Gutted that it won't be present on air during the game, hopefully there can be some kind of coverage - or at least photographs. Good effort, Phinney.

You are not allowed to carry a banner in a football stadium?!? Lol here in europe they throw bombs at eachother at stadiums, what a difference.

Prohibited Items
Banner (any object that obstructs the view of another)
Just wanted to quote the same post like TheButterZone.

Address both at the same time.
I most definitely didn't ignore it, but I do see where I made my mistake.

What items are prohibited from the stadium?
Prohibited bags include, but are not limited to: purses larger than 4.5” x 6.5”, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags/draw string bags that are not clear or exceed 12” x 6” x 12”, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags, and large traditional seat cushions that have pockets, zippers, compartments or covers.

It is now clear to me that reading is not my mother language:
pro·hib·it·ed
prəˈhibitid,prō-/
adjective
1.
that has been forbidden; banned.
per·mit·ted
verb
past tense: permitted; past participle: permitted
pərˈmit/
1.
give authorization or consent to (someone) to do something.
I swear that when I first read prohibited, it was permitted, thus each subsequent time I came across the word, my mind continue to read it as permitted.
Thank goodness that this is the ONLY mistake I've made in the past year.
BTW, don't mention this post over on the Black Arrow thread, otherwise...
See how easy it is to claim responsibility? I'm the one that fucked up here and have nobody to blame but myself. I even went the extra mile and shown how I fucked up, thus allowing us to move on.
And move on we shall, unless there's a sign atop Mount Everest permitting the planting of Bitcoin-themed flags, I think I'm good to go in that endeavor.
Still,

Needless to say, the secret weapon I spoke about above wouldn't have worked in this case.

And that, my friends, is how one blows $500+ USD and tens of hours on a project that shouldn't have been taken on in the first place. With all the eyeballs, including mine, perusing their site, this is the first time I've seen the above.
Madness! Utter madness!

Looks like vehicles were subject to search too, so he needed to have sewn the grommets into his jacket liner even before he got there... http://www.metlifestadium.com/guest-services/guest-policies
Since it was likely confiscated, he needs to get it from security immediately after the game, and run to where the cameras are to get in the background of the live shots.

I wasn't able to get the banner past security but did get a pic of it outside the enterance.
I guess I can go to bed then
. Do they not let any signs in? February 02, 2014, 05:13:57 PM
Hope that the banner is out of fabric, so the banner-guy can stuff it under his clothes. Otherwise security might take it away. Which would suck hard.

Epic Banner Waver Guy's credibility is proven. A real bitcoiner. All good!

I only read less than six posts my him and was convinced, not wasting my time to Google-fu.
Due to time, the banner had to made using vinyl. I'm sure two layers, grommeted together, measuring 3' X 4' each, can easily be folded and hidden under several layers of clothing donned by one of our guy's confederates. If not, anybody here have a backup plan?

Don't they do full body checks at the entry ways, nowadays?
February 02, 2014, 05:13:22 PM
Tell him to check with other people coming in for seat position and if they're Seahawks fans, so they can try to get it in.
Too late, for he's already inside, probably unable to exit out, then back in again. Status of banner is unknown.
If only I were able to speak with the security guard, there may have been a chance that he would have let them pass with banner in hand, for I've used this secret weapon twice already: Once with Kinkos, after being told that it'll be impossible to produce and deliver the banner, for they were extremely busy, then again at the front desk of the Waldorf when told that they had a policy that no packages are accepted for guests not listed as registered at their hotel. On both occasions, they changed their tune, bending over backwards to accommodate me after I unleashed this secret weapon on them.
SO SAD!

Sad story. Guess they confiscated it, so it's a dead end. Nobody else can pick it up.
We want to see the picture! So we know what we are missing out on!

Possibly, but it could also be code for, it has the flu.
I could tell you the truth but then I'd have to kill you and you're too "sick" of a guy to kill.
