Abstract
Abstract A combination portable stadium cushion and pennant includes a seat cushion made of a block of foam material or the like, enclosed within an outer cushion cover, an inverted U-shaped member attached to a top part of the seat cushion and having a plurality of pockets formed in side walls thereof. The U-shaped member is made of a transparent plastic material and has openings into the pockets at the top edges thereof. The cushion may be used as a pennant by inserting bumper-stickers or the like displaying information about a team into the pockets. In another embodiment, the cushioned seat has a rectangularly shaped extendible member slidable in and out of a cavity in the cushion. The inverted U-shaped member then is placed on the extendible member.
