full of Mad Max Thunderdome-esque people, with a few Day of the Dead characters mixed-in, uddering death threats in english and spanish to the home team is allowed? Cool… Refusal to remove or turn inside-out clothing deemed offensive or obscene upon request by stadium personnel is also prohibited, this one almost killed me, imaging trying to turn those spiked pads inside out.

San Diego Chargers

Prohibit metal and hard plastic costume accescories with sharp edges or tips, to keep out those pesky Raiders fans. also banned are stun guns? OK and boomerangs? A few years back when Aussie rules punters were all the rage San Diego banned the boomerang cause hey, Nfl teams should hire American. Also musical intruments? apparently in Cali when ever you have that much grass and a few guitars there are bound to be hippies.

Dallas Cowboys

They actually don’t have any unsual stadium policies? I guess when your philosphy is take anyone eg Pacman Jones, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, Terrel Owens, how can you hold your fans to a code of conduct you would never expect your players too follow.

NY Giants

In NY, Foul/abusive language and/or rowdy behavior will not be tolerated and will be cause for ejection and/or arrest, it also may be cause to seperate you from your team while going through the playoffs and the superbowl, though you may be entitlled to spend this time in a luxury box.

Philadelphia Eagles

Philly bans Abusive, foul or disruptive language and obscene gestures and fighting ot taunting. How long has this been in place? Is it new?, This is the same place that booed Santa off the field right? Also footballs are not allowed in the stadium, the equipment manager has to think of new and creative ways to get them in every game. Also food not wrapped in clear plastic is not allowed? so your telling me Donovan and the Eagles can’t have their Qb’s mom bring the soup that eats like a meal for halftime.

Washington Redskins

Prohibit distribution of any literature? as any other literature may expose just how bad their offensive play book really is.

Chicago Bears

Apparently the Bears have the opinion that season ticket holders are responsible not just for their actions but the actions of anyone else who uses those tickets, and can eject the individual or revoke their tickets, somewhat like a contract? you hear that Brian just to come see you I’m subject to honour my agreement to the Bears, also banned are balloons and opposing team fan taunting as there is no bigger burn to away fans, than an angry balloon animal guy shaping an Eagle getting molested by balloon Bear.

Detroit Lions

Ford Field prohibits damaging or destruction to the building or properties as repairing your Ford is getting expensive? also in thier stadium policy they urge “never take matters into your own hands. contact the nearest Ford Field representative” and he or she will help me kick the crap out of the guy that spilled beer on me?

Green Bay Packers

Prohibit any behaviour resulting in a disruption of the game, what about disrupting the whole season? Also of note is that a stadium eatery Brett Favre’s Two Minute Grill is pleased to announce that just in time for week 1 they have added sour grapes to the menu.

Minnesota Vikings

Prohibit Mace? the team doesn’t wany any of it’s players getting maced on their next love boat cruise. Also banned are duffell bags as no Vikings fan wants Adrian Peterson’s agent making it to the game.

Atlanta Falcons

Ban animals at the stadium as they certainly don’t want their players helping answer the age old question of who could win a fight between a monkey and a zebra, by pitting the animals against each other in some form of competition; it’s entertaining but hey that type of fun your going to have to keep within the privacy of your own home.

Carolina Panthers

Prohibit baby seats as a way to keep any players baby mama’s at home, it gets awkward with the wives being there already, Also banned are tape recorders? because wants funnier than posting a youtube clip of just audio?

New Orleans Saints

Apparently at the superdome I assume all risks incident to the game or related events, including the risk of lost, stolen or damaged property or personal injury, yikes scary wording given the events of Hurricane Katrina, I don’t even have jokes just awkwardness.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Secure enough to allow camera lenses of 12″ but disallow Chuckie Dolls I’m not even joking exact wording, what is that movie like ten years old, why disallow Chukie because he looks to much like Chris Simms? you released him already to check this one out for yourself, click here

Arizona Cardinals

Ban impairment due to any type of illegal drug or alcohol as well as displays of affection, no wonder Matt Leinhart is finding fitting in so tough in Zona, I’m mean this is Univeristy of Phoenix stadium right? last time Matt heard the word university he was up for the thighsman for all the points he was putting up off the field, it has to be confusing.

St Louis Rams

Ban peanuts in the shell as it scares the ram? also banned are laser devices, knives, firearms, missiles, mace, pepper gas and any other weapon of mass destruction. What Taliban members are huge Ram fans? Also liked the stadium policy on big bags, which goes beyond disallowing them also offering that if you do not have a car to put the banned bag in you are entitled to place it in a trash receptacle, umm thanks.

San Francisco 49ers

They allow fruit? so long as they are cut into pieces anyone for a slice of Banana… ban gang activity including gang tackling as it’s not nice and hurts. Also banned are weapons of any kind (including silverware) yeah wouldn’t want to see anyone get spooned at the next game.

Seattle Seahawks

Ban shooters and tailgating it’s not funny just sad. Also limit beer sales to one if sold to you at your seat but allow you to purchase two if you get up to get them? as all attempts at excercise should be awarded with more beer.
