POLL: 5 mins into the Gonzaga game a woman grabs my shirt and tells me I can't stand up anymore...

Just ignore them and keep standing

I’d politely say that I’ll only stand when people in front of me stand.

That's what my wife did. I would stand in a sort of "crouch" so they could still

Big brain move. Then you can stand without the guilt trip.

This would have been the best option. Unless there were any seats with

Good answer. Nobody will be standing in front of you.

the terms of service of your ticket allow you to stand.. it's a right you literally paid for... they are welcome to

Are there handicap seats that would allow for an unobstructed view while sitting

Yes

No idea why people think this can be an expectation. Get an accessibility seat if that’s

There are areas for disabled people to sit; sounds like he should've been there.

Was switching them seats an option?...

Same thing happened to me. It’s so frustrating. I did the same thing as you

speak to security to see if they can be relocated

Disabled seating created for this reason. If possible, help them find a solution

trueblueinarizona

That’s unfortunate.

Ned Schneebly

I would actually offer to switch seats. If they're directly behind you then

I'd try to be considerate and stay down within reason.

That reminds me of a time a woman in front of us at a Football game asked us not to cheer so loud because she had a

Talk to events staff to see if they could get him a spot in wheel chair row!

diluigifan

Whenever this happens I offer to let them pay me the market value of my ticket.

rad dawg

2/25/20 7:34am

Offer to trade them seats. They'll still have the same problem, but you won't

byubyu

2/25/20 7:46am

Why do people pay to go to a game like that if they expect that no one is going

Banjo Blues

2/25/20 7:51am

Just tell them you can't see unless you stand

I can’t stand this (no pun intended).

You stood the entire game and weren't in the student section?

I gave up my season tickets because of this problem. Vietnam War wounds

Bullrider

BiL is on disability now and he still gets tickets but in the accessibility seats. They're there for a reason.

Soupie

I have never heard of those seats, where are they located at?

Bullrider

2/25/20 10:02am

Just above concourse. Great location actually.

byubyu

2/25/20 10:05am

Yep and at LES they're at very top of bottom bowl between concourses. Elevated enough that you can always see

Soupie

2/25/20 10:08am

Some of the best seats in the house!

Thank you Bullrider! I rarely meet people who were actually wounded in war.

Von Cougarschnauzer

Trade seats with them. If they never stand you'll have a great view.

icecougar

2/25/20 11:08am

On a good day, I might have switched them seats

BYU Fan

2/25/20 11:08am

As soon as they get everyone else in the arena to stop standing, I’d comply with their request.

hamaca

2/25/20 11:19am

Yet one more reason why I love the seats at the very top

Not in the Marriott Center... you have to train at altitude to last in those seats.
