What is the current policy for bringing a folding chair into stadium and parking it on the northwest hillside?  IMHO, it is the best way to watch a game for an old 70+ guy like myself.  A bit of shade from trees behind.  No crumbling concrete steps to navigate.  Closer to concessions.  ...

The game has been moved to a 7 PM kickoff due to the heat.

According to the prohibited items stadium chairs aren't allowed but they've never said anything when I bring mine in

Yeah, I've been bringing one in the last few years and nobody has said anything. I think as long as you're not shoving it into someone else, there shouldn't be a problem.

It's hot, but I'm not seeing much chance of storms. Maybe about 10%. There's a couple of small pop-up showers over to the west, but it looks like they're heading south.

Fighting a bit of a cold and cough so I will not make the trip..  Just went out to pick up some Nyquil.  The wind here in Davenport has shifted now coming out of the Northeast.  Breezy but very comfortable here now.
