HOUSE Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I talk from experience, I lost a lot of tread on these shoes. During cold weather games some people are oblivious to the restrictions. When it is this cold outside season ticket holders will give away tickets and some poor uninformed fan will park in a satellite parking area, walk a half mile just to be told by Security "Oh Sir, You can't bring that drone in the stadium" so now starts the trek back to the car (another half mile in zero weather,another half mile back). Now they are ready to re-enter the Stadium, "Oh Sir,You can't bring those fireworks inside the stadium" another half mile walk back to the car, another half mile back to the stadium . Its cold, YOU COULD DIE OUT THERE... Security will not hold any restricted items for you... So.....Be a good sport and leave your rod at home....

I think you may get away with it if the battery is not in the clothing when you enter the stadium and you can explain it away as something else (e.g. a phone battery), I was thinking maybe the reason clothing is specifically banned is because it's hard to confirm with the metal detectors what is inside a coat, etc...

T master Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 No Drones allowed - DUH although you know there are those num nuts that would bring one because the only reason they make rules like this is because some one has tried it at some time before the rule was implemented . But that won't stop the drunken jack ass out in the parking lot or at on elf the houses that surround the stadium in OP from flying one over the top of the stadium wall if they do i hope they would nail them with a huge fine and take the drone .

It's likely not the Bills who make the rules, but the insurance provider. They really don't want the headline of "Bills fan sets self on fire with defective electric hand warmer, induces panic, kills 14". Just bring disposable hand warmers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 What kind of a lunatic would try to bring a drone in? Operating it would result in a huge fine, as it is illegal to operate one over people who are not involved in its operation. Regarding aircraft, a blanket temporary flight restriction prohibits flight over any facility with a capacity of over 30,000 people within 3 miles or 3000 feet. That applies to all NFL games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Only a fool would carry a drone and fireworks into the stadium, I usually fly the drone carrying the fireworks in while distracting security at the gate with my shirt that says **** the Bills.

The fact that you can bring in a cell phone (same type of battery) but not warming clothing, especially for this game, is ridiculous and borderline negligent. I'm guessing that the issue is the wiring and the power supply. To you it's ridiculous and borderline negligent, but to a security guard tasked with making sure IEDs don't get inside the stadium, he doesn't have time to trace the wiring and ensure that it's just for warmth, and not connected to plastic explosive - and if he makes a mistake HE'S negligent. It's easier to just say "no battery powered clothing", and easier if fans respect the restriction and don't decide they need not respect regulations that they find stupid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be good with the battery powered socks..........they will run the metal wand over your shoes/boots and assume it's the grommets on the shoes/boots tripping the alarm. @Captain Caveman I'd suggest loosening your boots and sliding them in there.

There's been a few incidents involving players getting with a battery when walking off the field, Cleveland was one of them. There's no rule against rocks (and depending on the rock it's not getting flagged in the metal detector.) I've hear people speculate that it's due to the fire risk of batteries, but again I've been able to bring in battery power packs / handwarmers, so not sure if that's it (or if it was just missed.) I was wondering if it's just due too the difficulty of getting clothing with batteries sewn into it through metal detectors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
