Good point. Colored smoke bombs would be the way to go and no, this stuff is not for kids.

I do not like smoke bombs, too You see nothing and gets no air.
If it's the normal "black".
But if it is colored, it is ok because it looks good.
I think we can agree, first time only use Smoke Bombs at Away games.

But this we should practise first, perhapse at tailgating. is not without danger.

yea that's what I'm thinking, I might bring a green smoke tube for the Miami trip, but nothing for the home games.

I would doubt that flares/smoke effects at the tailgate would be a problem. We should possibly find out first.

I'm just really stuck on being allowed to take in flag poles right away for home games. I'm not going to spend too much time and money on making a couple big flags if I cant use them. :(

Obviously if they say no, we play nice and make them love us and hug us until we can get away with anything.

Steve...great idea for the mullet!

We need to find fabric for someone to make mini Miami FC uniforms to put on the fish.

I'll hop on the train with everyone else. This is going to be a long season, with 15+ games on tap. No sense in starting off on a bad note.

On the other hand, there's a near-empty shopping center across the street from the stadium....

Kidding...maybe.

Ya, for the Miami games I'll be throwing Mullet. I also realize that I will be thrown out here in Tampa, and when we go to Miami (Ft. Lauderdale).

I do this respectfully, and to remember all the old school Rowdies fan.

I also 2nd and 3rd the comments made by Jeff (it was nice to meet you again btw!) and Carrie said. I want to have fun, and I want all of us to have fun...but I want basically do whatever the Yankees/Steinbrenner Brass tell us to do. I don't want to piss anyone off, and I don't want Ralph's Mob to have a negative rep. (I know this will never happen though)

here, here. Once again, Carrie has very quickly put her finger on the point. Once the stadium folks (the working stiffs who we all know are just folks like us) get to know us by seeing the mob every game. They will love our good natured fun loving side and know we are not thugs (just a mob). If it is like FSU or other big sports events it is the same security guy at section XXX and the same ushers etc. We'll most likely know them on a first name basis. I bet by mid season anything like flag poles, smoke "devices" air horns etc will not be a problem for us even if they are still "Not Allowed". In the Air Force we say there is a waiver for everything if the situation calls for it.

i think we are just talking about the Miami away game. I'm not risking anything at home games.

Please just remember everyone, not only are we guest at the stadium, but so is the team. i know it sucks that we can't take certain things in right now. But remember they are used to quiet and calm spring training games and baseball games. They don’t know too much or understand much about soccer culture so we need to respect that for right now. I think once the stadium staff sees us at the games and gets to know us, things will change down the road. Remember, we could be there for awhile since it takes time to build a stadium. Just because we can’t have something now, doesn’t mean we might not be able to have something in the future. You might not even be able to get items in passed security. Plus, you are taking the risk of getting yourself kicked out of the game and possibly affecting the relationship we have with the team. Like I said they are guest as well to the stadium. The team is trying their best to get us to be allowed to take the items we want in, but we need to respect the outcomes, even if we don’t agree on them.
