I have no problem with people standing up to make noise during crucial plays of the game, 3rd downs, etc. I agree there is no reason to stand up and talk to people around you. What I really hate is the a$$clown who is determined to smoke a cigarette in the stands knowing full well it is not allowed. I try to ask, plea for them to not do it, what else can I do? I would report it to the usher, but that seems petty. We just moved our season tixs this year, and I hate the fact that the guy behind one of our seats (we have 4) smokes during the game (he did it on Sunday) and is also a season ticket holder which means he will probably be around for a few games.
Any advice beyond "spill a beer on him".
