Terrorist threats at NFL Stadiums

Al Jezeera is reporting that terriorists plan to strike 7 NFL stadiums simultaneously this Sunday. Supposedly there will be explosives delivered by truck with "fall outs of nuclear proportions". The Dept. of Homeland Security is saying the threat is not credible.

Seahawk stadium is one of the Stadiums on the hit list. I am going to the game. My question is, would this threat keep you home?

No. You can't let terrorists change your life. That is what they want.

Don't let it run your life! You can bet that there will be EXTRA security at all stadiums!

Funny, as far as I know, there is no New York City football stadium. Hopefully the terrorist don't know it's in NJ . And the Giants are away this weekend. But the Jets are playing there.
Sorry, I wouldn't want anything to happen to the Jets fans either.
Or any others, for that matter.

If a bunch of dangerous, deranged criminals start hanging around the Raiders' stadium, how will they be able to tell?

They have pretty good security around Texas Stadium. We get VIP parking passes and they make us open our trunks to check it out if we get there early enough to park on the first few rows next to the stadium.

There is also extra security for Monday Nights games or any National broadcast games.

It would be mighty stupid to mess with football fans..talk about revenge!

I think it was sometime in october.... before what.... an election oh yeah! that was the last time but I'm sure we need to be really scared this time and make sure you vote for the people who will protect you.
