Can't standup at FedEx?

Daseal · 09-12-2006, 01:21 PM

I'm really pissed about one particular aspect last night. I was at the game, sitting up top. Those of you up there know there are two rows right against the edge, then a partition with steps behind that 2nd row. I was sitting in the 2nd row, and the first defensive play of the game I was standing up and cheering my ass off, getting pumped up. The guy behind me after the game said "Hey Buddy, you going to stand up for every play?" and I said "Probably, get used to it."

I sat down on offense, but on defense I stand up and cheer. Eventually the guy behind me started talking shit about kicking my ass, etc. So I said fuck off douchebag, and the people in my row had my back. Long story short, this ass ended up calling security on me for standing up. Really, as long as you don't get snotty with the security, there's nothing they can do if you want to stand up. I politely said that I paid for the tickets and as a fan it's my RIGHT to stand up and make some noise.

I know the same thing happened to Cpayne in preseason. This is ridiculous. The guy behind me strutted saying "Im a season ticket holder." as if I cared. I'm just pissed that there are so many people at the stadium that do nothing to help the team by cheering and just want to sit there.

you should've asked him if he was going to sit down for every play, and then called security

I'm sorry, but there are way too many dumb, wine-drinking idiots at FedEx field. We need more dumb, beer-drinkers who are smart enough to know how to cheer.

Doesn't make any sense to me.

Who wants to sit down at a football game??

He was probably entertaining a client or something ghey like that. I'd rather not see a play and have someone in front of me yelling their nuts off than to call security because the guy won't sit down.

I was just talking about this in another thread because the same thing happened to me and my sister (who was in another section).

I told the guy next to me, who kept screaming at people to sit down, that if I had wanted to make sure no one blocked my view I would have stayed at home and watched on TV. My sister was getting yelled at for standing up BEFORE THE GAME EVEN STARTED!!!!

These people suck and don't deserve to drive up ticket prices for the rest of us real fans.

It's one thing if you're standing the whole time and you're making people miss a Skins TD drive, but when the other team has the ball you should be standing!
This is just one of the many reasons that my dad refuses to go to Skins games anymore, and he used to love them in person.

People at RFK knew how to cheer, they were smart fans. Now we have people who think they are at the opera. Crazy.

I'm surprised some idiot didn't burn a flag at the game. Who needs rights where they're wrong?

gortiz · 09-12-2006, 02:40 PM

screw that guy, that really sucks, on top of losing the damn thing. I have had some issues with that, and I only get up during a 3rd down for the defense.

I heard he crowd was really not in to it? is that the case.

That was the best possible response.

You couldnt see the field while sitting in your seats? Your shouting and cheering can't be heard while sitting and not blocking other's view? I dont think wanting to see the game and not the guy in front of you's back is an unreasonable request, especially with how much the tickets cost.

Don't tell me you're advocating for sitting down and behaving at a football game.

I'm advocating cheering like hell without blocking others view of the action.

Ahh, you should have called me! I was thoroughly boozed up and almost got into a real one with an Eagles fan in the bathroom.
