Umbrella zone

These are fully approved and highly recommended.

I don't get the confusion. Unbrellas are always a no no for sporting events. Come prepared with a poncho or other rain gear. Have a change of clothes ready in the car after the game with some towels.

Once again, the confusion is SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT of the rules.

Best way to handle it is the way most every sporting event is managed- just do not allow anyone with an umbrella to enter the stadium.

Yeah, that goes back to the "selective enforcement" rule by our bozo game day staff. A staff, who apparently reads THE BBB, and feels the need to remind the few fans who plan on attending not to bring in umbrellas are large tote bags that could have adult beverages inside.

Maybe you should meet with the athletic director and have the rules re-written so that security cannot make anyone put their umbrella away if people are not being bothered by it.

Somebody needs to meet with the AD and give him a good dose of common sense. If this guy keeps his job for two more years, at least half of the most loyal fans will be run off. I hope some other school thinks he's doing a great job at Tech and hires him. Everything he touches he screws up. This is not Nazi Germany in 1940, it's an empty football stadium where a few fans show up in a rainstorm. If there's no one sitting behind you, does your umbrella interfere with no one?

Don't block anyone's view with your umbrella

I get the umbrella deal, don't like them at sporting events regardless of situation but you can't be selective

. Great post. 7 yr old kids in stand catching pneumonia because umbrellas are not allowed in empty stadium. I was literally one of 5 in middle student section and 2 grandsons not allowed to stay dry--- leaving couple of them home this week.

. I am big believer in common sense. Rather have 50-60 folks stay home because of rain doesn't really matter either way -- just some situations deserve flexibility and common sense. I have grandson coming today and what planet won't allow him under umbrella As Long as it does not interfere with others-- I've pretty well been selective about things my whole life-- we live in a world creating more and more "rules" for everything ... Kids can not say prayers before school begins in many places.. Ok, that's the extreme but ... Even for me that's a stupid example, comparing umbrellas to anto

Folks with 'brellas, who will remove themselves to the remote sections of the stadium, which such empty space should be easy to find on a day like this, is not a problem. Around me, I don't want my vision of the game blocked. That's it.

[Woof!]

The discussion with you was never about anything other than your lack of reason.

My original point was that our security peeps selectively enforce the rules.

I don't think you understand. My reason, or lack thereof, doesn't have anything to do with the umbrella policy or how it is enforced. Why don't you email or meet with the athletic department if you feel so so strongly about this issue?

[HogDawg]

Security should only enforce that rule if the umbrellas are bothering somebody. Only an idiot would enforce that rule otherwise.

Exactly. People should get the name of these zero's that enforce these silly rules and post 'em. Then we can talk all week about how stupid the "enforcers" are. I like it. Names please!
