Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3442017, member: 10"] I think there are times during a game when it's appropriate to stand and everyone should stand. For example, down the stretch of a close game on an important possession. I mean this is a sporting event, not opera. But I don't think you should stand a good portion of the game if you're impeding someone else seeing the game. A couple years ago my son and I were at a Celtics playoff game that was highly contested and the score was close down the stretch. Everyone was standing the last couple minutes. A couple behind me (not elderly) told me and my son to sit down. My instincts were to sit down but then I looked around and everyone was standing. I politely asked the couple why they only wanted us to sit down because if I sat down then I couldn't see the game because everyone in front of me was standing. They agreed and then stood. [/QUOTE]
