When I asked why, I was told in complete seriousness: "Because a terrorist could use it to slit your throat." This was three years after 9/11, and Americans were still that scared. Went to a Devil Rays game as well, and likewise didn't get a lid. I did get to heckle and boo Barry Bonds though.
Wow, you are a braver man then me. I wouldn't be able to keep composed the entire time if I had to attend the Stanley Cup parade of the team that just beat my own.

Great thread. It's really cool to hear stories about what/where everyone was when the run happened.
