Giant Field Flags
Some teams have expressed concerns about displaying the flag in this manner, since it is not explicitly noted in the US Flag code. We encourage teams to work with local military offices for more details, however it should be noted these large field flag displays are widely accepted. As noted in the US Flag Code, the key is that the flag is shown proper respect; Not letting it touch the ground and treating it with reverence.
The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.
We recommend using one person every 5-6 feet and at each corner.
The New York Times featured a story on this presentation and trend last July as well, trumpeting both the patriotism and the tremendous visual effect.
...The latest can’t-miss blend of sports and patriotism, a combination increasingly presenting itself through gigantic American flags, unfurled by dozens or hundreds of people in an attempt to elicit a sense of awe and nationalism in the surrounding crowd.
Once the gaudy lure of attention-seeking car dealerships or other roadside attractions, big flags have found a comfortable home inside the ballparks, arenas and raceways of American sporting events. (NYTimes.com)
Gameops.com now offers three different sized US Field flags, including a 30 foot by 60 foot flag in The Store on Gameops.com. We also offer Handheld US Flags if you want to supplement your on-field flag with fan flags in the stands.
