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 people 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?
I’ll post part two later in the week and link them all together, so you can view all the teams at once…
