Austin, Texas – Bevo, the nearly 2,000-pound mascot for the Texas Longhorns—who has once again been barred from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta—is apparently looking for a loop hole to exploit to gain access to the arena on New Years day.

“Is it unprecedented? Yes. Is it impossible? We don’t believe so,” said Thomas Stepp, Director of Communications for football via landline telephone on Tuesday.

“They say there’s not enough room for a mascot of his size…well, we’re going to make them say there’s not enough room for a press member of his size,” Stepp continued.

Stepp pointed out that Uga was welcome with open arms at the SEC Championship game in early December, and Sparky the Sun Devil has gotten no push-back either.

“It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this, but this is where we are: desperate times call for desperate measures,” Stepp continued. “What are we supposed to think at this stage except that the Mercedes-Benz Stadium leadership are staunchly anti-bovine,” Stepp concluded.
