p.1 #1 · Question about Edward Jones Dome- spectator not professional
I'm going to see the Dolphins play in St. Louis on Nov 30th. I was wondering if anyone knows what equipment they will allow you to take in? I am wanting to take my 30D and 70-200 f4 L. Don't want to get to the door and get turned away.
Of course, if any of you professionals need a sideline assistant for this game, I'm available

I've run into this at several stadiums and arenas.
My suggestions:
* Carry your camera around your neck with your smallest lens attached (ideally something non-zoom, like 50/1.8 or 85/1.8)
* Print and carry the stlouisrams.com webpage that shows that rule. If challenged, the printout will give the gate rep enough to wave you through. I think you'll find that they're usually interested in moving as many people in as fast as possible. They're usually more interested in looking for alcohol or weapons.
* Carry your zoom lens in the pouch pocket of a hoodie sweatshirt... this has worked very well for me. The intent isn't to hide it, but IMHO you don't need to worry about disclosing it unless asked... when going through a metal detector at a presidental rally, I mentioned that I had a zoom len, quick pat down and was waved through by Secret Service even with a 500mm Bigma).
