They Dome Nazi's are still out in force. Politically correct cheering only is acceptable. Don't stand or encourage others to cheer or you will be escorted out of the game. I was told I had too much enthusiasm. When I asked why I was being targeted they only said the dome is a private business and they can choose to pull anyone out that they want. Nice. It is time to see if I can sit over by the student section. The living dead are thriving at the dome. I am really growing tired of their B.S.

SD- come sit in the family secion with me...talk about passionate people that want to cheer and stand. The key is to have a son playing I guess. ;)

I am depressed about most, I really mean most fans at the dome. They are sorry bunch of unemotional observers. Dead, dead, dead. How can you actually sit and not even clap your hands at a good play or provide encouragement for a defensive stop on 3rd down. Worse than pathetic. The majority at the dome are there to be entertained, not participate as fans. I want my money back. Why should i waste my time and money to drive 250 plus miles just to get pulled out of the game for being "too enthusiastic". Sir, you have to stop turning around asking others to get up and cheer.! I was told to cooperate or I would be ejected from the game.

I've been a supporter of the Dome staff for almost 15 years. I've been a fan of Bison football for as many years as I could walk. Over the years, I've made it a point to never be a "vulgar" fan (however, Lord knows I've muttered "bullshXt" on more than one occasion for a bad call). I see no problem with being "loud", "witty" and a "rabid" fan. If an opposing offensive lineman comes into your house with a jersey that's two sizes too small...he's going to hear it. If your offensive line coach wears a tight underarmor shirt and has man boobs bigger than most of the girls at the Northern, he's going to hear about it...

After the actions of dome security last night, and their reasons for getting 5 members of the FPD to forcefully remove me (along with 4-5 members of dome security) from the dome during the 3rd quarter... I am seriously considering requesting a full refund for the season ticket portion of my Team Maker membership.

The day a member of the opposing team can approach the staff and tell lies to have a fan removed from the game (and not even feel the need to get the facts about the story) has come...

My unwavering support of the dome staff is gone. If all of NDSU's games were televised, you would probably never see me at a home game again.

This entire post is the reason I sit in the student section. The only time the dome has come close to feeling like a real college football game was last year at the SDSU game. For cyring out loud grandma and grandpa...take a couple extra aspirin for the arthritis and at least clap during third downs.

I did my part...my throat hurts.

As for the dome nazi crap. :eeek: :smh: :( :smh: :eeek:

In my discussion with the idiot staff and security people I told them I was tired of being harassed just because I am one of the more active people in the area where I sit. All it takes is one fan who feels guilty about sitting on their butts and who is "offended" by fact that we are changing some people over to get involved in the game (still way too few). All this was being done without any swearing or vulgarities and totally PC. Then, one fan a few rows behind me tells me to turn around, sit down and shut up. When I tell then I won't they go to the dome staff and complain. I had a bunch of people way above me in the stands giving me the thumbs up and recognizing I was making a diiference. The problem arises when the staff just takes the word of the complainer. Why don't they first go to the row and watch what is going on to see if there is unacceptable behavior? Seems a lost cause anymore.
NOTE: I did the same thing in the Metrodome last year during the Gopher game and had no issues, almost 100% of those around me smiled gave positive reinforcement. I mean they thought is was great that I was getting the fans up. The Fargodome is another story!

The dome Nazi's win. I am so disgusted and tired of how that place is run. The real problem is the majority of the fans up in Fargo. Holy crap are they naturally that inactive or is it a learned behavior? I am not talking about the over 60 bunch folks. There were hundreds around me from 5 to 55 who were healthy and sat there looking like deer in the headlights. With fans like that why doesn't teammakers just run more fundraisers and screw selling season tickets. These fans are worthless at the game.

The dome nazi between sections 8 and 9 deserves special mention here as well. Telling a group of 15-20 20-something rabid fans in the "ThunderZone" to sit down is pathetic. And he stood there and glared at them for a good five minutes afterwards, as if daring them to do something else. Several in my section told him to just hang it up. What an a-hole.

