I always have a ton of room under my seat. That's where I usually keep my bag with additional rain gear and cold weather gear.
I understand that some standard must be set, I bet that after a couple games they will solicit advice as to how to adjust.
Larger, smaller, one that includes diapers and baby bottles, blah, blah, blah.

On the contrary, it's an attempt to cease the devolution of the conversation from a post about how the bag policy has changed to how one should parent their children. I read Alum07's post and my immediate reaction was

So forgive me for not continuing an argument which does not actually further the initial point of the post in that the bag policy has changed. I'll accept all the criticism you wish to give for doing so.

See this is where I disagree with you.
The presence of alcohol isn't an indicator of a non-family environment.

I know it's not appropriate to bring my kids to TOTS but, a VT football game is nowhere near anything like TOTS.
That is clear and described as such by VT.
If they are giving away football tickets to VT football games specifically to kids, in the Hokie kids club, then it is definitely designed by VT to be a kid friendly environment.

Well that doesn't exactly further the conversation, and in fact paints an ironic picture of parents being nonresponsive to alternative views. Funny stuff.

It's almost as if kids weren't exposed to crude language when they were young but begin using it overly so when they are on their own...

How circular this has become.

That's just college my friend. Many students just have an inherently vulgar vocabulary while in college. That's just how it is.

Exactly! You don't need a ginormous bag for a 4 hr game. You can change before game and after at your vehicle and have one for during the game. You can leave a lot in your vehicle.

there's really no place for crazy ranting and screaming expletives in a public setting.

does an office count as a public setting? Cause my boss is the reason I haven't brought my kids in to see what daddy does at his new job yet...

Quite frankly, I do not see this policy changing. Just way to much Nasty stuff going on in the world today with terrorism. It's only going to get worse.

Just to expand upon this, I'm not sure if anyone on here was at stepping out this past weekend, but nearly every road that led to Main Street had official vehicles parked in the streets so u could not get there by auto. This was a direct response from what happened in Nice France.

So we are at the point in history where efforts must made to protect everyone. And quite frankly people don't need to be brining in big ass bags anyway, there not a ton of room in those rows when they are packed.

A few year's back I took my son to a game when he was 18 months old. I packed everything I'd need diaper-wise...in a gallon ziploc bag. I'd had to bike to the game with him in the toddler seat so I wasn't about to bring my wife's Mary Poppins diaper bag. Worked out just fine.

Ordinarily, I would say "Seven Nation Army" is way overused, but I really like this version for the Battle at Bristol because it sounds very engine-like.
