Problems solved by technology

For several reasons, such a task can be difficult.
Setting these items down at each destination creates the risk of forgetting about them and leaving them behind, or even having them stolen.
In addition, such items may be too many or too large for placing in the pockets of one's clothing.
Furthermore, keeping these items in a person's hands, at all times, obviously prevents them from having their hands free for completing tasks.
The fan encounters the problems of not having enough pocket space, and risks having such items lost or stolen if they are placed under stadium seats.
Further, there has not been a convenient way to allow local regional advertisers, for example within a particular city, to advertise by providing a highly desirable officially licensed (such as by an international governing sports authority) promotional product to users for free that assists fans in carrying their personal items.
Typically local regional advertisers have not had the capability to procure official licensing from national and international sports organizations and governing bodies, etc.

BACKGROUND [0001] This invention relates to providing a system for improved apparatus and methods for providing sports representation containers. Typically, people need to carry with them smaller personal effects such as money, credit cards, makeup, keys, papers, identification, consumables, and other personal, portable items.

In addition, such items may be too many or too large for placing in the pockets of one's clothing. Furthermore, keeping these items in a person's hands, at all times, obviously prevents them from having their hands free for completing tasks.

The fan encounters the problems of not having enough pocket space, and risks having such ...
