Pregame Flag Experience

[KillaCamNewton]

anyone ever done this before. apparently i won some drawing for tomorrow. clearly it's holding up the flag during the anthem but is there anything else cool you get to do on the field before the game?

You can do whatever you want until someone stops you.  My wife did it once.  Said it was pretty awesome, but it caused her to miss Stew's long run to open the game against Seattle in the playoffs in 2015.

I did it the NFC championship game vs the Cardinals. Pretty cool experience being on the field. They do make you practice before, and you might miss the first start of the game depending on where your seats are.

You should kneel while you're doing it, imho.

Son and I did this for the San Fran home playoff game years ago.  It was pretty cool.  Like some have been saying, you have to get to stadium early and you practice on the practice field.   You will then all carry the flag to the stadium, through the corridors onto the field.  Then hang back against the wall, holding the fold, during warm ups.  Then before player intros we moved to the visitor sideline with the flag, then of course after intro's we opened the flag, etc. 

AS FAR AS MISSING KICKOFF - if its the big flag that covers the entire field, you will miss kickoff because you are all responsible for taking the flag apart (many sections clipped together).   That did take us a little while, so we missed kickoff.
