No standing at Chiefs games

This can't be true. If it is it's a sad sad day at Arrowhead stadium.

Fans are asked to treat Chiefs games like bowling matches - Shutdown Corner... - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Excellent, I hope their next step is to ban yelling/screaming/being loud and institute a "golf clap" policy so we can all behave like civilized people.

That's funny because all you ever here is how Arrowhead is the closest thing in the NFL to a college atmosphere.

It is. I've been there. Unbelievable experience.

Banning standing completely is ridiculous, but if someone was standing during the whole game that would be super annoying. In all my experiences at NFL games the issue of people standing has never been a problem.

This sounds like one of those unenforced rules only to be used when faced with an extreme situation so they can fairly say "This is the rule".

That is what we got here. If there is no rule, they cant say anything to drunks who stand up the whole game when everyone else in the section is sitting down. Sometimes people do sit, and sometimes there are guys that don't have any manners or respect that have to be dealt with.

GoSkins -- If you want to sit down, watch the game at home. My job while Im there is to stand up and cheer for my defense. I'll stand up all game if the section is doing it, or Ill sit down for offense. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, blocking the view of a child/handicapped/etc, I'll sit down without a word, but if you can stand and don't want to, stay home. Football is supposed to be fun for the fans.

I agree 110%.

Stay home and quit your bitchin'

It's a football game for crying out loud.

I'm confused by how standing up makes you louder somehow. If there was a 'no yelling rule' obviously that would decrease volume, but you can make the same noise sitting or standing.

The point is that if you want to sit down and enjoy the game w/o making noise or really cheering, than stay at home.

When you're standing you're more into it, more excited, and more louder..............at least I think so.

Look, I'm the first one on my feet with everyone else, but you guys have got to have seen the few "exception to the rules" fans that just stand to be in everyones way, when no one else is standing (in the whole section), throw their beer around, and just act like a$$holes. I've also seen those guys get their a$$ kicked for doing it. I think that this rule is for them. Not the guys standing up rooting on their team with everyone else.

And yes, I'm talking about those guys that don't give a flying F about the handicapped, children, elderly, or anyone else. They just think that they bought a ticket so they can stand, sit, or whatever... anytime without reservation to anything...screw anyone else.

If you guys still disagree with the fact that a rule HAS TO be in place to stop people like that, then I guess you are just going to have to be frustrated with NFL stadium rules.

Personally, I stand for AT LEAST 80% of the game, party, scream, harass the other teams fans, and have a great time. Don't be self righteous and say I should stay home if I don't like it. SCREW YOU!!!! If everyone stood all the time, I would too! That is not the point. YOU have obviously missed the point.

And I like the idea that there may be a way to text someone if some jerkoff wants to stand just to stand. I have the band behind my seats and those guys need to sit sometimes. I have enough courtesy to sit so they can see, when the time is appropriate. If guys in front of me don't care, about that, and I can't see...yeah, it is irritating.