So what are WE going to do to change things? I mean it is getting to a point where maybe it is best that I just watch what games I can from the internet and TV. No more season tickets. Gene Taylor and Craig Bohl are not making enough of a difference and Pat Simmers is only interested in keeping things mellow so the average teammaker is happy (BTW, the average teammaker in the teammaker sections at the dome is a type of fan that only stands when instructed by the announcer). I am tired of writing letters and talking to them.
Is there something in the drinking water around Fargo-Moorhead? Maybe that would explain all the apathetic behavior by thousands in the stands?

Why don't you just leave the section you are in, don't sit with the teammakers. Try the endzone, or the family section, I have never had anyone complain to me while sitting in the endzone. Have you guys also ever brought your complaints up to Gene Taylor or anyone else, maybe they don't even know how the dome security staff is being run.

Yes, I have talked with Taylor several times. He even called me at work down in Sioux Falls to get my feedback. I also have talked to Simmers, but he is a salesman, not big on having a rowdy crowd. Bohl, Taylor and Simmers have received and responded to my e-mails. They want an involved crowd, but apparently they have no power over the dome nazi's.

How about the boss of the dome security? I do agree 100% with what your saying, they hire idiots to run security. Most of them angry people on a power trip.

Do a google search on Fan heckling and you will read about all sorts of fans in all sorts of different sporting venues that have been tossed from games (golf, MLB, etc). Sportsmanship extends to Fans as well. If a player on the field heckles the opposing team player, they get an unsportsmanlike penalty/foul for taunting. The same can be said for fans, except for that fans get tossed from the game. Its not a right to be there. Its a privilege. The rules are stated before the game on the PA. The dome staff isn't going to change because they are enforcing the NCAA "Good Sportsmanship" rules. Sometimes we have to look in our own mirror to change rather than pointing the finger elsewhere. Just my two cents. Sorry if it offends anyone.

If someone tells you to sit down because they want to see the game and its hard to stand, respect that. Last I checked, standing wasn't necessary to be able to cheer. Somehow things have to change and both sides have to compromise (i.e. meet in the middle).

After reading many of the posts here I have some comments and a suggestion.
It seems that most of the problems are fans dont want to be told how to enjoy their game experience.
This includes those that stand and those that SIT.
If you like to stand more than most ,dont keep turning around and bothering those that dont. They are enjoying the game the way they want to and it doesnt make them any less of a fan. They paid there money just like you did. Leave them alone and there WILL be fewer problems.
In the section I sat in the fans stood when the situation was appropriate and it was very enjoyable.

I understand what you are trying to say 56BISON, but it is not that easy to make things work out. For instance, what do you deem as "appropriate" times to stand and cheer? 3rd and 4th downs only? What about all downs before the end of the halves in a close game?

The very fact that this is an issue makes me sick. Do other stadiums have this problem?

Home field advantage isn't much of an edge if the fans are sleeping.

From what I saw yesterday, our defense is going to need our help.

When the players are raising their arms, wanting noise, wanting energy, wanting support...begging in fact...get off your ass and make some noise. Simple as that.

I know at the Plano West game us students were standing and making noise the whole game. The only time they got mad at us is when some people chanted BS (and rightfully so) The rent-a-cops they hire for security think because they have a uniform on they have power. Has any of the Living Dead ever watched a Texas A&M game? Everyone stands through the whole game and halftime. People always complain about the Bison fans not making noise but if they do they are thrown out. What is GT's and Bohl's email address? Maybe if every single member of Bisonville e-mails them they will change.

Part of the problem was that the Bison's performance was horrible this week. For the most part, there was very little to get excited about. Not all fans are like those of us that post on Bisonville. It was one of those games that only the diehards were going to be loud and proud.

Hopefully, we can all have a "do over" and try this again next week. Hopefully the Bison will play better and give the average fan more to cheer about.

As far as that sceinario one cant have SET rules. No. But where I sat YOUNG as well as OLD knew when to stand and cheer. There are also times when setting and cheering is appropriate.

