Fans should only stand during the big plays like 3rd and longs and goal line stands.  Please sit for most everything else.  Took my elderly father to a game a few years ago when we were in the 100's on the home side.  By the end of the first quarter he could not stand anymore so we sat there staring at everyone's backs the rest of the game.  After that year we relocated our seats to the 200's which most folks like to sit when it's not a big play.

I personally prefer to stand, particularly when on defense. However, I do take a look at the people behind me and if there is someone who is elderly or disabled and cant stand, I will do my best to sit. But if the people in front me me are standing and I cant see, well I will get back up and shrug it off as "I tried". And I agree, if you are someone that prefers to sit, the 100's are not for you. It's unfortunate for those that like to sit, but I dont see that changing anytime soon.

Cool - that's your preference.  But many people would prefer to at least have the choice to stand or sit.  Being forced to stand the whole game is one of the reasons many seats in the 100 level sidelines have opened up in the past several years.  This new COO can talk all he wants about improving the gameday experience but unless he addresses this issue his talk is sort of empty.   

What would you recommend? I understand some people dont like to stand during the game, but then again many people prefer to stand. If I was told I had to sit the entire game, I'd just stay home. The only solution I could think of is to designate certain sections as sitting only. But that would be difficult to regulate. Especially as the lower you get in the LL sections, the harder it is to see over the players on the sidelines. Other than that, I'm not sure what the new COO could do to address this issue. 

Gave up our seats this year as well. My grandfather got them when FedEx opened. Started at the very last row on the upper deck. Made it to row 5 of 139. I'm sure we'll still go to the games, but will probably spend a fraction of what we paid for season tickets.

If you are a season ticket holder and purchased season parking passes, you should have a parking pass for each pre-season game. IF not, you need to call the TO immediately.

Yea, I called..they said they'd call me back. Fortunately only the preseason parking passes were missing.

So do they not give parking passes for pre-season, or is it just me??
