I'll stand up for critical defensive series in big games, but otherwise prefer to sit
My old season tickets (pre Covid) were 300 level north deck on about the 35 yard line under cover. Best I could do without paying Tyee fees. Folks up there were enthusiastic Dawg fans but not stand the entire game zealots.
Took the fam to the 1st half of Colorado State and got some Section 100 seats (35 yd line) on the cheap on StubHub. Was surprised to see how different the vibe was. All these sports dorks were standing for like 81% of the plays.

I don't really understand why people stand in the lower bowl. If everyone down there sat nobody would have to stand. The few games I've had lower bowl i had the same experience where everyone stands for no identifiable reason other than everybody else is doing it.
Standing for big plays and to cheer a score, etc is good.
Standing for the sake of standing is dumb.

Everybody that wants to sit the entire time has a frumpy significant other. No exceptions.

Spot on my dude.
Look, I can get as rowdy and loud as any Husky Fan when appropriate. I've got Dancing on the Autzen 50 yd line followed by smoking weed with @RaceBannon and talking shit on my resume.
But standing the entire game for Colorado State is some faux tuff guy, sports dork garbage.

Situationally appropriate standing is fine.

In the lower 100s, south side. Feels like this has changed with age demos. Growing up, even when we were a real progrum, I remember very little standing, even in big games. Then the progrum was so sad for a long time there either were enough gaps to make it not necessary and general malaise. Now it feels like any big game is stand the entire game and lesser games on big downs.

you have to stand if you’re in the 100 level. They fucked up the sight lines when they built the thing..

You have to be paying attention to the game though. You see Betty's attention span when she's inhaling that licorice?
I had some huge couple get all bitchy with me just trying to get by them even though as far as I could tell I didn't touch her mountain of candy and shit she had in front of her. I'm sitting here 'sister we're the only 3 people in our row right now and you're like 6 seats from the end. Prepare to be doing this another 50+ times in the next 4 quarters, why are you even here?

I'm erect during most Ducks games.

My personal opinion is I don't like standing, but I also don't think you should complain about it. It's a fucking football game so if it's what your section is doing, just do it. I'm not a fan of those who are standing in a sea of sitters though and random dipshits moving around.
My biggest problem with game seating in recent years is it feels like almost every game someone is in our seats and claims we have the wrong seats even though we've had them for decades and then we prove to them they're ours and the lady who is in the wrong is always super angry about it and makes us feel like we are the assholes, even once we show them the tickets. Cool.
Also, opposing fans are becoming bigger and bigger trolls.

In 2021 I sat a few rows behind our bench because some scared Amazon Level 7 bros didn't want to catch Covid. I haven't sat down there since. I'm glad they're giving the AD money but I don't want to be around those people.

There’s so many fucking TV timeouts, what difference does it make?
Take a seat during the Jardian ad. -

TLDR - wall too low, seats too shallow cause need for standing
Faggy stadium design thread! I'm an upper decker and yeah, sitting mostly with exception of big plays, need for extra lungs stuff. Its science or something. That said the pitch of the seats in the 100 level is shallow, and though the wall from row 1 to field is higher than it used to be (literally the same level) its not great for sight lines. At the old stadium the first 5-7 rows were always empty with the exception of band day and when the jumbotron became a thing and whores in the student section wanted to see themselves on the screen. The few Seahawk games I attend thanks to a friend is basically the same thing. Row 7 behind the bench. Cool being close, but absolutely shitty sightlines for anything down field. To each their own.

DAWGS!! (Fuck you - I stood for all of CSU and Cal Davis!!)
ON YOUR FEET!!!!1!!
During big games, I expect nothing less, but against warm up teams, sit if you like and stand only when something good happens. When The OSU comes calling, everybody better stand and scream on 3rd downs. Your vocal cords should be toast by the end of game. -

I’ll stand for big games because most people are. I don’t mind either. The past two weeks I sat unless it was third down. When I was young I stood no matter who was playing but I was also in section 8 so the visiting fans could eat my ass if they had a problem.

TV timeouts are bad. I remember against CSU we had one after a TD. Then kicked off then got hit with another and it was like 2 minutes before a quarter break. It does give you time to grab a beer or piss though.
In true sell outs it's actually more comfortable to stand because it's so cramped. I remember in the track and moat days if it was truly packed standing was a must because the lower people couldn't see at all if they didn't.

I do think it's important to go with the flow of your section. In this case the first 20 rows of our section were 80% to 100% standers so we just went with it. Would be fine doing a lot of standing for Ohio State or Oregon, but I'm pushing damn near 50 and sometimes I just want to sit down with my cold Messican beer and watch the game. Plus I'm a judgmental snob and I'd like to make fun the adult jersey wearing, shitty game standing, sports dorks!!

lol a 50 year old wearing a letterman jacket that wasn't for 🏈 with a Pacifico/Coors lite would 100% catch some strays from me if I saw it walking around.

Can't be knocking back 6 x 16 OZ IPA's a game. That's a bad hangover.
I only wear a letterman jacket to the big games typically- e.g., CFP or Oregon. Fellow fans love that school spirit.

Wish pup was still alive to respond to this thread.

If you see a slender 6' guy wearing a 2018 Petersen pullover calling you a fag at Ohio State game come over and have a beer with me.
I don't drink Lucille and all that 7% trash at the games and haven't in awhile.

I'll be talking shit to Pup in the afterlife for being a fucking Jack Doog sum' bitch.

the ginger and I stood the entire game in Vegas and Houston. DWAGS!!
-
lol a total of 500 people sat in Vegas, NO, and Houston combined.
TV timeouts are a different story. If you paid for a ticket it's not your job to stand for Ozempic, etc.

This is good example of situational, big game standing.
-
sit in the upper deck in the down low rows at mid field, no problem, people are chill and stand at big game moments and otherwise are cool with the excellent sight lines. In lowest level seats, sight lines ARE an issue so I don't blame people for trying to get a better view.
