Um Standing? ok. Wine and Cheesers rejoice.

Pretty much now that you see better on TV anyway. I have no reason to go to games anymore with these types of lame ass rules.

Why do people who are offended by everything EVER leave the house?

Does EVERYTHING have to be corporate and lame?

NO standing? Don't boo either while you're at it. Or cheer, because I might not be able to hear my fucking cell phone as I'm expecting my buddy to call so I can wave at them.

Maybe they're trying too hard to not be like a certain division rival of theirs. :haha:

Seriously though, I don't think this is going to be enforced to the letter--just to cover all ground legally.

meh, you have to compete to be a rival. :D

this is the effect of personal seat licenses. I already prefer being at home given the sad sack state of my team this just makes it more corporate. The less fun it is (ie Corporate) the less people are going to care to go.

Oh sure you'll have clients and "families" but whatever.

Lame ass atmosphere. a bunch of moms whining about language and losers who can't stand up.

They basically just have this same "standing" rule at University of Phoenix stadium, it just isn't written down. Ushers were cracking down hard last year for "excessive standing." It's a complete joke! Stay at home if you want to sit down the whole game.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I used to usher events in college and had some woman complain she couldn't see at a concert cause two girls were standing and dancing. I informed the woman I could re-seat her in the upper deck if she preferred.

Im sure if we complain enough about people smoking in bars, it will be outlawed.

and no one will ever take it any further and ban other things that people like to do at places.

there's no reason to stand for every second of a four-hour football game, but i don't see how one can enforce a standing rule.

aren't these pretty much already rules? in layman terms:

1 don't be an asshole
2 don't get overly intoxicated
3 don't smoke in the stands
4 don't fight
5 don't wear clothes or bring signs that say "fuck" or "cunt" or any other word like those
6 don't go apeshit and risk people's necks (throwing snowballs, for instance)
7 don't harass people
8 don't throw shit on the field
9 listen to what staff/security tell you
10 don't scalp
11 sit in your designated seat
12 don't destroy property

i don't understand: these aren't already rules in every stadium?

i mean, they're normal, followable rules. i don't get it. the standing rule is the only one i take issue with. the rest seem common sense.

you can't smoke inside any public building in ohio. not even at your place of work, in a designated smoking area. if it's inside, you can't do it

yeah but I like the way you wrote it better. In any case courtesy is important but at the same time... honestly man I'm telling you no one wants the Turner Field atmosphere especially in football. Well unless you're all about bringing your 6 year old to games with a 4 second attention span I guess.

This Code of Conduct thing simply means they are going to enforce it more.

standing up and cheering during a defensive drive is a part of creating the homefield advantage

i go to all the bills games. to me, it seems that the people who stand the entire game and are so drunk, they are the ones waving to their friends, and not watching the game. They get up every drive to get a beer or go to the bathroom. and the whole row has to get up and let them out and let them back in.

I don't think the rule is to say 'sit the entire game', it's saying, let other people watch. if eveyrone stands up then stand up.

But that's basically already included in the ticket which is a license, they can throw you out already or tell you to sit down. Basically this is more than window dressing. To me it means they are going to strictly control the goings on and that means essentially taking the fan out of the game... they want quiet demure voyeurs.
