On the topic of standing up during games....

Why is this a thread

[shelbypanther]

I only stand in front of the wheelchair section

I also do the Carlton in front of the wheelchair section

People are constantly standing in Jacksonville, but it's because they're getting up to leave early in droves. This shouldn't even be a thing.

I went to Ralph Wilson Stadium last season for a Panthers game, a group of us actually. We were told to sit down by security "excessive standing" as he put it.

LMFAO at "excessive standing". What a damn joke. If there is some old fart or kids behind you, ok I get it. But if you are surrounded by a bunch of bros between the ages of 16-55, it's man-up-stand-up time bitches.

Stand during third down, stand during huge plays as they take shape, stand for big hits, stand for big moments. You don't need to stand any other time. This isn't college.

I'll admit that I stand from time to time, but what's the point? It isn't like the players get extra motivation. I still cheer my ass off, but the team is focused on the play, not how many fans stand.

The worst is when someone forces me to stand during a play because they needed to use the bathroom and couldn't wait the additional 5 seconds to get back to their seats.

It's only fair, not everyone has legs.

stand up defense, sit offense.

Period

You can cheer louder when standing...something to do with you diaphragm not being all compressed and stuff like it is when your sitting...ok I really don't even know what I'm talking about...

but you can still cheer louder when standing, and it's easier to high five everyone around you after a big play.

[Jeremy Igo]

I can't think of why you would stand on offense.

You're right

Exactly. All it takes is a little common sense to determine when to stand and when to sit. The sad part is select few seem to have a limited amount.

I don't mind folks standing on defense, big plays, or even when tensions are high.

But standing up the whole game is something that only inconsiderate, self-entitled douchebags do.

My girlfriend has back issues that do not allow her to stand for extended periods of time. the drive home from games are always tough on her because even the intermittent jumping out of her seat and cheering gives her horrible back spasms later. last year during the New England game, she spent a pretty good chunk of change getting us seats between the goal posts (money that she really did not have nor need to spend). we missed almost the entire first quarter because the five or six people in the row in front of us stood the entire time. I was fuming and finally had to tell them to sit down so that everybody else could also watch the game.

if someone is going to stand the whole game then they should just go and stand down by the rails or in the tunnels. other people have spent their money as well and might not feel like standing the whole game just so they can see over their stupid drunk ass.
