What was up with the helicopter?

Anyone sitting in C deck during the Cinci game surely noticed the helicopter circling about 20 feet over their heads for most of the first half. I think it provided the only breeze of the game! It had some type of govt sticker on it, but it wasn't just a police copter... anyone know the story? It seemed like a dangerous maneuver to me... if something happened they would have come right down on the crowd.

I read somewhere that they spotted someone down for the count outside of the stadium...turned out to be passed out from booze

Tibor?

Just Pruett checking out the Bucks gameplan. It's true. I read it on a Herd website.

It was probably the government stealing your thoughts. Was it a Black Huey? Did you wear your aluminum foil helmet to the game?

Petey was reconning TGII's every move as part of our plan to convince him to transfer. The helicopter can actually dock with Pete Force 1 midair. While connected with the plane, the copter serves as a Starbucks coffee counter with a full-time staff.

Sadly, now I have to kill you.

My father in law works the east stadium lot. He gave me the full story of what happened.

An elderly couple, while in a heated discussion enroute to the game, blew through the homeland security checkpoints. What you didn't see from inside the stadium was the 7 police cruisers, and the SWAT van in the lot across tuttle park from the stadium who had the couple in custody, and were running a bomb sniffing dog through the car.

Wow....for once the real story is much better than the rumors

There was a treat. Did you notice the smartly placed Semi-Trucks? The sharpshooters?

I remember the Spring Game back in (probably) 88 when George Bush was at the game. There were snipers on the towers at the Shoe. That is pretty cool to a 10 year old kid.

My buddy from Yonkers, NY who I took to the game at one point leaned over and said "Hey, tell TJ Hooker to put that thing down sometime soon. People from New York are sensitive about any low-flying aircraft."
