Sit down on offense, stand up on defense. It is that simple.

[Mojo Rising]

I attend 1 - 4 games a year at Arrowhead in section 102, row 14. Fans who have seats around us have had them for a long time and are the intelligent fans that have helped earned the good rep for being smart fans around the NFL.

The row in front of us is dedicated to some of the visitors allotment of lower bowl seats. Early in the game the guy in front of me was standing when no one around was standing. It started to get annoying.

A slight rumble started of people who knew that we needed to start to tell this person to sit down. We started to yell at the guy but we noticed that others were staring to stand while we were on offense.

I actually got the guy to sit down but then almost the whole stadium between the 30's in the lower 15 rows was standing. My Dad pointed out that it was even going on on the other side of the stadium (Chiefs Sideline.)

These were not Viking fans but Chiefs fans and they were all over the stadium standing when we had the ball on offense (not like there's a lot to see.)

Let us start a grass roots educational effort to inform fans that we stand and yell on defense and sit and shut up on offense. Special teams doen't matter so let the rookies waste their voices on kick-offs.

[luv]

We sit in 122, row 15. We've never really had the "rule" about when to/not to stand during the game. There are some games when we've had to stand for the majority of the game. Generally, it's how you describe it, but not always. You got something against standing up? :p

[dtebbe]

Sounds like you had a bad case of GVS today.

[Buck]

IMO, everybody should be standing every play.

[Mojo Rising]

I have been sitting in those seats since '86 and it has always been that way. There might be a lingering stand after a good offensive play but not constant stand during offensive drives.

It seemed to me like the Arrowhead fans were in the LJ rust shake off mode.

Standing leads to yelling. We do not make noise while on offense. We are not in Oakland.

[Spott]

Every time that I've sat in the lower level for a Chiefs game, everyone has stood up the entire time.

[Extra Point]

Some people were standing every play in preseason. Annoying. Sit on offense, stand on defense, I can dig that during season play.

They're called seats , but they're located in the stands.

[wutamess]

Stop your fuggin crying.
Say something or shuddup about it.

I hate it when people bitch about something without doing something about it.

[Mojo Rising]

IMO, everybody should be standing every play.

I'll be at your uneducated stadium next week. When fans don't maximize the home field advantage it shows up on the field.

The players also have a say in the outcome though...

General NFL fan rule.

Your team on offense - sit so the QB can audible and the WR's and OT's can hear the signals.

Your team on D - be as loud as you can so you prevent audibles and the lineman from hearing the QB's signals.

Pretty basic to me. Standing causes everyone to in the stadium to yell and then the pack mentality takes over and people start yelling.

I stand up every play, yet I'm awfully quiet when we have the ball.

I did yell down in front and got the 1/2 a section in front of me to sit down.

As I said in the post though the fans across the field from us (Chiefs side) were also standing.

Do you think we should stand and make noise when we are on offense? Why is this crying?

Home field advantage is that 70k fans are quiet when your team is on offense. Then, they are loud on defense.

I don't have to go into the advantages involved.

I mean sometimes you have to stand up to see the action on the field...we have 2 sets of tickets and one of the sets has a somewhat obstructed view and you cant see if you aren't standing up...I can understand where that fellow was coming from.

However, everyone knows to shut up when you are on offense. I do agree with you that we have some dumb fans. I hate it, every game they always get loud right when we are going into scoring position.

[wutamess]

CP wanted Arrowhead to be like a college atmosphere.
What do you think they do in college games (THE ENTIRE GAME)?

The "elders" are the one's usually crying about stander because...
1. They're the Bronco fan type: Too corporate to be amongst a pack of wolves and want to follow a certain set of guidelines (while taking away the college atmosphere).

2. The fat/lazy guy: The guy that is pissed that anyone is standing ever because his fat ass wants to sit the entire game.

If you saw the other side doing the same exact thing... wouldn't it be an indicator that the ENTIRE CROWD must've been pumped and rowdy but you wanted YOUR side to be the Bronco fan side?

[Mojo Rising]

The more you hold your tickets the more you are going to want to educate the new fans to the NFL that there is an advantage for the offense to be able to hear.

The Chiefs organization was very proud to display signs that we are the loudest stadium in the NFL (or something to that effect.)

That is when we are on D.

