Dayum. This might just happen.

It's happening if I have to fly the plane myself

If it looks like you'll come up short, just call the plane people and cut a deal for the shortfall by agreeing to publicize their name with the media. Then, call all the media outlets, do a WWW press release, maybe get Igo in on it if he's game for ad space, and off you go into the wild blue yonder.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Get some decent video and send to the broadcast producer, better yet give them a heads up, and also send it to all of the Monday shows, etc. If you're serious about it, you might gather a bit more steam that way. Stranger things have happened.

Would be nice to do this the Nov. 13 game that will be nationally televised but it's a night game so don't think it'd work.

the banner would fly over the stadium an hour before the game starts. nobody will see it.

No body in the stands maybe but I am sure they’ll get some sort of media attention or comment and prime time media I’d assume has more viewers/exposure.

They aren't going to show it in primetime media.

Tell the plane company to cut you a deal because you are probably going to need his services if the Panthers stink it up for the rest of the year. Next plane message: 

“Send Riverboat Ron down the River”

Some of the names and comments are really really funny.

I've been reading this thread for almost 2 days....

I still have no idea what it's about.

Didn't say they would. I say it may be mentioned/talked about.

Exactly. What's the point?

So get more banners and fly them all with all the names on them. "My name is ______ and I'm a moron for doing this." would be what it actually says no matter what the wording is.

Really, could spend that money on some weed. At least I'll get something out of it.

can't do it during any game.  extends an hour before games kickoff and one hour after conclusion.  Can't get within 3 miles of the stadium (and height in the air ain't go nothing to do with that mileage)

Fly it over Shula's house the day before game.

maybe a gofundme bribe for the operator of the video screens in the stadium. show the plane at every commercial break?

The media these days will air, print, or stream damn near anything if it means greater ratings, readers, or clicks. If a group of people with few means want to get a message like this across, the basic idea of the banner tow isn't that bad, but it won't work effectively alone. 

Sure the TFR prohibits flight within 3 NM after an hour prior to KO. So what? Before that time, the stadium itself is all but empty, but the surrounding outdoor area is jammed with the population equivalent of a medium sized city. People will see it. However, far more will see the message if the groundwork is laid.

If two dozen reporters/outlets are given a heads up, and I mean by using your phone as a phone and call them, accompanied by a release and more stirring of the pot on the WWW, you just might see a dialogue started that gains some traction. Like almost anything else in life, there's no guarantee, except one: If you try hard enough, you might succeed, but if you don't try at all, you WILL fail.
