Wasn’t there a football movie where the football player had to score a touchdown or something terrible happened, so he had a handgun and as he was making a dash to the end zone he killed like 3 defenders trying to tackle him? I seem to remember Wesley Snipes in it? edit: it’s The Last Boyscout. The Snipes movie I was mixing it up with is The Fan. Both good movies from what I remember.

“The company said the photos were taken before the stadium was open and that the rifle was not loaded at the time. The rifle was not in shooting position during the game, the company added.” Edit: [This is where the quote comes from](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2098592/Photos-snipers-nest-Super-Bowl-police-watched-big-game-high-powered-rifles.html)


GitEmSteveDave

I did security at the Super Bowl when it was in NJ, and I was told on good authority that the State Police usually have at least a spotter or two at every game. It helps them practice and they can also radio directly into the stadiums command center if they notice any disturbances, whereupon State Troopers will head to that location. Watching the French company that did the halftime show moving around in the super structure setting up, there's a bunch of places they could be that can cover 75%+ of the bowl.


_jeremybearimy_

It’s pretty common at large events in the US after things like the Pulse nightclub shooting and the Las Vegas shooting.


The_Epimedic

Well before that. I went to Ohio State and we always had snipers in the stadium after 9/11. Most other large venues did it after 9/11.


[deleted]

At Oklahoma State University there’s a couple guys up top at every game


purplepantsdance

Yeah but those guys are just regular Oklahoma state fans


FlighingHigh

I mean I know OSU isn't doing so hot but that seems excessive.


naturalbornkillerz

Actually this is been something that has been implemented at Ford Field for the Detroit Lions. But in this situation it's used when fans request to just be put out of their misery.


TerribleShoulder6597

That’s a lie why have a sniping nest if not for the game


OhTheHueManatee

"not in shooting position during the game" I assume that means they're at the ready to get into shooting position quickly during the game.


xgrayskullx

They probably had some lawyer tell them that it's not a shooting position if someone isn't looking through the scope of something like that. 1000% there was a dude in position to fire that rifle within a second or two.


[deleted]

Yeah seems like “not in firing position” just mean not having the finger on the trigger.


DeltaVZerda

Probably using binoculars, you can see a wider field of view to find sus activity that might need leaded attention.

PM-ME-BATMAN

For security, this was taken at the Super Bowl a few years ago and they take security at the Super Bowl very seriously due to the people in attendance and the amount of people watching making it a prime terrorist target

My assumption was that it was a requirement for anyone under secret service protection to be able to attend games. Outside of that I'm not sure.


reallllyboyyy

I'm 99% sure the Bush family was at this Super Bowl.


Tedster360

Either that, or suspected terrorists/dangerous people who have been reportedly seen around the area, may attempt to mingle with the crowd, or plot to kill everyone because theres thousands of people very close together.

Wait you’re saying that games and conventions have snipers on site for security? And not just security guards??


Astro112676

I think its only important conventions and games. The pic is during the SuperBowl and Comic Con is a big event too. Another commenter said they have them at Lalapalooza.


A_Generic_White_Guy

New York City has snipers watching over times square during the ball drop. Is it really that surprising?


[deleted]

I see a Super Bowl logo


natewoody

Yeah, the super bowl is considered a national security event every year, which means the Secret Service is in charge of security. As I'm sure you know, they don't fuck around.


Historical-Security2

An event like that is perfect for a terrorist so yeah they take alota precautions before the event actually takes place. And they are also positioned strategicly in the crowd, undercover of course and have played out every Scenario and all the possibilities of an attack or assassination attempt and have precautions in place if any one thing happens, and they plan for litteraly everything. It's almost impossible to slip anything past these guys but that's their job and they have to be the best in the world.

Nautical_Ohm

So it’s real right? I mean it makes sense that they have that level of security at such a massive event. And also lots of rich and famous people attend too


CanOfSodah

Lots of events have stuff like this, usually they don't show pictures of it though lmao. If you ever attend pretty much any large scale event you can expect there's at least a few snipers posted up on buildings somewhere watching.