On O we sit, rest our pipes, drink and watch our current O sputter. Other years they prosper. We sat 1st down and sit again so we can sustain our drive.

I dont know if you guys remember, but back in the year when the Raiders went to the Super Bowl, you guys played them Week 17.

The game was in Oakland and it was pouring down rain, and all of their fans were at their seats standing the whole time...

Thats exactly how it should be.

Thats because your stadium is not the best (to put it lighlt it s***s)

When I get home I'll post some pics that are as good as CBS's. There are no bad sight lines in Arrowhead. A view was not an issue. As stated in the post it was the lower bowl between the 20's.

I was at the Indy game too. 102 is on the sunny side and I was in a PH jersey the whole game. In Jan. Crazy weather.

I sat during the O and yelled during the D. I always come home horse because I yell on every D play. It has nothing to do with being lazy. Everything to do with standing and yelling while we're on D.

What is your reason for standing while we're on O?

You're modelling yourself after Raider fans?

I was at a Raider game in Oakland vs. the Chiefs with Big Daddy and got my whole section to chant Ray - durrs in the 4th 1/4 with less than a minute to go while they were driving to win the game.

Tim Brown was tackled at the 1. Still to this day no one thanks me for the W.

Usually because the people in front of us are. The trickle up effect.
I'd love to sit during O but if the people in front of us are standing I don't mind getting up instead of asking him to sit down.

I'd rather them enjoy their game as I used to come there every week.
Also, if it's one guy RIGHT in front of me... I would probably say something but if it's a pair of friends that are just taking it all in then... I'm all for it. Lets all stand.

[Mojo Rising]

So I can see the game...And I could see it if everyone sat down, but I'd rather have everyone standing up.

You have never been to Arrowhead. When the anouncers call games they usually compliment Chiefs fans on their understanding of the game.

You have asked about the stand up thing a couple times so I'll explain it.

When people stand up they are more likely to yell. When you are on offense you don't want crowd noise.

I have been going to games for 31 years now.

Here's how the crescendo works... (there wasn't always a crescendo.)

1st and 10 while home team on D. People stand and yell.. The longer the distance and deeper the down count goes the louder the yells.

In the 1st 1/4 when the Minn O ran the ball down our throat the crowd became quiter.

Fans have even been known to do a tommahawk chop and beat on the back of seats.

I understand your confusion.

Your stadium was known as Arrowhead West until a couple of years ago. I was at the game when endeldt decided to go head to head with the grill of a drunk driver a few years back.

When there were more Chief fans than Charger fans at your stadium you probably dont know when to sit and stand.

Please see my earlier posts for the rules.

37 is not old!!!!!

[Raiderhater58]

I refuse to sit anywhere near the lower level in between the 30's, its like Im at a weddding down there, its more like "whos gonna see me at the Chiefs game" I come to watch football and have a good time rooting my team to victory, not to be seen or as a Social status.


If I want to stand I will stand, period. If Im in front of you and I want to stand YOU have 2 options, A) Stand or B) stay seated and STFU, this aint the Opera. The only exceptions to this rule are little kids and old women.

And no standing doesnt mean yelling while we're on Offense.


That being said I dont stand the entire game, but if I want to....:)

You sound like one of those Bud Light Real Men of Genius ads.

I also applaud your selfesh reasoning. If you are behind me you will stand when I stand...

For those that yell for th 15 - 10 seconds before the opposing QB calls his signals like I do, I say

STFU

I am pretty surprised at the replies. Chiefs fans are actually supporting standing and yelling during offensive plays.

I was expecting some sort of shock that fans would stand and yell while we had the ball.


I live in SF and brag about 2 things.

1. BBQ (Haywards, Smokestack, OK Joes.)
2. Chief fan intelligence

I love to point out that Raider fans don't know when to be loud and stand up.


I guess all those years of going to games and standing up I learned 1 thing.

YOU CAN NOT STAND UP AT A NFL GAME AND BE QUIET.

[Raiderhater58]

"Heres to you Mr. Cranky Sit Down I cant See guy"

[Raiderhater58]

am I missing something here? I see support for standing but not yelling while on O, but yet you keep throwing in the yelling part. Maybe you should start going to 9er games... I hear they are more the Wine and Cheese crowd youre looking for.

No, I'm in the lower level. I don't pay much attention to what goes on above me.

