I was told by an ROTC instructor years ago that "One can ALWAYS delegate authority, but one can NEVER delegate responsibility".

S.O.P., I would think. I'll definitely be asking Ingram to elaborate on that "Tickets For Toddlers" policy. I know of at least one NFL team that charges full price for infants and toddlers...I know this doesn't sit well with a lot of us. Maybe another town hall Q&A with the AD sometime this season is in order. I'll plan on being there if there is...But this needs to be addressed collectively, individual phone calls and emails may be more than likely, dismissed, as I've experienced with all my past and previous inquiries to the sports marketing department. Green & Gold Alliance?

I got a response last night. As others have said, they plan to keep the policy for this season.

That isn't the case for every NFL team by any means though. I don't feel like wasting the time to go through every NFL team's policies but the Nashville Titans allow free entry for children under 2 and the Atlanta Falcons allow free entry for children under 33" in height.

Add this to the list of fan amenities that we feel should be addressed by UAB (in this case) or by P&R at Legion Field. The list seems to get longer every season, not shorter.

What if your infant fits inside a 12" x 6" x 12" clear plastic bag?

I think there will be quite a few pissed off people Saturday when they come to the game with season tickets and didn't know they had to buy a ticket for their pre-toddler...what happens, then, if there isn't a seat available next to the existing season tickets?

This, combined with the new bag and chair policy, could add up into quite the debacle.

I'm hoping for the best though.

Unfortunately, since the bag is clear, they will be able to see the infant and thus will thwart your good-faith effort to exploit a loophole.

A&M fans will be in for the same surprise when they try to get in.
