I had my clear plastic bag and in it I had rain ponchos, two bottles of water and a roll of paper towels to dry off seats.

First inspection was fine. No problem.

After the ticket scan I was approached and told I couldn’t keep the paper towels.

Did they think this old lady was going to throw the paper towels? I could do more harm with a corn dog

Next time hide the paper towels in a sousaphone.
 
We had paper towels confiscated from our bag before the Monroe game. We brought a couple of hand towels today and didn't have a problem.

I know toilet paper is on the prohibited items list, I suppose a roll of paper towels is pretty similar.
 
At the Iowa game, they tried to tell us our empty metal Kleen Kanteen water bottle was prohibited because they couldn’t see through it. No where on the site through the Gameday link does it say empty water bottles must be clear. They seem to move the goalposts on their policy.

You must not remember that back in the day we use to streamer toilet paper rolls out onto the field. If you got just the right spin on the roll it would create a very long streamer. Security never seemed to understand it was just a physics experiment.

The frozen oranges we threw were more dangerous.

"Frozen"? Why on earth would you freeze them? There was nothing like watching your orange splat on the 50 yard line after the first score of the game. Looking back, I'm not sure how I had the arm strength to get it there. :-)
 
So when did the oranges disappear? I assume it was after we were no longer affiliated with the orange bowl? That 1st score of the season the endzone would be littered with oranges.
