Absolutely disgusted.

[twylyght]

I think it sucks that smoking has been likened to criminal behavior . However, I have to respect the house rules. I have to agree with rayzor that having too much bend in the rules actually speaks volumes to not just the violator, but everyone witnessing the act.

I find it funny how there are so many in here are railing against smoking, but i bet the majority of you drink alcohol which can be more deadly for others than cigarettes ever could. 

 

You whine about having to smell the smoke, yet you have zero issue with the beer bellied slug in front of you slamming bud lites then getting behind the wheel of a car after the game. Thats perfectly acceptable, but god forbid someone take a puff of a cigarette away from people. 

 

The only reason we even serve beer at games yet ban cigarets is because the alcohol industry has MUCH better lobbyists than the tobacco industry. Thats it. Alcohol is HORRIBLE for the body and mind, can lead to rage and fights(since we are talking about these acts within a stadium) yet people consume it by the damn gallon. Give me a f'ing break.

 

 

 

I find it hilarious how people can sit there and say, 'cigarets are disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourself for smoking. Now let me just grab another beer so i can add to my already large gut while i become more and more incoherent as the alcohol begins to effect my judgement and motor skills'

Anyone would have issues with beer drinkers  if drinking beer meant making people around you drink parts of your first and second hand beer. Your analogy makes no sense.

I bought my Tampa Bay tickets so long ago. 

I promised a great time. One who had never been to a game, the other a life long tampa bay fan (respect).

 

It started off as a great day. My friends and I met up to ride down to Charlotte, after having had a Hardees breakfast.

 

We reach Uptown Cabernet on Morehead, and pay 20 bucks to park.

"My friends, we are in for a great time."

 

Time comes. We move towards the stadium.

 

The congregation of Carolina fans, underneath a bridge, singing, Gregorian chant-like, of our victory.

 

I had forgotten, at the entrance, that I had a pocket knife in my coat pocket given to me by my father. I threw it away.

 

 

We go in. Fun is had. 

 

For my friend, he enjoyed the 6 points that Tampa had gotten. For me, it was watching, live, Cam Newton, run for 57 yards.

 

Half Time happens.

 

My friends and I move towards the innards of the stadium.

 

I had promised my Tampa friend a beer earlier, and had intent on full fulling it.

I go through a line that I had learned was cash only. No big deal.

 

I need a smoke. I ask the kind lady behind the concession stand, where the designated smoking area was ( Yeah I didn't read the ticket.)

 

I light up a half-time-didn't-smoke-since-downing-shitty-beer smoke.

After a few seconds of lighting my fateful smoke, I was asked by the concession stand "security" guy to put out my smoke, as the whole of BOA is non-smoking. My fault, I oblige. 

 

While putting out my smoke, I reflexively hit it one more time, which was enough for this security guy to say that I was not complying.

 

I was then, beyond my pleading of how insane this was, escorted out of the stadium, left to my own frustrated tears, and embarrassment. 

 

Huddlers, did I do something more wrong than unknowingly smoke in a smoke free facility, and did it facilitate me being escorted out

 

 

I had to let this out, It was an absolute frustration all day.

 

 

You should thank the security guard that was trying to prevent you from developing cancer to yourself and those around you.. If you have a death wish you may want to consider Russian roulette.

It sounds like the security guard over-reacted big time.  A stern warning would have been fine.

 

I would write up a letter to Danny Morrison or JR.

Welp this thread is about tapped out...
