Standing
Sitting in section 154 in the end zone was a great team win, although a disappointing location, or should I say standing. Apparently, fans who buy seats there do not use them during the entire game. I have had 3 total knee replacements and a recent hip replacement, so standing all the time was not possible for me. Even though we politely asked those in front of us to sit down, they would not. If everyone in the section would have been seated, all the fans could have seen the game. I had to strain my neck just to see the plays on the big screen. I felt like the $360.00+ I paid for the seats was money down the drain. It seemed like the practice of standing for the whole game is unique to the end zone, at least in section 154 where we were seated.
