No stadium seats allowed?

Successfully brought water in - an apparent violation of Homeland Security guidelines.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it RU.

Why are there five all black Suburbans and a helicopter surrounding Shills house?
They would not let us in, my wife has a back problem and we had to leave at the half due to her pain. The game day app clearly says you CAN bring them in....piss poor job by Rutgers again.
Its not just seatbacks.. it is seat cushions too! We were told next week.. no cushions!
That is serious BS with the seat cushions. Why? to sell more of those seats with backs? I rented them one year.. and I found out they leave them hooked to your seat all season long.
Birds crap on them.. rain gets in there.. they get wet when they hose down the birdshite. And at some point you are going to plop into your seat and get some bidet action up your crack. So we went back to bringing in our seat cushions.. some of which are those STS cushions from the 1st game in the refurbished stadium. Yeah.. 23 year old seat cushions.
How about a blanket.. can I bring blanket and sit on it.. grrrr.. this could be the final straw. Its been a long run.. maybe dropping the season tickets is the only thing to do if they keep up this crap.

That better be BS. With my Back issues I am done with Rutgers next year if this is true.
I brought my stadium seat in with no questions asked. However my friend was not allowed to bring in the RU tote bag they were handing out at the Block party even though he had nothing in it.
That's the type of thing that drives me nuts. No common sense and the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Unacceptable
What I don't understand is.. why are we allowing terrorists to affect us all so much?
Whatever we come up with to stop this or that tactic.. there is always something else they could do. If they want to hit a Rutgers football game, they are going to hit it. They won't need to hide stuff in water bottles or seat cushions or daypacks or handbags or fannypacks (which might be terror on the eyes in fashionistas get your ear).

And even if they do hide them in those items, it's not like they're really searched. Watched numerous stuffed tote bags get a light squeeze from the outside before the owner just walked right on in.
Husband had to carry ours all the way back to the car. Others around us had them. Policy stinks
Best thing to do if they say you can't bring it in is walk away and try a different gate
Two points. They told my friend they will allow it this week but next week not allowed . I get to my seats and I pay for seat cushions, problem was they were installed in the row behind me. The people behind me got to their seats and asked each other why they have seat cushions this year. They messed up on the whole row.
They need to have a meeting with the devil's rangers Islanders nets red bulls Jets Giants ysnkeess Mets . All of them allow water and food in the stadium. Absolute soulless money grab. If it was 100 degrees and they didnt allow water in people.woukd be dropping because they didn't order enough water.
so far Hobbs has shown some poor organization and communication gaffs on game day.
what is his email so we can list to him this non fan friendly BS thats going on? for a squad with two wins,RU should be bending over backwards to be fan friendly. Go see how the NJ Devils run things,maybe buy a clue Rutgers.

Somerset Patriots ban outside food but allow water to avoid a public health crisis on hot days. Their vendor is Home Plate Catering, FWIW.
My brother and I bought ours in no problem. While we were walking in some other guy told us he got turned away with his at gate.
they really cannot enforce no seat cushion, people bring in blankets, its pretty easy to just bring it in with the blanket...its disappointing that RU is going down this route
It's like calling the airlines. Just walk back into a different gate in five minutes and you'll get a different answer. $$$$
I got a post game email survey which I did, just to put in the comment about the cushions and bottled water.... If you got the survey, it might be worth mentioning...
I was pissed. We bought official RU Screw seat cushions in the stadium last year, this year we had to throw them in the garbage. Is this a racket Hobbs is running? Buy something one year then they tell you, you can't use it the next. Then try and sell you something else.
We e-mailed them last night about this debacle and took the survey this morning. Piss poor job by RU. My wife wouldn't let me do either as I would have had a few choice words for these imbeciles.

Rutgers is doing it's due diligence ... I can just imagine what would happen if they allowed people to bring in their own sofa and lounge chairs...if something bad happened you would crucify the school for not being pro active... tell it to the dept of Homeland Security...
They're seat cushions, dude. One's that they sold inside the stadium last year. They either made a mistake selling them or not letting you bring them in. I highly doubt Homeland Security just this year added seat cushions to their terrorist threat list. What's next? No parkas or blankets allowed, that works real well for a sport played in the fall and winter.
As usual you exaggerate and take it to the extreme to make your misguided and apologist point. The game day operation has a lot of room for improvement to be kind.
Think he was trying to be funny in his post. Some treat threads as an open mic event.
