Going to be doing it this Sunday.  Just curious about the experience/process, etc.

We did this at the Saints game a couple of years ago.  It was the first time for the full field flag.  If it is the full field flag then it is a lot of work or at least that day it was.  We were on our feet from around 10:30AM until well into the 1st quarter.  A lot of walking.  We stood for a long time outside the stadium then after going through security we walked to the practice fields.  The full field flag was spread out.  They divide everyone up around the flag and practice -- then you carry the flag from that point until after the national anthem.  I am glad we got to do it for the first time using the full field flag.  I was in a blue Panther shirt on the 10 yard line.  I found a picture on tweeter and saved it.  I know that the blue dot is me!

I did it for the Bears game last year, great experience but missed the play where Philly Brown took a hit from Teddy Williams then picked up the ball and ran it into the end zone. 

There were some DRUNK people on flag duty with me, seriously wondered if they would make it but they did and we had an awesome time.
