Everyone says go over to the student section, that's not an option. What happens when the student section is full? What is going to happen when all those students grad. and start getting there seats in the donor sections, everyone is going to start standing. Its a problem with people that are donors and weren't students when we had football, they have no idea on what goes on at college football games.Since FSU has bench seating, standing on 'seats' doesn't have the same safety issues as it does at RayJay.

Everyone has the right to enjoy the game the way they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBC does not sell the shirts from last year but they were great shirts b/c we didn't have to respond to anyone. I get yelled at all the time at Bucs games for standing up but I am just so used to standing for an entire football game that I want to stand at the key moments in the game. Everyone has the right to stand and yell and sadly there are other open seats probably just down the row so those who want to sit can move and ind a seat with a better sightline.

I think there's some stuff being blown way out of proportion here.I went to games at Doak many moons ago and did not stand on my seat the whole time and neither did those around me.

He got up during a good play and continued to stand for a while longer. He would have eventually sat down on his own without being told. I think his major beef was the way the guy said it. He wasn't exactly polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what "problem" you're refering to but if you think everyone will be standing all the time at our OCS you are in for a shock ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
