In Dan we trust vuvuzellas? Sharp objects? Like what they have on the field? Jeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the recorded announcement outside the stadium used to say that "horns" weren't allowed inside? Looks like that rule was eluded for a number of years.

Nobody would attack a paltry small-potatoes DCI event because 30,000 people at LOS is not that huge? Really? There were around 20,000 in attendance at the recent Ariana Granda Concert attack. There were around 1,500 in the Bataclan Theater when it was attacked. There were around 320 people in the Pulse Night Club when it was attacked. And even if we factor in the World Trade Centers on 9/11/2001, there were around 17,400 'combined' in those towers at the time of the attacks. (and around 2,600 in the Pentagon at the time of the attack but that could be considered a military target not a civilian) So, do you still think that being concerned about a possible attack at a 30.000 extremely soft-target event is in the realm of not being that huge of a target?

I'd be more concerned with walking on a crowded street downtown. Yes to both of these statements; especially the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 My advice? Whether I'm at a Cubs game, Memorial Stadium in Champaign, or Lucas oil stadium, the first thing I do is find the nearest exits. Then I consider my options. Where I sit at Lucas oil, I could jump down onto the track. It's about a five foot jump and I could run into the tunnel. If that's not an option, I'd get as low as I could under my seat. This may sound paranoid to some but I think of it as good survival skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappybara Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Personally, I prefer not living to be scared of everything. Life's too short for that as it is. Don't need to shorten it even more by stressing about things out of my control 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injecting more and more inconvenience and hassle for a statistically nonexistent threat though, that's where it seems some seem all too happy to go.
