This Blue Coat at SAP Center at San Jose tried to refuse my entry to the San Jose Sharks game because my camera is "Professional Looking". I told him my lens is less than six inches long. I asked him to call over my pal Ed http://www.pbase.com/elliot/image/154933690) to correct his misinterpretation of SAP Centers camera rule.
According to SAP Center's Arena FAQs for Shark games "Still cameras (film or digital) are permitted for Sharks games and other professional or amateur sporting events, as long as the lens does not exceed six inches in length."
SAP Center's Arena FAQs for concerts states "The use of still cameras (film or digital) for concerts, cameras that are considered professional in nature or have a detachable lens are prohibited."
Here is the sign on the doors at SAP Center. http://www.pbase.com/elliot/image/55326236