I have been to games where I've stood at least 3/4 of the time, regardless of who was on the field. Why? Because I wanted to see what was going on, NOT to yell. You are being very judgemental over something VERY petty.

When I was a kid I sold Handerchiefs to the few tailgetares that were at the stadium (from WHB.) I have been going to Chiefs games since I was very young.

I now live in SF but my Dad keeps his season tickets.

When I go to a game it takes hours to fly back and attend. When I dont there is Sunday Ticket.

In CA i criticize "party fouls" when I attend events.

What is a party foul you ask?

I have met others CP people like BD, Logical, 2 Bike Mike, Adam, and a bunch of others who are not on the board any longer.

[Redcoats58]

I would imagine that anyone that buys a ticket to any sporting event has a right to stand if they want to cheer on their team. We need less hall monitors. I understand the being quite on offense and loud on defense, but I've been to some Chiefs games and if I'm pumped up to watch the game and I wanna stand, that's just what I'll do.

[HonestChieffan]

Yesterday was bad for a couple reasons. Sec 102 Had way more Purple than it should have telling me that we had a big bunch of Season tick holders who had seen enough of Hermball.

We also had Chief fans who had scored those good seats from the usual season ticket holders. These are "stand when no one else is standing guy"; Spill beer on the Girlfriend/wife/sister sitting next to me when I scream "He should have had that!" guy; and
"this is my only game to ever go to so I got hammered in the parking lot on Old Mil Lite guy".

The ticket holder who owns the seat in front of me is gonna get an earfull from the old dude three seats down next gam for sure. Thank goodness the dilwad he sold to wont be back.

No one is yelling while we are on offense. If they do it more than once I will say something to them. But standing to watch the offense? Not worth getting upset over.

[wutamess]

Uh.... What?? Dude seriously go to bed.

Indy playoff game and I think Denver game last year (in the rain) we stood the entire game and the noise level was as if we were standing & sitting the entire game.

Is there really a problem yelling at the offense? God forbid they get confused and actually throw the ball downfield by mistake.

Emma: [softly] I'm not policeman, I'm princess.
Detective John Kimble: TAKE IT BACK!
Emma: [miserable] All right.


Except instead of a policeman and a princess it is someone screaming that they are a real fan because they sold hankies to tailgaters or some such crap and that they are right that it is blasphemous to stand up while your team is on O.

I don't know why, but this thread reminds me of this from Kindergarten Cop:

Detective John Kimble: Emma, take your toy back to the carpet and sit down.
Emma: I'm not a policeman, I'm a princess!
Detective John Kimble: Take your toy back to the carpet!
Emma: [softly] I'm not policeman, I'm princess.
Detective John Kimble: TAKE IT BACK!
Emma: [miserable] All right.

Shhh, you should be sitting down.

Yesterday was bad for a couple reasons. Sec 102 Had way more Purple than it should have telling me that we had a big bunch of Season tick holders who had seen enough of Hermball.

We also had Chief fans who had scored those good seats from the usual season ticket holders. These are "stand when no one else is standing guy"; Spill beer on the Girlfriend/wife/sister sitting next to me when I scream "He should have had that!" guy; and
"this is my only game to ever go to so I got hammered in the parking lot on Old Mil Lite guy".

The ticket holder who owns the seat in front of me is gonna get an earfull from the old dude three seats down next gam for sure. Thank goodness the dilwad he sold to wont be back.

I don't think it was limited to 102. The whole lower section was standing on O.

When at the game act like PH when he used score a TD...like you,ve been here before.

Also what was up with the 2 beach balls in the 1st 1/4?

Funny this has come up. On what wound-up being the game winning drive, I thought it came across on TV as insanely loud. But I just attributed it to the TV broadcast, Fox, whatever. No way Arrowhead was loud on the most important offensive drive of the game!

Apparently, there's a whole new generation of people that don't know about the sitting/standing rule. Now, I feel old. There were even references in Hard Knocks about how the Arrowhead crowd is some of the most intelligent, know when to be loud, and when to be quiet. So much for that...

If that was the point after the time out, a couple of sections in the upper deck were trying to get the wave started while the TO was in but the chiefs were on offense. Luckily they came to there senses and quit it after the play was over. :shake:

I don't remember it getting loud on that drive until people noticed Bowe going long. Once the ball was in the air, the noise level went up.
