What will make the alumni stand?

[ksuno1stunner]

Continually shooting t-shirts into the crowd?

[ECN]

thats the only thing so far.

perhaps wire random seats with voltage and shock them every now and then.?

[michigancat]

Let them sit.  They've earned it.

I hate freaking dorks that spend the entire game trying to get the west side to stand up.

[sonofdaxjones]

Ya know . . . over there in that group of people who "don't stand up" are many of the people that are likely financing somebodies scholarship, or made a building that KSU students now use possible.   

[ksuno1stunner]

Nobody sits in Allen Fieldhouse

Remove the seats?

[sonofdaxjones]

Yeah . . . those JoCo housewives are always on their feet there at AFH.   

[WILDCAT NATION]

Continually shooting t-shirts into the crowd?

That's pretty much it...from what I can tell.

[ksuno1stunner]

Believe what you want.

[sonofdaxjones]

Sure, they stand from time to time. 

Many times though, the "great" crowd at AFH sounds like their at a tennis match, or waiting for Tiger to put out at the Masters.

You mean when they're on offense?  16k fans every game is insane.

I've actually never been to a ku game. 

Just razzing sonofdaxjones.

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Standing is for the students.  The alumni have earned the right to sit during the games.  The  student body is what will make Bramlage a tough place to play b/c they are the younger ones with the energy to make all of the noise and jump up and down and go ahead and make a$$es out of themselves (in a good way).

As an alum, we will make our noise and stand on an occasion, but if everything works the way it should, we should pale in comparison to the fans in the student body.  Every top program is that way.

[catsdo]

Earned the right?  The reason we want alumni to stand is to help the team.  Alumni stood the whole time during the marching cobras.

I can attest that the West side sat on their asses for most of the Cobras performance as well.

It drives me nuts sitting over there sometimes...

[dohminator]

When I finally manage to get back for a game, I'm really going to be sad that I won't be in the student section.  That is where the fun is at.  Why an alumnus would not want to stand and get crazy like they did when they were students is beyond me. 

[Chet Stedman]

Most of the alumni are too old to care.  I suggest anal prods. 

[catsdo]

The sections to the right of where the student section is gets pretty exciting.  I think there are a lot of young alumni next to ICAT and in the ends.

[mjrod]

Have a no sitting theme at the game with Taco's and beer as prizes for those who stand the most.

[gkonz72]

They stood up for the marching cobras.

[dohminator]

Whichever section outside of the student section stands the most gets free nachos and a drink at the next game.  That would get people standing. 

[fatty fat fat]

The alumni want to stand, they are just too embarrassed to do it. Anyone who has sat in those sections feels that way.

[ksuno1stunner]

We just need the front row to stand, and everyone else will follow.  I agree, nobody wants to be the douche bag who's standing.

When The FBC first opened, there was an error with the tickets and the students were in the chairbacks.  They sat while the old folks stood.  It was strange.  They had the error fixed by the second game.

[mcmwcat]

I stand at times.  Usually at the end of the halves and I'm up and down a lot after baskets and good plays.  But I'm not going to stand and block the view of the senior citizens sitting behind me.  LSnyder sits down the row from me and I just can't picture making him have to stand for stretches during the game.

Frankly I stand more during timeouts and half time than I do during the game because I would rather stand ... but just don't have the nerve to piss off people behind me during the game action.

Are you serious?  That would be pretty entertaining to see.

[Leyton]

Yeah.  That's the main reason that it's pretty much necessary that most people in those sections sit during the game.  It'd be a little, I dunno, barbaric to turn around to an 80-year-old woman behind you and say, "Come on, grandma!  I know you're have two hip replacements and struggle up and down the stairs, but you need to stand for our cats!"

As several others have suggested, I think it'd be really cool if alumni could buy tickets for a section devoted to buck-wild old codgers who want to act like students.
