CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

The 12th Man flag will not be flying loud and proud at the upcoming Seattle-Carolina play-off game, but it will not be for a lack of Seahawks fans.

At the Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, fan flags can be no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, according to KIRO 7 News’ sister station WSOC in Charlotte.

And as it may feel like an unfriendly move toward the Seahawks, a revised banner policy went into place in November after Panthers quarterback Cam Newton tore down a Packer fan’s banner.

Stadium officials said the incident at the Green Bay game did play a role in prompting them to review the policy, but there were talks before that about changing it.

Panthers fans and rival teams alike will still be allowed to bring signs into the stadium, as long as they fit within the new size requirements.

Thats a dumb rule.

Maybe they should just ban people from rappelling from the upper deck and hanging massive signs instead

eta:
I guess the best thing about it is that you dont have people holding things up in front of the people behind them, not allowing them to see. If thats the logic then it makes sense to me.

So if something’s obviously larger than that 24-by-24 or obstructing someone from behind, our people will get involved.


the logic behind the rule

Don't really care either way, except to say that 2 feet by 2 feet isn't really a "poster." Nobody can read that.

Then stop being an a-hole and leave your sign at home. Everyone that sits 3-4 rows behind you wants you to drop dead, FACT.

If you bring a flag to a football game, you're an a-hole. No one important can see that shite. You're just hoping to get on TV and obstructing people's view in the process. Show up and make noise like a normal fan.

Nope. Not when youre sitting behind a stupid a-hole that feels the selfish need to bring a sign to a game to express whatever in the hell it is that he feels the need to express. Why cant everyone just go to a game to enjoy it and not be inconsiderate dicks to everyone around them?

Poor Randolph he must be furiously researching for some precedent to allow the flags to fly

I agree with that. It's annoying and stupid.

You know what's creative? When somebody makes a sign that has new words made out the letters CBS or FOX, like "Can't Beat Seattle". Or when somebody shows up with the letter "D" and the guy next to him brings picket fence posts.
