->> I came across this last night, and am curious what the community thinks about this policy:

I didn't see this for the Fiesta, Orange or Rose. |

It could be a conspiracy to have photogs upgrade to the newer lighter gear with image stabalization :0) |

| ->> ...or a conspiracy to bring professional photographers down to the level of us poor students who can't afford long autofocus, image stabilized glass. |

->> I'd be curious to see if monopods are allowed at the Peach Bowl, also played at the Georgia Dome.
Otherwise, the photogs need to start lifting weights!
Have fun. Wish I'd be there. |

| ->> After watching Corey Dillon smash into a group of photographers in the endzone today, maybe it should be considered. Gear went a-flying and the monopods really did not help matters. |

| ->> i'm sure that rule list was made by an overzealous middle manager of the sugar bowl, and that it would not even be an issue come gameday. i would be hesitant to even bring it up to them. |

->> "Individuals assigned by the media director will assist photographers on the field level. "
I guess this means that individuals assigned by the media director will get down on all fours and allow those using a 600 to balance the lens on their back. |

->> Mark, if you haven't put that shot on your Myspace yet with the hawk in the Funpix, please do. That has to be like the best shot ever. I want to hear the story behind that one. And again...he's without a monopod ;)

| ->> That's interesting, the rules have changed. Unless all 20 of us misread rule #5, they must have found their goof and changed it. |

| ->> I specifically remember them saying neither tripods or monopods allowed, so they must have changed it. |

| ->> I too will confirm that the original posting said "no tripods or monopods." It's good to see that someone came to their senses. |
