Except many of those in Portland don't want to be working. (Rim shot please) Hey, I watch Portlandia. "It's where young people go to retire."

Looks great.

The only sad part is how big the damn stadium is.

Would be nice to have that unfurled at the nessy on the east stands during a game this year. Would be more size appropriate.

Actually I'm not sure there's a good way to unfurl it at the Nessy. As small as it looks in the dome, the East Stand is too short to pull it out as designed and is even flatter.

I guess there's no reason we couldn't use the two outside banners and the star... that might work.

Ok. almost got a bit choked up as I finally got to hear the music to the unfurling. That's our baby boy there, kids. Thanks Pfutz. I have a lot of ideas I throw out there and I need people who ummm have motivation to make them actually happen. A lot of people put in the hours to make it and you bothered them like no one else to make sure it happened.

I don't think it would be very tough to do at the nessie. Are the east stands really not 90' long? If so we can just drop the middle section. Raising the would need to be done with a pole, but that would not be a real big deal. As far as flatness, we would need to improve our system for holding it a bit. Ideally I think we would want to attach it to the first level of stands, clear out the first few rows, and then have people at the top holding it over their heads.

Alright, now that I type it out it seems more complicated. Carry on.

I mean it's hard to get it unfurled vertically Stephan and Pfutz envisioned it. That thing needs probably 60' of vertical space to open out in without somebody jumping off the back of the stand, and when we were opening it up to grommet and fold at the main stand of the Nessy everybody looked across the field and thought "no way."

I could be wrong.

Who's even got that damn thing now? Did it survive the night?

I have it, safe and sound.

We'll use it at seat covers at the stadium, so it wont be unfurled in the traditional format again,

I wonder if there is a way to run it laterally along the stands WHILE WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO PUT THE SCORE ON THE SCOREBOARD AFTER ALL THE GODDAMNED GOALS WE SCORE AT THE NSC.

Because we'll be doing that a lot - I can feel it!
