Standing while they're on offense is just silly IMO (unless it's while a big play is unfolding). If you have the energy to stand while the Bison are on offense you're not cheering loud enough when they're on defense. That slow methodical offensive tempo the Bison run is a great way for me to get rested up for the next defensive possession.
The standing policy on defense is a lot tougher. I got yelled at by the guy behind me once for standing on the first defensive play of the year a few years back when the ball was fairly close to our endzone (south endzone) and was pretty disgusted by it but I did sit until the first 3rd down. I feel like for big games, 2nd halves of close games, or playoff games everyone should be allowed to stand while the Bison are on defense from 1st down until punt down. Once it's a 2 score or more game then standing before 3rd down is a no-no. Or if they're playing a cupcake then standing before 3rd down anytime after the first defensive series is a no-no.
Lastly, whether I'm standing or sitting while the Bison are on defense I'm going to probably piss off either the people in front of me or the people behind me. If I'm sitting I'm going to be yelling right into the ears of the people in front of me and I'm not a quiet person.
When the playoffs roll around, i find that few people are complaining about standing because playoff crowds are just different.

If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"
When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Not where WE come from! In the south endzone (at least as far as I can see in the lower rows of 7-8-9-10) we are standing on defense.
I do notice football players (on the field) looking toward the East sideline, (40-50 yard line) waving their arms, encouraging the fans to GET UP & CHEER!
If #94 or #99 were waving toward me... it wouldn't take me long to get out of my seat & yell! I've actually seen this a few times.
Maybe alot of those TMers (in the 40-50 yard line) are getting old?!!
