[/quote] The seat cushion offer will be to rent âstadium chairsâ (which have a seat back) for $5 per game. They will place the chair before the game in your assigned spot. You will not be allowed to
bring your own stadium chair. At least. this is the information I got from the ticket office.
Really have a problem with them not allowing outside cushions. Renting a cushion should remain an option among many choices in making oneself more comfortable during a game, not the exclusive remedy. I get that we have to make money. Just comes across as slightly discourteous.
BTW, my back is just fine. Not whining because this will affect me adversely.

Yeah, Jesse says âseat cushionsâ but like 4ever niner said, I think what he means is âstadium seats with armrestsâ which are one of the prohibited items. As far as I can tell, cushions without armrests are okay to bring in.

I hope this is the case. I think not allowing fans to use their own seat cushions will give the wrong impression to a lot of our fans, especially some of the new football fans. Jumping to FBS off the bat puts us at an immediate crossroads for the program. We need new fans, and forcing seat cushion rentals will only chase some potential fans away.
We should provide a cushion thatâs nice enough that fans will want to purchase or rent the cushion, but it needs to be voluntary.
guys⌠Itâs 5 dollars a seat cushion. Thatâs 30 bucks the whole year. If thatâs too much then donât get one, the entire home side already has something to lean your back on. This is not a huge deal. If people are discouraged by what kind of seat cushion they can bring into the stadium, we are in trouble attendance wise.
They could not allow you to bring your own stadium seat. Youâd be fairly pissed if the person next to you brought some cushion which matched his huge ass
and took up part of your space. Yes, I know his huge ass will be taking up your space anyway, but they could hardly list âhuge assâ as a prohibited item now could they?

My point exactly. My concern is that we not chase away NEW FANS because of something as trivial as seat cushions. We need those fans if we are going to hit the level of FBS football we want to.
I personally do not care if I have a seat cushion or not. I have 3 Panther seat cushions and seldom use one for their games (since they started searching the cushions for alcohol).

Sometimes a question answers itself. This year they will search them for explosives. True. NFL stadium entry rules are changing toward the stricter, thanks to the Boston Marathon bombings, I assume.
