It's obvious what needs to be done here about the standing/cheering issue. For several years, there have been false promises made to create a "Thunderzone" or a group of TeamMakers that are more active than the rest. I don't think they've ever really given it a try or put any thought into it. It was just another vehicle to sell more memberships/tickets.
I loved the idea of having a section opposite the students like this in order to intimidate the visiting team from sideline to sideline, but if these altercations with other Bison fans (and they ARE other Bison fans that the problem is with) continue...I can see FEWER people being TeamMakers and just going into the cheap seats for games.
Do we need to designate this section next to the students? I don't know, but I think Simmers and all the others that keep making these statements for a section like that need to get off their butts and make it happen. We're all rooting for the same team here, right? Maybe we need a change of TeamMaker "management" and get some young blood in there?
My two cents, if you want to berate me...please do it via PM.
