I still have to question this. The main air intake (Why would a football stadium need an air intake anyway? Don't they, like, get air through that big open area up above the seats and the field? Or is this a domed stadium?) hadn't been identified as a vulnerable spot until after this group of men were spotted near it. Why did it become a sensitive area then, when it wasn't considered so during the preliminary scouting for the trip? Could it be that it was the group of Muslum men that aroused suspicion, and their location used as justification after the fact?
They had a reasonable explanation for being there. If there's no evidence that they were going to do anything harmful, and none is presented here, why move them to new seats, guard them there, and escort them to their cars? If the air intake was the problem, and not that these men were Muslum, their going back to their seats would have ended any potential threat.
I'm still of the mind that had it been a group of young white/Asian women from my family, we might have been questioned, but the more extreme measures likely wouldn't have been taken in the absense of some reason to believe we were a threat.