But the jest of my original post is---be respectful of others. If they dont want to cheer like you do leave them alone. If you leave them alone you wont have any problems. It really is pretty simple. PL

You can find all their emails on GoBison.com- 'Inside Athletics'-'Directory' will get you all the administration, and the coaches link on the football page will get you the coaches bios and emails if you click them.


Someone should use the 'Ask the coach' link on GoBison.com and submit why he asks for everyone to make noise in the intro, but then you get kicked out when you do. That would be a great quesiton for Phil Hansen to ask next week on the Craig Bohl show. :nod:

Okay, let's all take a deep breath and look at this rationally:

1. Why is tailgaiting only allowed in one parking lot? Why not expand to at least two lots? Tailgaiting helps lead to a party atmosphere at the game. I know that from being a Vikings season ticket holder. The atmosphere at the Dome has taken a serious hit by the lack of Tail Gaiting areas. Also part of the reason I dropped my tickets this year.

2. Why can't the Dome serve beer at an NDSU game? The Gopher's do it. That also would clearly help. Is this a state regulation or an NDSU decision?

3. NDSU needs to keep getting games on TV. Also, state-wide TV not good enough. They need to be on FSN and generate more of a Minnesota following as ND does not have enough population. Also allows us alumni outside of Fargo to keep more connected with the team. It will lead to more sell outs.

4. #3 leads to more sell-outs with more excitement in the team. #1 and #2 can also help.

5. Why not have one rabid fan Team-Maker's section? This could help encourage the other fans and generate more revenue. Put it in the least desriable Team-Maker section to keep the other folks happy.

6. Coach Bohl needs to keep putting a quality product on the field. A win against Minnesota would go along way to generating that excitement.

7. Prohibit 02Bison from attending any games. If he dares attend, everyone on this board needs to Duct Tape him from head to foot, but please cut a hole so he can breath through a straw.

I believe I kicked it up a notch this week. I promised my wife not one vulgarity would escape my lips all season, and I would not single out any players and heckle. Oh, but I kicked it up a notch. I will not rest until everybody around me is cheering somehow. There is no excuse. I don't care if cheering makes you uncomfortable. Only stubborn turds don't cheer. Don't be a stubborn turd.

Slick, you said I was standing the entire game. That is not true. I stood on all the important downs and sat for at least half the game. You are full of B.S. I have no problem sitting in a seat and if you want to check out how much fat versus muscle I have come visit me before or after the game. BTW, go back to school and learn how to write.

I know that from being a Vikings season ticket holder. The atmosphere at the Dome has taken a serious hit by the lack of Tail Gaiting areas. Also part of the reason I dropped my tickets this year.

Tailgating is permitted in all Fargodome parking lots. Alcohol is only permitted in the west lots, although they can and do use the grass parking area west of the trees. This area has yet to come remotely close to being filled up by tailgaters.

I thought you got rid of your tickets because you only made it to one or two games a year?



2. Why can't the Dome serve beer at an NDSU game? The Gopher's do it. That also would clearly help. Is this a state regulation or an NDSU decision?

NDSU's decision. Dry campus, university event. Remember the hoops that had to be jumped through to 'allow' alcohol at tailgating?



3. NDSU needs to keep getting games on TV. Also, state-wide TV not good enough. They need to be on FSN and generate more of a Minnesota following as ND does not have enough population. Also allows us alumni outside of Fargo to keep more connected with the team. It will lead to more sell outs.

Working on it. If SDSU would have signed the TV rights, there would be at least one other game on FSN this year.



4. #3 leads to more sell-outs with more excitement in the team. #1 and #2 can also help.

Yup. NDSU has stated this numerous times. They're aware of it, and that's why the SFA game was on FSN.




5. Why not have one rabid fan Team-Maker's section? This could help encourage the other fans and generate more revenue. Put it in the least desriable Team-Maker section to keep the other folks happy.

Great idea. They half-arsed tried it before, with minimal success. Pretty much the fans that proposed the idea did it on their own.

