Quote:If you go to a concert it's general admission. That gives you access to a space where you stand and dance and scream your head off. Unless you go to a concert with seats. Then if you stand and scream your head off during a time when most everybody else in the place is sitting because it's not warranted, you're asked to sit down or leave. No matter what way you slice it, in an NFL stadium, someone's right to either stand or sit is going to be violated. Since the NFL decided to cater to the fans who prefer to sit for parts of the game by putting chairs and wifi and cup holders in stadiums, they are going to side with the fans who DON'T want to stand for 3 hours straight to watch a football game.

Coming from someone who's been to more concerts than I can count, no most are NOT general admission. SOME, have a general admission section. No, general admission isn't there to serve as the designated area for purposes of standing and dancing etc. If you have been to a lot of concerts you would know there is less room in GA than in designated seating and it is for folks who want to be as close to the band/artist as possible. You would also be aware that it is near Impossible to dance around or move about in GA, as you are packed together like sardines. Out of the hundreds of concerts I've been to, consisting of a variety if genres, most at least 3 hours plus, almost everyone stands the entire time and some dance, scream etc, wait for it......IN THEIR ACTUAL SEATS. Never, and I repeat, NEVER, have I nor anyone I know, ever been approached and asked to sit, nor been told that by expressing ourselves with our chosen free will, that we were in "violation" of a thing. As far as "it's not warranted" because "everybody else" is sitting, well apparently that isn't true or we wouldn't be having this discussion. In addition, what is and isn't warranted based solely on how one chooses to use his or her own body, being told to sit or stand isn't up for anyone else to decide. Heck, maybe I was Guy Whimper's only fan, or had a crush on him and wanted to stand every down he was on the field. Again, my prerogative. Or hey, perhaps I just have a bad back from the invasive spine surgery I had and it is MORE COMFORTABLE to simply stand. You decide what's warranted, since you're prohibiting my body to do so for me.
