I made it to Sports Illustrated

Not every day you can find yourself across the entire stadium.  The last pick is the one I took.

Congrats. Wish it was for a better reason than taking a picture of a pathetically empty stadium

Why don't they let the fans up top come down closer to the field?? It's the least they could do to thank them for actually coming to the game.

They're too lazy. Someone would've had to decide on it, then ask their boss for approval. That boss would've had to ask their own boss. Once the approval came back, the original guy would've had to ask lawyers/HR type people to make sure nothing could go wrong. Once the ok came back, the original person would've had to tell one of their team to get the ball rolling. That person would've had to reach out to their own team of 5-10 people. Those 5-10 people would've had to reach out to the 50 ushers. Those ushers would've had to then speak to the fans. Once that happens (assuming ALL of this was planned before), the fans could then file to the correct seats. If it wasn't planned, those ushers would then point the fans to certain gates where some poor elderly seat sitter would try and sit all these new people.

It was dark blue.  Close enough I guess.

By the time all of that was completed the game would be over. That's why it didn't happen.

One year in Atlanta when we spanked the ever living fug out of the Falcons all their fans left and a ton of us congregated in a few lower level sections.  We just did it and no one stopped us. I would have just went down on my own Sunday if I had an upper