[QUOTE=Bisonguy;139208]Tailgating is permitted in all Fargodome parking lots. Alcohol is only permitted in the west lots, although they can and do use the grass parking area west of the trees. This area has yet to come remotely close to being filled up by tailgaters.

I thought you got rid of your tickets because you only made it to one or two games a year?



NDSU's decision. Dry campus, university event. Remember the hoops that had to be jumped through to 'allow' alcohol at tailgating?

[QUOTE]

Thanks. It was a combination of things, but you are correct that much of it was due to having trouble making the trip. Tailgating was part of the decision as the atmosphere was not the same as what I saw back in 1999.

I think they should open up the taps at the game. NDSU could tax it at 50% and fund it toward the band. Further, no offense, but when I said expanding tailgating, I was saying open up another booze lot. It is shameful if they are not filling that west lot. A problem this big needs numerous solutions. I can't imagine what would have happened to me the day I earned my moniker.

The actual west lots fill up, it's only the grass area west of the trees that hasn't filled up.


There was a very suprising turnout for tailgating given the weather. Two years ago, there would have been maybe half as many that would have braved the rain.

pretty sure 99% of all schools dream of a student section like that...anyways tho dont know what SDbison or any of the rest of you could possibley do that would get you kicked out of the game. not to mention if your sitting in section 21 your pretty much in the cheap seats so i have a hard time believing you did nothing wrong if people in that section are complaining

First off, I would love it if our crowd was as enthusiastic as they were at the Metrodome last year for EVERY home game, but we all know that might be an impossible task.

There should be no reason that anyone should be removed from the game for cheering for the team. Crossing the line of sportmanship however could be. I have no idea what was said or heard in section 21 last night, so I'm in no position to decide if it was warranted or not.

When I choose to stand and cheer, I do it. I do not look behind me to see if those people are also standing nor do I try to be a cheerleader. I think that is what bothers some of those people sitting on their hands down in section 21, and leads to their complaints to the dome staff.

Believe it or not, but there were also people kicked out of Dacotah Field by the cops for crossing the line.

AS of right now I am not a TeamMaker and was hoping to join next year. It was my understanding that section 21 was were the active fans sit. It sounds like that isn't the case. I watched a few of the Virginia Tech intro videos and became very ill with envy. What in the hell is going on with the FargoDome people? Perhaps it is time a clear message is sent somehow? Why can't all of the "active" TeamMakers sit in one section. ( I thought it was 21).

What the Dome needs is a playoff game. If my understanding is right, season ticket holders get first dibs on Playoff tickets. Most of the corporations and older donor types will likely not pick up that option for the game. That means that tickets would be a free for all. Buy em where you want to sit, no strings attached. This would give the real fans an opportunity to make as much noise as they wanted to, changing the atmosphere of the Dome.

I have been to many different home College football games including NDSU, UND, K-State, KU, Pitt State (KS), Nebraska, Oklahoma, Montana, Montana State and Texas. The most tragic thing about all of this is that Fargo Dome fans easily rank dead last in terms of participation. To make matters worse, the few UND fans that show up for games in the hilarious are generally louder than a crowd of twice that size in the FFD. I was not around during the old days when they played outside, but from what I understand it was a very different atmosphere. When 10,000 people showed up to watch a Football game on a cold day of 15 degree football, they came for one reason, that was to cheer their asses off. Today, anybody can come to game (which is great don't get me wrong) but perhaps they are there for the wrong reason.

It is time for a change.

