It's a rule against "Standing and possibly obstructing someone else's view", be it standing, blocking with arms, etc.

It says standing and/or obstructing, not standing and obstructing. Logically this means all you have to do is to stand to be in violation. It's also pretty hard to stand without obstructing somebody's view. There are always those people who really do want to sit for 99% of the game.

I'm a stander, I think more people should try it. If they want to make a rule about standing, it should be no LATE standing, meaning the guy who waits to leap to his feet until the ball is in the air over and over. That can get old. If he would have stood prior to the play, I would be happy to stand as well and we'd all get to see the play without spilling our beers.

Well, I think Chiefs Front Office should clarify this rule because I can't imagine that they want their fans to be glued to their seat when they've got an offense in 3rd and long.

Unnecessary standing and obstruction, I can totally understand. But without standing and cheering in critical situations, wouldn't the "home field advantage" be nullified?
