Well fed-ex will still be full because nobody really shows any passion when i there.
I can make just as much noise as you can sitting down but I guess I have to stand to show passion.

firstdown -- I know they probably won't for a lot of the small things, but I hate that it's open to that if the security staff wants to.
I think the basic message is don't get out of hand and be a jerk. If you don't do that you should have nothing to worry about.
As for banning standing at a game I don't see how that could or would ever happen. How would they even go about trying to enforce that??

Matty, it's a reality in a lot of stadiums now. And like the Chiefs, setup a text messaging system where you can tattle. Although that can be easily abused, still. They need to setup a "fan" section, then throw the families a bone and give them a tiny section of the upper deck. Wanna take your kids, go there. Otherwise, let the rest of us enjoy the game.
So if you want to take your kids you should be sequestered to a tiny section in the upper deck?
Anyone else see a problem here? Isn't it possible to enjoy the game without being an ass or needing a R rated surrounding?

My issue is standing. I like to stand at games. Honestly, most of the time I don't even bother drinking at sporting events. I stand on defense, sit on offense. I feel nothing wrong with that. If there is someone that's really elderly or handicapped, I'm not going to be an ass. But sometimes I hop up out of habit.
But there's nothing about standing in this code of conduct so what's the big deal? They're talking about unruly behavior.

I'd say that most of the things on the list are things that security allready looks for when walking around. I under standing lking to stand and I could stand the entire game if thats what most people would do but thats just not the case. I do jump up for big plays and other times but I try not to block other peoples views. Maybe they should have a tiny section in the upper deck for people who want to stand the entire game.

i received 2 infraction probation things from the skins last year, both heart breaking losses to the bills and giants. i am going to make a real effort to be able to control my complete hatred of opposing fans after an emotionally invested last second loss.
that being said i will still stand up on most defensive plays and if you tell me to sit on a 3rd down stand i will make you my 3rd infraction.
instead of cursing opposing fans tell them things like "your mommas got 2 left feet" or if they are fat and wearing a romo jersey "what'd you do, eat romo and steal his jersey?"
either way, slowly the self appointed "stadium warriors" will be making way for middle-class financially secure families.
go skins!
