Note that umbrellas are on the list of banned items. I believe umbrellas are one of the main weapons used by both Al Qaeda and The Penguin. The Mets want you safe because they want you back and they want you wet.
Also of interest is "no cameras." (See below).
I wonder what will happen to the 50,000 cellphones that people bring. Will they let me bring my iphone in?
I still have not confirmed the rumor that parking is $30.
