Sorry. But it's stupid to imply lots of people stand the majority of the game. Student section maybe, but a lot of them are there for social hour. Most fans who buy a ticket go to watch the team play a football game. We stand when it's warranted, and sit the rest of time.
I hear this crap so much. Really thankful for the fans in X1 who never seem to have an issue figuring out when to stand and when to sit.
I've been going to games since I was 5. I wasn't born 6 ft tall believe it or not. When we went to games, we expected people to be standing. If I couldn't see, I moved around or figured it out. My parents didn't call the cops or ushers because they knew we were AT A FOOTBALL GAME!
Crazy huh?
Hahaha. Hilarious man. You may be scared of cops, not me buddy. I can more than handle my own. And what's with the 'junior'?
So much name calling and judging just because I disagree with some of you. Maybe you are the ones that need to grow up.
I sit in XX2. No one stands the entire game. To imply that you are in a section where everyone stands the whole our even most of the game is asinine (unless you are in the student section). Maybe these people are so drink they just think they are standing...... Actually saw that at a GA game one time.
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.
I see both sides of the issue. However if you were at movies and the person in front of you in a packed house stood up the entire time how would you feel?
Devils advocate....
Why is your hard earned money any more important than the person who wants to sit?
And is anyone actually paying for the right to stand in the stadium? You're paying for a seat. And seats are for sitting.
I honestly don't give a crap who does what. But logically, everyone paid for a seat to sit, not stand. Some people choose to stand but if someone is doing what their ticket was meant for... sitting... the person in front of them should be obligated to sit down.
Just because you pay for something doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Going to a movie and paying for a ticket doesn't give you the right to talk all movie because it's "your hard earned money". Going to a restaurant doesn't give you the right to toss your food on the floor because you spent "your hard earned money" on it and it's yours to do with as you please.
I'm actually all for standing and making noise as part of home field advantage. I'd prefer that be the case. But unless there are some written rules, seems to me the people choosing to sit have the right away because they paid for a seat to sit and watch the game. Not for a seat to sit and watch the back of someone's head.
Where does it say don't sit?
Just as equally a dumb question.
Apparently you weren't raised properly. It's common courtesy. It's respectful to think of others. It's just being a good human. Sit down and watch the game. Stand when appropriate and necessary.
But to stand for up to 4 hours straight is beyond being rude, it's flat out crazy.
Go be an user if you wanna stand the whole damn game.
Out of 102,000+, 101,800+ agree with me.
There aren't as many of you as you think. There really isn't. Really a small faction, just a really hated one.
Sounds like you guys need to meet at a Waffle House.Here's the problem I have, you have no idea how I was raised yet you continue to insult my upbringing and indirectly the job my parents did because I stand at a football game. I'll tell you one thing I'd do that my dad wouldn't approve of, that's pop your smartass in the jaw if you ran it in person as rampantly as you do on here. But like most Internet users, I doubt you would.
my point is i paid for it i should be able to stand,sit,jump up and down whatever i want to do with in reason just like you and every other fan in the stadium! but i will not "sit" when we make a big play or something cause someone else behind me doesn't wanna get off their butt!
