Wish pup was still alive to respond to this thread.
How much of a stander are you at games?

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.Can't be knocking back 6 x 16 OZ IPA's a game. That's a bad hangover.lol a 50 year old wearing a letterman jacket that wasn't forwith a Pacifico/Coors lite would 100% catch some strays from me if I saw it walking around.
I only wear a letterman jacket to the big games typically- e.g., CFP or Oregon. Fellow fans love that school spirit.
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.
no shit, haie.
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.

So I typically just go to "bigger" games and try to grab seats with my pops in the lower 327 or 328 area and have a lot of fun ripping it up and making a racket but sometimes I'll look around and it's surprising how many people in that area are sitting on their hands during 3rd downs. Maybe I expect too much but I have on occasion turned around and pointed directly at able bodied men of unexpected lethargy and gestured to stand up 
Also Id like to stand more but I try to read the vibes of the section so I'm not the only douche standing for an offensive drive

Yellow has officially entered the old age of standing police.
It used to be that the North side was for standing all game regardless, student section, get drunk and let it rip. South side was for alumni and Olds who wanted to sit and enjoy a game quietly.
I can remember the one time I fucked this up when younger and bought tickets on the South side. People weren't enthusiastic I had snuck a fifth in, wtf?
Just more proof the new layout and moving the student section was a trash money grab ultimately degrading the experience for everyone.

If only there was a middle ground between standing the whole game or sitting the entire time.
I don’t think the north upper deck was ever a stand the entire time zone. Student zone on the north side was. The cash grab was lame.
Stood the entire game at the 1991 Rose Bowl. Didn't want to but the entire corner stood the game. Of course the guy behind me says sit down. I said Shirley you can's be serious
Generally I sat among the more refined fans
1990 USC the crowd stood the whole game including the blue hair Tyees where I sat. It just happened

I'd agree the upper level wasn't for the party but middle decks definitely were. Some people were here to party. This was also in a time before phones to fill in all the time between action.
Like I said, should have kept(and still could bring back)the North/South divide. Go Huskies chants might even sound good again.
People forget @UW_Doog_Bot couldn't even stand up at the Rose Bowl!!
People forget that while Race left UW early to go pro (in the trades), he's stilled descended of the South Sound gentry.
I always liked being under cover on the Northside Upper Deck. Came in handy for those Oct- Nov games.
Was pretty affordable to as you could get about 30- 35 yd line w/o Tyee Fees.

If you're in the lower bowl you're going to stand the balance of the game … particularly in a big game. I'm not sure that I'd say the design is shitty but it's definitely not as steep as you'd like it to be. If you are dumb enough to stand during the 3+ minute TV timeouts then I don't know what to tell you.
If you're in the upper deck and want to be a douche that stands in the tunnels blocking views from others you deserve to test the theory of "can man fly" down to the lower level … however, it's also not fair to those in the lower level to have some douchebag that is only interested in posing for pics on their social media to crush them when they get thrown.
And yes, for a big game you should be working to lube up those vocal cords days in advance and keeping them extra lubed during the game to avoid being completely hoarse for 3-4 days afterwards.
