Stand with the Flow of the Game

This is not the R.E.M. song, Stand, it’s a rule for NFL football fans at football stadiums, EverBank Field specifically. Apparently standing and cheering can interfere with other ticket holders’ ability to enjoy the game from their seats. According to the rule it is okay to stand and cheer with the flow of the game, just not okay to stand continuously. The officials have even gone as far as dedicating several “Standing Encouraged” sections for those who prefer to stand. But if you are a fan that stands excessively and not in the appropriate area you may be subject to ejection without refund and potential loss of ticket privileges for future games. On another note I also found out recently that there is Wi-Fi at EverBank Field and there were as many as 8,000 people using it during the last football game. Maybe the people that can’t see because of the excessive standers could stream the game on their smartphones so they don’t miss any of the action. Then of course I am talking about the Jaguars and they seem to be pretty much out of the action this year again so far. But if you know me you may also know I’m a Cubs fan, so I’m still ever hopeful!
