PHILADELPHIA - A man arrested for running onto the field during the

Philadelphia Eagles' game against the

Green Bay Packers on Sunday told police he was spreading his late mother's ashes.

 

 

 

Christopher Noteboom, of Tempe, Ariz., ran onto the field holding a plastic bag, leaving a cloud of fine powder behind.

 

As he reached the 30-yard line, he dropped to his knees, made the sign of the cross and laid down on his stomach. Security personnel reached him moments later and he offered no resistance as he was escorted from the field.

 

The 44-year-old Noteboom, a native of Doylestown, said his mother died of emphysema in January 2005, shortly before the Eagles' Super Bowl appearance.

 

"She never cared for any other team except the Eagles," Noteboom told WPVI-TV after he was released from custody Monday. "I know that the last handful of ashes I had are laying on the field, and will never be taken away. She'll always be part of Lincoln Financial Field and of the Eagles."

 

Noteboom, a bar owner in Arizona, was charged with defiant trespass. He has a hearing scheduled for Dec. 27.

 

"It's bizarre, but we have a zero tolerance for people who run on the field," Police Inspector William Colarulo said. "We especially have a zero tolerance for people who run onto the field and dump an unknown substance in a stadium full of people."

 

Eagles spokeswoman Bonnie Grant said the team has declined requests to spread ashes on the field.

I gotta admire that.

That's what I want done for me.

When I die, I want someone to lay my ashes across Moscow Field, future home of the Russia Marlins in the FNAIBL (Far North Asian Intimidation Baseball League)

Screw ashes, bury me under the pitchers mound at Marlins Stadium or w/e it'd be called.

what a miserable attention whore.

 

you don't exactly have to run to the 30 yard line with your bag of mystery powder during a game, while players are on the field, if your objective is to simply toss ashes on the field.

 

his ass needs to get the maximum.

yea i sorta agree with shaqman because i mean cmon you cant do that during the game. try it before or after if your gonna do it. but i also feel kinda heartwarmed about it. i wish someone would do that for me at notre dame stadium.

If a Muslim did the same thing, he would've been snipered.

 

 

Give him the maximum. I'm sure Jeffrey Lurie/whoever the hell owns the Linc would have accomodated his request had he done it on a non-game time.

Screw ashes, bury me under the pitchers mound at Marlins Stadium or w/e it'd be called.
