BACKGROUND [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This patent relates to a waste receptacle for use in spots and entertainment venues having stadium type seats. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] U.S. Pat. No. 5,887,942 describes a trash collection bag that is mounted to the underside of a folding stadium type seat. When the seat is folded up the bag flexes back toward the seat to allow unobstructed passage. When the seat is folded down for use the bag swings forward for easy access. [0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a stadium seat waste receptacle that can be easily mounted to the back of a stadium seat for use by the person seated behind the stadium seat [0006] A further object of the invention is to provide a waste receptacle that does not obstruct passage but is easily opened and closed. [0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a trash bag mountable to a stadium seat that can carry advertising or decoration viewable by the person seated behind the stadium seat. [0008] Further and additional objects will appear from the description, accompanying drawings, and appended claims. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The present invention is a trash bag removably mountable to a stadium seat for collecting debris that otherwise would be deposited on the floor of an entertainment stadium. The trash bag comprises a front panel and a rear panel affixed along three sides. The trash bag can be transparent to enable a worker to determine at a glance whether the bag needs to be emptied. [0010] The front panel has a top edge, a bottom edge and opposing side edges. The rear panel has a top edge, a bottom edge and opposing side edges and a seat facing side that faces away from the front pane. The front and rear panels are affixed by a heat seal or other means along their bottom edges and their side edges to define an open mouthed receptacle. The front and rear panel side edges can slope inward to create a cone effect. [0011] The front and rear panels have the same horizontal dimension, but the rear panel has a greater vertical dimension so that the rear panel top edge extends above the top edge of the front panel. The trash bag further comprises a collar panel defined as that part of the rear panel that extends above the top edge of the front panel. The collar panel has a seat facing side that can bear advertising, a trademark or other indicia. [0012] The trash bag further comprises means for removably attaching the bag to a seat back. The attachment means can be a layer of adhesive extending across the collar panel on the seat facing side of the rear panel and a removable non-adhesive strip overlaying the layer of adhesive; a carrying handle affixed to the bag near the rear panel top edge and configured to loop over the stadium seat; a hook and loop type fastening system or any suitable means. [0013] The front panel and/or rear panels near their bottom edges can be is porous, or can have small holes to allow water to pass through in the event of rain. THE DRAWINGS [0014] FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a stadium seat trash bag according to the present invention. [0015] FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view of the stadium seat trash bag of FIG. 1. [0016] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the stadium seat trash bag of FIG. 1 in use. [0017] FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of a second embodiment of a stadium seat trash bag according to the present invention. [0018] FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view of a third embodiment of a stadium seat trash bag according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0019] Turning to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 one embodiment of the stadium seat trash bag 10 of the present invention. The purpose of the trash bag 10 is to collect debris that normally is deposited on the floor of an entertainment stadium while providing an advertising or decorative medium. [0020] The trash bag 10 comprises a front panel 12 and a rear panel 14 affixed along their bottom edges 16 and side edges 18 to provide an open mouthed receptacle. The front and rear panels 12, 14 have a similar lateral (horizontal) dimension, but the rear panel 14 has a greater vertical dimension so that its top edge 15 extends above the top edge 13 of the front panel 12. As a result, the bag 10 includes a collar panel 20 defined as that part of the rear panel 14 that extends above the top edge 13 of the front panel 12. The collar panel 20 preferably is about two inches high and extends across the top of the bag 10. The collar 20 panel provides easier access to the inside of the bag 10 and prevents the user from contacting the seat 22 on which the bag 10 is mounted.
