In would be interesting to see if this was done at the Benz stadium. I’m a local so I’m pretty familiar with the stadium.

I’ve done this in my younger years at Auburn and Georgia’s stadium. The hardest part was getting into student sections. In the 2000s you can pass back student tickets and get by the ushers once inside the stadium. It’s much harder once they started asking for student IDs.

Going straight through the front gate is very ballsy. I usually tried to find a weak spot in a fence or watch for others who knew weak spots. Hiding in a bathroom or dumpster before hand is a good idea too.

I’ve revently seen people at music festivals use the shotgun approach. Break through a gate with 10 or more people then run in different directions.

I can afford tickets now and I’m not really interested in getting into legal trouble anymore but I love to think of ways to do it.

The NFL takes over stadium operations during a superbowl. They bring in their own staff and they’re much more rigorous than normal event staff.

I wouldn’t play with national events like the superbowl. I think even minor mischief can bring you legal trouble for years.

With that said during normal events the employee entrance is usually easier to get into. At least one stadium I was at cared more about you when leaving than entering. They wanted to catch thives.

Fake student IDs can be purchased online for not much money, and I bet it's much less risky to use one to get into a student section than using a fake driver's license to buy alcohol.

They may scan them to make them one time use? Could always program a non-attendees info onto the barcode/mag stripe though.
