No standing at Chiefs games?

There's a bit of a buzz on the Internet right now about the Chiefs' "Fan Code of Conduct," which is posted on the team's website. Specifically, one policy states that the Arrowhead Stadium staff will proactively intervene with fans who are "standing and/or obstructing the view of other fans."
Hmmm. No standing during a football game? Ever? Sit down, please!Is that even possible? (Well, maybe it is, considering how dull the Chiefs offense was last season.)
But let's take the policy for the spirit it was intended: There are appropriate times to stand, or even remain standing. I'll give you a hint: Goal-line situations, fourth-and-1, etc. Stand at those times. But you don't stand the entire game just to be a nuisance, blocking the view of the fans behind you.

Still, the vague wording of the Chiefs' policy did lead to a pretty good line from one of best NFL websites, www.profootballtalk.com, which wrote, "...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 (PSL)."