First of all, it was pathetic was the Dome guys/Fargo PD did to Herd Mentality. I sit right behind him in row 4 and when he was taken out, he was leaning on the railing not talking....it was a very quiet point in the game....and they come and yank him. It was shocking to say the least. In section 20, we are loud, we have fun...and nobody swears. Best fans in the entire dome. Also, I would say some of the most educated. We do our homework and know how to get under the other team for something....like say a redshirt from SDSU that wants to talk trash to our section....that isn't going to work. Anyway, when he got tossed, #5 went nuts. He loved it. Yelling back at Herd for being tossed....I guarantee it was him that told security to yank him. #5 was talking the entire game and just dropped a sure 1st down and tackled our fake punt pass (Richardson) by the facemask. He was a target because of how he was acting. Anyway, I digress....in the parking lot after the game, I spoke with the officer who gave him the initial warning, and he said that the team reported that Herd said some HORRIBLE things. OF which I promise you did not occur. Our section does have alot of different age groups, and everyone is mindful of the language that is being used. I honestly have never heard someone swear. I think we need to have Taylor talk to Dome security. After he was tossed, I got yelled at to calm down and to sit down.....I didn't know if Herd was arrested or not, and quite frankly, I am not willing to push it. It was just brutal how this situation was handled. Herd is a great fan, and I wish we have 10 of him in every section. The humor is priceless. Seriously, telling someone to switch sections or to calm down is just poor advice. He was being a great fan. Hopefully this doesn't become a larger problem than it already is, because next week I plan on being in Rhett Bomar's kitchen....breaking plates. Go Bison. He will be the best Quarterback in the dome...history.

I know at the Plano West game us students were standing and making noise the whole game. The only time they got mad at us is when some people chanted BS (and rightfully so) The rent-a-cops they hire for security think because they have a uniform on they have power. Has any of the Living Dead ever watched a Texas A&M game? Everyone stands through the whole game and halftime. People always complain about the Bison fans not making noise but if they do they are thrown out. What is GT's and Bohl's email address? Maybe if every single member of Bisonville e-mails them they will change.

It sounds like NDSU fans need some "Yell Practice" the night before the game at midnight.

For as sticky of a subject as this is I'm just going to throw my 2 cents in here...

This whole situation is out of control and there is no reason it should have gone this far. We aren't the only college or facility that has had this problem. Dome Authority, NDSU, and whoever else, do a little research. How does Minnesota and the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission create a successful game day atmosphere. Surely there are plenty of gopher alumni who are "the living dead" but it doesn't take away from the atmosphere. Its still there!! (yes i know there D1, more fans, bla bla bla) Look at schools similar in size D1-AA and see how they handle the crowds. See what has worked for other schools and what hasn't. Adopt a policy and evaluate it from there. There IS a solution that will work for the Fargodome, I don't know what it is but we just need to find it and bring a true college gameday atmosphere to Fargo!!! (I think we're well on our way in the tailgating department!)

I also have never been talked to by the Nazis so I must not be all bad, but when I see some of my fellow fans getting harassed, I feel compelled to step it up a notch. Only stubborn turds won't cheer. That's a fact. They don't have to stand to cheer. They can clap. If a turd is upset because they are asked to cheer in some form, they are also the problem.

My 2 cents about the whole situation:
Dome Security are the ones's getting all worked up over everything, not the Fargo PD, a bunch of overzealus cop wanna be's - those idiots cause more problems and hate and discontent than they prevent, Chill out and use some common sense. Not saying all are idiots but i can certainly point out the one's that are. CHILL OUT !! If you leave the building they wont let you back in, they act before establishing proof, they cannot produce a statute or written proof that you have violated a "rule" or ordinance, - ridiculous. I would really like to know how much training they have to perform their jobs, my guess 4 hours at best, not the 21 weeks the 'real" officers go through.

NDSU has created their own problems by intermixing the living dead with the rabid fans. If you ever went to the real football atmosphere at Dacotah Field, it was a known fact, sit on the south side if you want to have fun, CHEER on the team, stand when you want and get into the game. Sit on the north side, join the living dead and money people that enjoyed sitting on their hands the entire game. I tried like heck to get NDSU to create a section in the lower 20 and 21 sections to get noise and rabid fans on the other end of the field from the student sections, had a list of names and numbers who would move to those sections. However was told to keep being "enthuseastic" and it will catch on and there was no need as there was allready a "thunderzone". BULL - overzealous dome security not allowing it to catch on. End of story. What statute is someone violating if they want to stand and cheer AT A FOOTBALL GAME, be respectful of others I keep hearing? You PC people are not being respectful to those who want to stand and cheer. Just because it's not 3rd down, the opposing offense is right in front of our section, what the hell is wrong with standing and cheering to try and get a false start/snap, only to hear the living dead telling us to sit down, or SUPER SECURITY telling us of a complaint because we are standing too much - give me a break - this situation is the biggest bunch of BS that should'nt even have to be discussed and is causing hate and discontent between board members.

