police should pat people down, plain and simple. we live in a screwy world and until that changes, safety wins out always.

I know what your saying, but how many people get stabbed/shot in any pro sports stadium to justify it?
Driving to the stadium is more dangerous as well as many other daily activities we take for granted without thinking about it.
Rumor has it 400,000 people a year die from cigarrets in the US alone. Yet cigarrets aren't illegal?

But not even stabbing or shooting someone, but some terrorist could bring in a deadly nerve agent or be a human bomb. If they wanted to pat me down I got no problem with that.

its not gonna make me not want to leave my house, but if I am going somewhere that 50,000+ people are going to be, I would rather be safe than sorry.

I agree, in fact I think it should be done at every stadium. This is a day and age that we have people who want to hurt as many of us as possible in one shot, if it is a safety precaution that would could save the lives of hundreds or thousands, then the inconvenience is moot IMO
