Human Factors; Procedure
I was talking to ZZZ Tower and they said I was barely in the TFR at [the stadium].  I told them there was no TFR because the Stadium seating capacity was [less than 30;000].  For the TFR to be in effect; the stadium must hold 30;000 or more.  I told [Tower] that I had an email from the FAA to confirm there is no TFR.  I flew more to the South to make the controller happy.  According to my GPS; I was less than 1/4 mile in the TFR circle.  There is still ongoing debates with the [sports teams]; TRACON and the FAA whether or not there was a TFR or not.  If you read the FDC/NOTAM; it's very clear that the TFR was not in effect because of the seating capacity.
Banner towing pilot reported adjusting flight course to remain clear of ambiguous ATC warning of possible TFR penetration.