Heck they could just get rid the numbered sections in the entire dome and replace with examples - Living dead section, row A seat 12 - no security needed. Semi living dead section - stand and cheer for over a time that exceeds 2 quarters of football may result in ejection.

In all reality the solution is there is no solution. Just too many occupants in the dome and not enough fans. NDSU will never have a big time game atmosphere until Gene Taylor calls off the Dome Nazi's. They enforce the theater environment. Case closed.

You are nobody slick. My prediction is you won't even be able to finish your four year degree. You are such a master with the words. Are you a white boy rapper too? You really have some important friends. Jamar is the man. In all reality you probably have no friends.

They Dome Nazi's are still out in force. Politically correct cheering only is acceptable. Don't stand or encourage others to cheer or you will be escorted out of the game. I was told I had too much enthusiasm. When I asked why I was being targeted they only said the dome is a private business and they can choose to pull anyone out that they want. Nice. It is time to see if I can sit over by the student section. The living dead are thriving at the dome. I am really growing tired of their B.S.

Private business my ass. Our tax dollars paid for the dome and NDSU keeps it from going broke because the management is so piss poor they can't even compete with Grand Forks and book any concerts. They suck.

As far as I'm concerned.... a ticket is for your seat. You should be able to do anything with that seat including stand on it during the game as long as your not obscene. Yelling obscenities is one thing (there are kids around) but standing a cheering loudly is another. Yeah, standing the entire game is a bit over the top but standing for half the game or more should be the norm. We shouldn't be hindered from being fans because Grandpa has a bad hip and has to sit. Besides... don't the signs on the dome itself say, "Get up and make some noise?"

I guarantee you people act like bigger jack asses at concerts at the dome. I mean, they body surf so what's the big deal with standing and cheering? Plus they smoke weed at the concerts.

Maybe we need to hand out thunder sticks to the old people with bad hips and the real fans can actually cheer. At least this will put the non/bandwagon/fashionable fans to use.

Well one thing I do know, The bad boy's section's of 20 and 21 will more than likely have a camera pointed at us the entire game next week, or what they did last year by putting a plain clothes officer in a seat near us to monitor and report back to the mucky mucks. So just so we all fit in, are we drawing straws to see who will be knitting, reading a book, napping etc, we gotta blend, blend , blend. BTW - no school colors, hard hats etc. hey, lets all play bridge between plays.

Have you ever thought about having a representative from the athletic department sit in your section? Heck, maybe the Forum could embed a reporter with you guys.

A representative from NDSU would be best if Taylor is willing to do it.

With all due respect, you and yours are the ones with the problem, SDBison. You spend half the game looking at other fans-with the field behind YOU!

Who cares if we don't stand up on a certain down OR (most usually) wait until about 15 seconds before the snap before doing so?

It was absolutely hilarious during the 2nd quarter when your cohort was scolding us DURING PLAY. You know the Walker pass to Belquist just in front of our section for the first down. Oh, wait-You had your back to the field!!


I had a great time at the game. I don't know why others can't do the same.

Nobody should be singled out, you are right on with that one. I certainly hope that was'nt the case. With that being said, I wave the surrender flag, I will do whatever the majority does. The rabid fans are the minority and always will be in the stale dome, the mentality created years ago when the social dome opened. The only thing that will change this is, is when NDSU designates some cheering zones that will be contagious to other sections RE: north - south side of Dacotah Field. Until then, mixing rabid fans with living dead will never work and will only keep the dome nazi's busy.

I gotta say that I'm with NDB2 on this. If the main trouble you are having is caused by other folks feeling like they are being harrassed, then why not leave them alone and do your own thing and see how that goes? Respect goes both ways. If you respect their decision to sit and watch the game relatively quietly, then they should respect our decision to hoot and holler at games (and vice versa).

