And this is the other side of it that I can see too. If you want people in front of you to sit, be polite about asking them.
This isn't real complicated.

Good point. Further, if you offer to buy the guy a beer and high five him about the Cyclones, it shows respect for him while you are asking him to sit/stand.
Generally we've had a lame program - the fans fall in line. I do wish our fans were more involved at the game. The ironic thing is, during a timeout or break, the fans that have been sitting during the game (and during very key parts of it) will stand up. Same thing happens during our basketball games. I never have and never will understand it.
Sad thing is, even in a win - Cyclone fans were seek out something to complain about. I swear it's a subliminal message hidden in our logo or something.
I'm all for standing when the situation calls for it. I make sure to stand and be as loud as I can when it's 3rd down and the Cyclone defense is on the field, or when a big and/or spectacular play is made, or when the officials make a horrible call, etc.
What I don't understand is the fan who really doesn't cheer a whole lot more than everyone else does and thinks he'll be able to see the game a WHOLE lot better if he stands the entire. And that doesn't apply to just football games at JTS, but any sporting event I go to.

I think standing the whole game has a bigger impact on basketball than football because of the quick pace.
But who cares who stands or sits during a football game. To each his own as long as they are being courteous to others around them and supporting the team to the best of their ability.

I had a lady behind me at the bowl game last year demanding that I sit down - really wanted to punch her in the face. She was knitting a sweater because she didn't care about the game and yet wanted me to sit down.
I think it is a bit ridiculous to stand the whole game. I have the seat back cushions. I like to sit and watch the game. During the key plays I don't mind everyone standing and cheering. But to stand the whole game??? The standing and cheering on the team during the key plays is a bit meaningless then IMO.
If people want to stand then they must want a higher vantage point from which to see. Therefore the UPPER decks would provide the people who want to stand the whole game with the best view.

The Chiefs fans stand most of the game. Arrowhead is considered to be the closest to college of any NFL venue. It is also the most intimidating. I noticed fans standing outside the students section and thougth it looked pretty awesome. Stay home if you frown on this.
Perhaps she was knitting because she couldn't see the game???
From what I could tell she lived in the area and her husband wanted to go to the game and she just got pulled along.
I was still in shock that some one would be knitting at a football game - I guess she was shocked that people would stand for more than 20 mins???
Knitting?? at a football game?? at a bowl game, even?? :biglaugh::biglaugh:
Knitting at a football game goes together as well as drinking beer in church.
Especially when a lot of those people arent really cheering any more than anyone else in the stadium, and often less, theyre just standing there. They just want everyone to see and KNOW that theyre a better fan than everyone else.
