More importantly, the argument is

I've had 8 heart attacks, two heart surgeries, massive heart damage, 7 children grown now, two big fat ex wives, a son in Charleston Law and one in G'ville Tech. I wouldn't dare expect to interfere with another Clemson Fan's way of cheering for the team.

I don't attend many games but when I do I try to stand and get as much volume from my lungs and voice box I can muster. I doubt the validity of the smurf who complained here without reservations. As one poster pointed out a man in front of him would have to have been 7 ft tall to obstruct his view if both were standing. That alone makes me subject to suspect he was behind people who were inconsiderate but such is the complain of anyone who expects to remain sitting while others stand and cheer.

Did we not just win our second NC trophy? Do we not get emotional and do our parts in the stand when our stellar defense in on the field during 3rd downs?

Frankly, with the lack of consideration for white space and the continuous persistent run on sentences in smurf's post I doubt most people comprehended the depth of his anger. Anger causes emotional outburst which often taint words and thoughts and misleads others.

Never-the-less, if you paid for your space in Death Valley who is anyone to request you behave to satisfy their desire? I'd also point out the 'friend,' who gave him the tickets could have and should have warned him of the giants who stood throughout the games in front of those seats.

My condolences on having 2 fat ex wives. They probably accounted for much of your health issues. Over many many years, I've never not worked out the standing deal. If needed, people, who are not AH's, would slide sideways just a bit so my wife could see Being polite, on both sides of the issue, manages the situation.

Now what REALLY drives me crazy is a 400 pounder sitting next to me. They ooze over onto your seat. I try to get there early with a stadium seat which helps but I'm still suffocating. God forbid them having to walk in front of you to go for concessions or bathroom. I've had to climb up on the seats behind me to let them by. Some people, not so nimble, just get bent over backwards--seriously! Some people flying buy 2 seats when they are very oversizedly challenged. Perhaps Clemson should provide an area for the oversized to sit.

To me, that's worse than the standing issue. Jerks even sit down once in a while and you can still breath. There is never any relief from an "oozer" Perhaps if you appear to possibly be too large, you should have to fit between 2 bars to get into the stadium.

Now before anybody starts with the metabolic disease, etc etc,be assured I understand that it is sometimes not a choice for the person. And I know some will gripe about my levity but I tried to stay on the light sarcastic side so as to not get into some angry diatribe on how my rights have been violated. If you feel offended I'm sorry but I pay for a whole seat-not a half seat and this REALLY makes me angry. Just because someone is of reasonable size to fit in the seats (which ARE definitely narrow but better than TN), they should not be penalized because someone else is not. I'm targeting in on getting close to old and one day may not be able to climb up on the seat behind me. Not being able to do that is a reasonable limitation at some point.

In all seriousness, it can make a game miserable. If you only have a half seat, then everyone on your side of the row has a half seat. I pay for 2 seats for my wife and myself. Season ticket holders think about how much money you have had to give over the years to even qualify for season tickets.I really feel their should be some accommodation for people that are over-sized. I'm sure they are not happy either and are embarrassed by the situation. If we have to be so freaking politically correct about everything else why not have a reasonable solution for this issue. Personally, I would be happy for my wife and I to sit in a box and relinquish my seats but I seriously doubt that would ever happen.

This is a very real issue which the University needs to address.

But, I'm standing up on the seat ... because I want to.

I'm not mad. Just not gonna let someone dictate to me

I feel what you're saying about "standing on the seat"

I bet your real life pulse is about 49% too.***

According to your pic, yours is more than likely!***