All I ask is that I be allowed to hoot and holler and carry on. That said, the reason I go to more away games than home games is that there is no way in hell I'm flying into Fargo to sit quietly and watch a football game and maybe be allowing to toss in an occasional golf clap.

Still think the Bison maniacs should have a rep from the athletic department sit with them.

Suggestion:

Supplies
10 seats in a row
10 copies of the Saturday forum
some amount of Green paint

1) Open A Sections of each paper, turn over, place on flat surface.
2) Paint front and back pages as follows Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
3) Take seats, distribute papers
4) Open to page 2A, enjoy the game!

Disagree totally with you Tony. People have the WRONG attitude about why they attend a game in the Fargo area. For the last time I did not single anyone out until I was directly spoken to. Guess Fargo is too dull to have a big time game atmosphere. As for NDB2 or whatever he is a liar and I watched every play. Nothing wrong with getting the crowd above me going. If some feel guilty for playing dead too bad. There were hundreds above me in the stands that appreciated me getting things going. This is the most pathetic debate. If anything the fans who sit on their A$$ don't respect those who want to make noise. Get a clue.

Saw you with my own eyes, Mr. Hard Hat. You might have caught the end of the play, not the beginning. Your buddy who doesn't know how to put his jersey on missed the whole play. Remember-You and yours were making some stupid comment about SFA out cheering us.......

As far as hundreds appreciating your actions-find me one. You guys do little more than ruin the environment for others AND embarrass yourselves. Very classing getting into an argument with the woman in the box.

I don't know why you guys behave the way you do. Whatever the the name of the complex for grown men to behave like disgruntled teenage cheerleaders and pick fights you guys have got it.

WOW the tempers are still running high on this subject. (the personal attacks are unbecoming of everyone)

I think it is wrong to eject someone from the game for cheering in for their team unless there is profanity involved (and I mean more than one time). It is a sporting event and you should be able to support your team within reason. Yes trying to get others involved is within reason. I am on my feet cheering as much as I can (have a bad lower back so standing constant is an issue) but I am yelling and cheering even when sitting down. I go to the game so that I can support our team otherwise I could save money and sit home and listen to it on the radio. I guess it is a good thing we sit in the South Endzone up in the vicinity of Row O as we have never had the event staff tell us to stop and the 4 of us can get pretty loud.

SD bison you havn't posted a single comment about the play on the field so that would lead any person of mild intellegence to believe you wern't paying attention to what was going on in the game you were to busy harrasing people and like i was saying in page 1 or 2 of this thread there is no way you got kicked out just for cheering your a complete joke you got kicked out for harrasing others and you know it nazi

I have been giving this some thought and well here goes. First off this was the 1st game and everybody should know that by now it takes the faithful a few games to get into chearing shape. I know its sad but it is the truth. I wasn't at the last game so I can't comment on how the atmosphere was but it is almost always a bit depressed in the first few games. Especially when the Bison aren't playing that great.

Also when are you standing? If its 3rd or 4th down and the Bison are on defense then you have a legit gripe if people are complaining. If the Bison are throwing a deep pass or breaking a big run you also have a legit gripe. Heck, if the Bison defense makes a big play on any down you have a legit gripe. Other then that I'd say your better off sitting because more then likely you shouldn't be standing. A lot of people are big fans and they would rather sit and watch the game. There is nothing wrong with that as long as they respect that you also have a right to stand when the time comes.

So is it off limits to yell at the other team's players? If so....What a damn joke. I have been planning some good stuff for Mr. Bromar for months. He cheated and got caught by the NCAA. It is called a home field advantage. We need to go D1 in all aspects of this. Nobody is nasty, nobody is swearing, but some great humor, to get into the head of a coach/player is always a good thing. I hope nothing changes in section 20. I think last week was an isolated incident, in which the other team said section 20 said some things that were not really said, and he was removed. Truth was never told. unfortunate. Good luck and lets be bigtime fans with our without the Dome security.
