So much security that not sense.<p>I attend college football games.  Everyone goes through security.  Outside security we pack up in masses of humanity outside the gates waiting to get through the inevitably slow security.<p>It would be far more effective to do something at the gates dude to the density of humanity there where there is no security ... than in the stadium where people are actually more spread out.<p>If someone did want to do something at such a sporting event, nothing is stopping them from doing it at the gates where there is a reliable and unsecured mass of humanity, and I don&#x27;t think anyone is bothering with that ...<p>I used to wheel my grandfather into games on a wheelchair... they didn&#x27;t check anything, just waved you through.