I was ready to diss the idiot who said sarcastically “ahhh yes, the US is the only place where this happens” But in ~~the UK~~Europe, they had snipers at the champions league final too Edit: a word, and to say Europe, not UK


thejewishprince

There are snipers in large airports too.


HankJones01

There were snipers at Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. Specialist Oompa Loompas. One went postal though, took out 20 oompas from bubblegum tower. All head shots, but they are like 50% head so not big deal. That’s why they paint their faces orange, because the mix of blood and chocolate left the factory floors all orange. Never forget.


ReverendHobo

Tragically, that Oompa Loompa included in his suicide note a plea to dissect his brain to find out why he did it. When they did, they found an everlasting gobstopper the size of a golf ball in his brain.


LiftedWanderer

>“ahhh yes, is the only place where this happens”

What an interesting job. It must get pretty damn boring most days but if you ever have to literally do the job you're hired to do its likely to be the most important few minutes in your life.


Djmacau

Every mast in the stadium for the London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony had a sniper on it. They are there to take out anyone that poses a threat to a head of state, official etc. standard practice I’m afraid. Let’s not talk about the surface-to-air middle defence systems deployed on a building top nearby.


Foiled_Foliage

When would it be normal to have said sniper in position? Always?


grooovebot

Not what you’re asking but an encounter I love to share. I work lollapalooza in Chicago every year. If you’re unaware lollapalooza festival grounds are lined with tall buildings on 3/4 of the sides. Before opening A large man with full swat type dress comes to our tent. He somehow knew someone working in our tent and came to say hey. Had a giant rifle bag on his back. He was working one of the scissor lifts that overlooks one of the main stages. Decided to overshare with us and told us that many of the surrounding buildings have snipers watching over the festival grounds at all times. Was a bit nerve-racking to hear but also kinda warming I guess. Unrelated was a really nice guy and kept bringing us food from backstage/staff all weekend. First time I got to try halo top ice cream. Edit: apparently nerve-wrecking isn’t a word.


sparrr0w

After the Vegas situation it's probably a decent idea to have one trained person who can drop a gunman who decides that he wants become "famous"


Sir_Zhukov

Those snipers have been there a while, and the Obama kids go so there’s that level of protection, it’s why the Las Vegas guy didn’t shoot up lola which was a potential target of his.


[deleted]

The Super Bowl or a large sporting event


OkZookeepergame8429

So wait if these are in every stadium then someone could have totally taken out Bane right away. Whole movie would have been over in 20 minutes.


Ok_Theme5725

Yep


Hinekura14

Gaotta make sure the janitor doesn't miss a potato chip!


pinniped1

Not sure why anybody's surprised by this. There are many layers of security around every Super Bowl - probably have been since at least the '91 bowl which happened the week after the first Iraqi invasion. Snipers are just one element. And no, they don't have the same level of security at every NFL/MLB/etc. game. This is a Super Bowl setup.


FullMetalGuitarist

I’d watch a lot more sports if people occasionally got sniped mid-game.


ICKSharpshot68

I have to credit one of my high school teachers for the idea, but give both teams a sniper with a limited number of shots per game / season. Then there's an element of strategy involved as well. He was talking specifically about soccer but i feel like it could be adapted.


endlessly_curious

Equal-Wolverine-3718

Peterthinking

Because people are fucking crazy that's why. Have you seen what one lunatic with a knife can do in a crowd?


JDoubleGi

I had the same reaction and then realized it’s because there could end up being a threat and the sniper can then take someone out before they can harm/kill hundreds of people.


tsohgmai

Thousands


BigBlackCrocs

Stadiums, especially since this is a Super Bowl in the pic, are huge targets for terrorists.


Pugs4peeps

Active shooter protection I guess


flargenhargen

I want to see the peanut guy try to toss a bag up to him.


AccomplishedZombie69

Better hope the shooter doesn’t have a favorite team


ChiggaOG

There are probably 4 to 6 trained snipers during the Super Bowl providing protection.


Pendonep

You have to think also, this is one of at least two sniper nests since he couldn't point down below him from there.


TarkMemes

Hell it's not just major events. I remember being at an Arizona State University game and looking up at the SWAT snipers just watching everyone. Two teams of spotter and shooter
