I wanna party with you, cowboy.
Seriously, you and I (and Falstaff-in-Philly) have the exact same outlook. It just isn't necessary to stand for the whole game. And Stoj, I disagree about the end zone stuff. Basically what you're saying is that people who can't afford 50-yard-line seats have a right to be as obnoxious as they want even though they paid less to get in.
In my section there were a bunch of frat boys about five rows in front of us who absolutely REFUSED to sit down, no matter what the situation. And it's not like they were always paying attention to the game, either. Mostly they were just standing around drinking and carrying on. Finally a guy in front of us asked them to sit down (during a dead ball where we were going on offense), whereupon they started laughing at him and one of them turned around and said (and of course it got DEAD QUIET just before he said it), "Why don't you just stand up, you FAT !@#$?"
Now I'm no prude but the guy was with his wife, and directly in front of us were two boys ages 8 and 6 or thereabouts. There was just no call for that kind of thing. Actually I'm pretty proud of the people in our section, because we all shouted them down and a few people went up to report it to security, whereupon the frat boys sat down for the rest of the game.
I mean, Stoj, I can turn this around on you. Yeah, the guy who wants to sit and enjoy the game can stay at home and watch on TV, but what about the six boozy frat boys who are more interested in their next beer and in busting on each other? Why can't they stay in their frat house and watch on TV? What gives them more of a right to attend the game and sit where they want?
Just respect your fellow fans. That's all. You can be loud and proud without being a prick.
