Ahh, here we go again.

This is where the "standers" define their behavior in the stands as the norm or at least the desired state.

Fine. But my point is that if the "standers" are devaluing the experience of those around them who don't agree with their definition of proper fan behavior, then they forfeit the right to ever have n opinion on attendance. They need to keep their mouths shut because they are likely one of the problems.

Party on! No one should ever but any brakes on your good time.

Substitute "sitters" for " standers" and the analysis is equally valid. Question is , should fans sit passively or stand up and cheer for their team .

The "stand and shout" phase of life doesn't last that long. You'd only have 5,000 people in the Dome if you sent everybody else away, and nobody wants that.

The elders were once you, and you will be them someday. It's the circle of orange fandom. I am there because of my father, and my kids are now there because of me. If the elders have to stop coming someday, the circle will be broken. I'd rather have them there than the drunk 4 beers every trip down guy that screams obscenities at them ( yes I've seen that ). If drunk fan guy feels he needs to teach my kids how to act, then I can't bring them. And then the next generation of fan ceases to exist.

Do you want your kids to cheer and support the team or do you want them to be golf fans?

I refuse to bitch about the people that actually SHOW UP to the games in the Dome.

That's a beyond stupid question. What I want is my kids to not learn the word c*nt before they're 10.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Students have free tickets and they can't even get to the game. I'd stop complaining about the most LOYAL fans in the area.

No. The question is do some people have the right to degrade the experiences of others to the degree that they stop coming to games.

And it's whether some people are so concerned about attending the game on their own terms that they can't see anyone else's viewpoint.

The sitters aren't blocking anyone else's view. That's the difference you apparently can't see or understand.

Of course, what would you expect from people that just haven't been told to sit down in their lives.

The word for it is solipcism.

Maybe the standing and cheering and sitting should be choreographed like some Stalinist state sponsored sports event. The scoreboard could tell people when to engage in such and such activities. They could put you in charge of it. What happened to going to a football game being a raucous form of social release ? The word for it is fascism.

Amen! We sit in the wheelchair access section immediately behind the student section. Worst student section in the country. The mass exodus at halftime during winnable games is like the annual migration of the wildebeest, and I do mean wildebeests. I would have thought the promise of free food would appeal to this crowd.

Ahh, now there's the problem.

You actually think a football game is a "raucous from of social relief".

Do you imagine anyone could argue with that?

Yes , it is a substitute or relief valve for sublimated clan/tribal/gang aspirations in the modern psyche , and as such , it realizes its highest value if the "fans" expend the maximum energy of that type.

They'll fit right in with former poster fanfanclubclub.

Neither will be missed.

 

[tipphill]

i would venture that the majority of the loyal consistent fan base are over 4o y/o with a significant percent over 60y/o. personally i am 65y/o. it would be interesting to see an age demographic on season ticket holders and a snapshot of game day ticket buyers age.

 

[CuseOnly]

I think before every game they should show a video of how to properly golf clap and then another of how to best get some noise out of jingling some keys on 3rd down. Both make about as much sense at a football game as sitting to cheer on your team.

Stand up and shout makes a lot more sense to me than Sit down and shout. Marky Mark and The band Steel Dragon would be embarrassed.

They should either stand or sit and cheer for their team. Honestly, you can make as much noise sitting as standing.
