From photos I've seen, they really got up into the rafters, pictures of the culprits look largely like "hippie" types. Looks very dangerous though they had harnesses and propelling gear it looks like. One of the 2 caught looks like a woman with an Asian background. What brash behavior.

Dakota Access Pipeline protesters unfurl a banner during the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday.
(CNN)Two Dakota Access Pipeline protesters unfurled an anti-DAPL banner from the rafters high above the Minnesota Vikings game Sunday, but the game went on.
Looking at times like Spider-Man, the pair hung from what appeared to be rappelling gear alongside their banner during the first half of the Vikings' matchup against the conference rival Chicago Bears. The banner included a U.S. Bank logo with the word "divest" written vertically down the banner. At the bottom, it said, "#NoDAPL."
The Vikings' home stadium in Minneapolis is named U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minneapolis-based financial institution is reportedly a major investor in the controversial project.
