These are going to spawn a new badass supporters group who sling them across their chest . . . the Blue Fanny Pack Brigade

TR Light Rail has that market cornered already

Think something like this would be acceptable to bring to the stadiums?

Probably if coordinated with the clothing...

I really wanna see if they're gonna have security armed with measuring tapes at the metal detectors now.

maybe they might take a page from what some airports do . . .

The Philadelphia Union have announced that to allow for the expected delays from new screening procedures, they are opening the gates 90 minutes before game time tomorrow instead of the usual (presumably 60).

But unlike the airports with those, will they actually use them?

Most airports have them, but I rarely, ever see them actually used.

In all my years, I've had to place my carry-on bag in there twice at the airport. Leaving on the trip, it fit. Heading home on the same trip, they had a different size bin at the other airport and it didn't fit. Needless to say, I threw a fit.

I can't imagine I'm the only one on this forum who wants to see the airport security video footage of this.

I know some people contacted their ticket reps, but I also reached out to NYCFCHelp on Twitter - the bag policy on the NYCFC.com website remains in place:

I forgot to mention that Philly implemented the MLS policy for the first time Saturday and I saw no hitches or delays. They used wands instead of the walk-thru metal detector, and had no baskets to put your stuff in when you emptied your pockets. Despite this, security moved faster and more smoothly than at YS where they've been doing this for more than a year.

The MLS policy is just confusing - like can you bring backpacks that are under the size limit? Or no backpacks at all? what about messenger bags? The NYCFC policy on their website is a lot clearer than the league rules

yeah you just held everything in your hands which I think sped things up
