Is it excessive?  Depends.
 
I'll use my own experiences...last year I went to a couple Bills games.  I'm not a Bills fan, really didn't care about the outcome but just wanted to watch and enjoy the game.  One game I sat in the upper level along the sideline...older crowd, everyone sat for the most part, but got up after TD's and some of the more excitable fans jumped out of excitement during...exciting plays!  The fans were into the game in that section, but more interested in discussing the plays, players, coaching moves, etc. than getting chants going and going nuts.  However, they got up and were rowdy when it made sense to do so.  As a nonfan, I went with the flow of those around me who were regulars and fans.
 
Another game, I was in the lower level behind the end zone and once we got there, we realized that section stands the entire game.  Chanting, banging on the bleacher backs in front of them, basically going nuts the entire game.  Given that I'm not even a Bills fan, I would've rather just sat and watched, but I would've been extremely out of line if I tried to get people to "sit down so I can see".  I stood and went nuts too.  Again, going with the flow rather than being a moron and arguing about something ridiculous.  Made the game more enjoyable.
 
Going to a football game with the expectation of others around you being quiet and sitting down all game is just not reasonable. 
 
And yes, I'll be happy to explain why I'm doing what I'm doing at Cuse games to the clueless ones as long as they areactually  interested in learning how to act and not in arguing and being a disagreeable moron.
