Hope the opener is a blowout....

I found this on PFT:

In response to our rant about the possibility that PSLs will squeeze out of the stadium the blue-collar fans who helped make the game what it is, a fan of the Chiefs has pointed out to us some other evidence of a fundamental change in the manner in which folks are now expected to watch live football.

In a “Chiefs Fan Code of Conduct,” folks attending home games are told that Arrowhead Stadium staff will “proactively intervene” to prevent behaviors such as . . . drum roll, please . . . standing.

We’ve been to enough football games to know that it can be a pain in the arse when the guys in front of you decide to stand up, if for example the road team is facing third down and seven in the fourth quarter of a tie game. But that’s football. The easy answer? Stand up, too. And if you don’t like all of the sitting and standing, then don’t go to a football game (or to a Catholic church — rim shot).

The Chiefs also have set up a text-messaging system that allows fans who might be offended by behaviors like standing to report the situation to the powers-that-be. It provides the non-confrontational types who might be offended by sitting a way to tattle while still maintaining plausible deniability.

We don’t mean to pick on the Chiefs here. For all we know, every other team prohibits standing as well. (We welcome PFT Planet to post links in the comments to any other no-standing policies from other venues.)

And maybe, down the road, it’s just another way to raise money. Fans will be able to stand.

If they’ve purchased a Personal Standing License.

Does anyone know more about this and the details of why the Chiefs don't want ppl standing during the games?

You do know that when Wski Girl gets to 29 that won't work anymore...you'll have to start being her brother instead of her pops.

Some of the fan base that is infesting Arrowhead in the past decade needs to get their head out of their asses.

Doing the wave while out Offense is on the field during critical downs?

That is just moronic.

I am glad someone else is *****ing about this. I am usually very vocal to those in my section about this ignorant decisions to run the wave while on offense. I think they join in just to despite me. Flipping idiots. Man that gets my blood boiling.

They are actually trying to inforce this rule this year by boring the fans into their seats.

yahoo has nothing better to write about. this rule has been in place for years and of all the games i`ve been to i`ve never seen it used.
probably written by the queen himself because he`s getting tired of seeing people stand up and flip him off.
