Hello. I was sitting in section K last night and a Vol fan about four rows in front of me was standing up and cheering for the Vols. The guy behind him politely asks him if he would sit down. He then says I am a VFL and cheering for my team. The fan then gets the cops to ask that man to sit down and he pleads his case to the cops saying he is cheering for his team. I had no problem with this man standing and cheering for the Vols. So why did the cops ask him to sit down? Didn't that man have the liberty of standing up and cheering for Tennessee? Thank you for your time.
Here is my rule basically. If the person in front of me stands, so shall I. Cant see because im standing? Tell the guy in front of me to sit down. Im a partial stander. I tend to spring onto my feet if we make plays. I also dont want to miss any gameplay because im sitting behind a stander.
Don't go revealing my kryptonite.
And let it be known, hugs from bare chested women will get me to sit down, but mini-me will then be standing up.
Don't be fooled by the mini-me moniker. He's about the size of Verne Troyer.
Its a damn football game!! Some of us drive many hours and spend much of our hard earned dollars to cheer on our vols. I don't view it as being a jerk if I like to stand and yell. This is absurd. I got kicked out of an opener several years ago for this very thing and it still pisses me off to this very day.
Its a football game. If you cant stand and cheer then give your seat up to someone who will.there are plenty of tv timeouts to sit back down and rest.
Sorry, but college football isn't supposed to be watched passively like golf or tennis. Fans should participate and, yes, STAND when their team scores or plays defense. This is an accepted social convention in every football stadium outside of Knoxville. Unless you have some kind of disability, when you ask somebody ahead of you to sit down at a college football game YOU'RE the one being rude.
If you want to watch the game on your ass, you're perfectly free to stay home. Sitters like you are the reason why Neyland Stadium isn't as loud as smaller capacity stadiums like Florida or LSU. How did our fan base get so soft that people are now complaining about fans standings at a football game??? Embarrassing!!!

Question why do ushers act like I'm killing some when smoking a vapor cig? Blowing off stadium sides. I was told once and he said if I see you again I will have police escort you out of stadium....
What irks me the most is the willful docuhery from the "Must-standers". If someone behind you politely asks you to sit down because they can not see and you say no, then that is just pretty damn rude and inconsiderate. They came to watch the game too. Not the backside of your pants.

So you're telling me I'm wrong i didn't stand everywhere? I've never set in an opposing teams student section yet I've stood at 9 out of the 10 SEC stadiums I've been to plus OU, Cocktail Party and Clemson/Bama Chick-Fil-A kickoff. Most of those games were buying an opponent, season ticket holders extras and sitting with them.
I hope I end up standing in front of your lame ass one day.
Where does it say don't stand?
Same reason no umbrella in the stadium.Hello. I was sitting in section K last night and a Vol fan about four rows in front of me was standing up and cheering for the Vols.
