So what happened? Final score? I left in the 1st Qtr. Its also clearly obvious to me that i'll have to change my seat location. Some adults are more ignorant than the kids in the endzones. Very PISSED!

So what happened? Final score? I left in the 1st Qtr. Its also clearly obvious to me that i'll have to change my seat location. Some adults are more ignorant than the kids in the endzones. Very PISSED! I want to say 71-24. If you're referring to those slightly behind you in section 110, I'm not sure I'd call them adults (maybe by age, but certainly not maturity wise) I had a guy kinda razzing #2 to my left, but later in the game he was talking with him (making sure he knew it was in fun) I made it a point, after the game, to thank a few of their players for making the trip. I think there's potential there for them to have a team. Heck for not having a league, coach, and only bringing 13 players, I didn't think they looked all that bad. B. |

Well i will say this, i am gonna see if i can change my seat location.
I get to my seat before kickoff and there is a woman standing directly in front of my seat, her daughter was standing in the aisle. I said to the woman, "excuse me, i sit here". It was hard to get in without having her ass in my face. Anyways, she looks at me and shrugs her shoulders like so what and say, "yea well i sit there". her seats were about 5 seats over from me. So i told her that maybe she should go stand over there since she wanted to stand. She looks at me rolls her eyes then looks at her daughter and mumbles something. So anyway she continues to stand DIRECTLY in front of me and i asked her if she could please move over so i could see and yet again she rolls her eyes and said to her daughter "do you believe this". lol. Yea i know. So i said to her "hey if you dont like it you could leave for all i care". . That pissed her off. Her daughter was grabbing her arm saying "cmon mom, lets just go back to our seat". The woman then moved over, at best 3" and stood there till all the intros were over, then went back to her seat. Needless to say i was really agitated. Then she has the audacity to tell her husband that i told her she should leave. Of course she neglected to tell him why i said that.
One thing this woman doesnt understand, since i never saw her sitting there before, was that this is a constant issue down there in the endzone seats with the kids. If one kid stands in the aisle another handful follow then next thing ya know is that your getting elbows in the face and kids pushing into ya. It really needs to be policed down there but the security doesnt do a damn thing about it. I have to keep asking them to move then they run back to their parents and tell them i am hollering at them. Which i am not. I just say, hey you cant stand there.
So with 5 minutes left in the 1st quater i just left the damn game cause i was soo friggin pissed. Really ruined my nite.

Last year I had end zone seats in Erie. It will be the last time I get them. Kids would start to loiter around the aisle waiting for kickoffs and they have the nerve to basically jump in to your laps when a ball was coming. After one game I went up to the guy in charge of the ushers and told him I wasn't very pleased with how kids were allowed to just stand around in the aisle. His response.... "It's the nature of the beast".. That's all it took and I went off on the guy. What a piss poor excuse for not doing your job.
People think they are entitled anymore. Maybe her daughter will have more brains when she gets older.. One can only hope!

Yea its hit or miss for our staff. One will always tell them to move and others dont say a word. And yes everyone does feel entitled and the kids always come down for the kickoffs and will jump on top of ya to catch a $15 ball. I am still so ticked about last night, it really soured me. I aint even looking forward to next weeks game.....

Sorry to hear that Gene. Being up in FG territory, I understand the plethora of people coming into an area (for me FGs) From my perch I also can see it down at the wall on kick offs. (and you are right, the staff often keeps people from loitering in those areas, but some more than others) Being on the aisle down there can not be all that fun.
