There is a guy who goes to the Carolina Panthers games called the Third Down Man. He has a cool site with rules and what not on how to act at games. Funny thing is that we had hundreds of guys like this at SDS, but now we're all seperated and surrounded by tools and security who ruin the experience. Its time to take the power back. If they get it in Carolina, then they need to get it in AZ. Im gonna be loud as hell, even if they have to escort me out of my section. I'm bringing it soccer style, with obnoxious noise that has never been seen in the NFL. This game is big, and its time we start to recognize it as such.

Seahawks stole the whole "12th Man" concept from Texas A and M. There was even a lawsuit filed. Here in the AZ we don't bother with silly, cappuccino laced gimmicks. We just show up, party hard, and back the hell out of out team, no matter what the situation. We don't need some cheesy, overused, label or rallying cry like the embarassing "12th Man" crap.

The Seahawks pay Texas A and M to use the 12th man concept. Hahahahaha. What a joke.

Oh, that's just stupid. The Seahawks didn't steal anything from A&M -- the term "12th Man" had been in the public domain for over half a century, to the point where it now refers to any team's home crowd. A&M didn't attempt to copyright the term until several years after the Seahawks retired the #12 in honor of the fans in 1984, when the old Kingdome had a reputation for noise even more than Qwest does now. That lawsuit you mentioned was brought about, not in an attempt to get royalties for other teams' use of term, but to get other teams to drop it altogether. The fact that there is now an agreement that allows the Seahawks to use the term as long as they acknowledge A&M's copyright, in exchange for a nominal fee, is evidence of the fact that A&M didn't have nearly as strong of a case as they had hoped.

If you don't like the term "12th Man" because you just think it's stupid or embarrassing, that's entirely up to you. But don't be surprised when your opinion isn't shared even among Cardinal fans, because the 12th Man has long since lost its exclusive association with A&M.

You know D, all last season I felt like something was missing at the games, It almost seemed to "Corporate" to be there. I really liked the rowdyness and the fights at SDS, It was like going to war every Sunday and waking up on Monday with battle scars. Now you get kicked out of the stadium for cheering on your team? Its just not the same....Lets change that!!

Sorry man, but it is silly. Calling the crowd the 12th man is one thing, but actually hanging banners, flying flags, and all of the other rediculous shenanigans is absurd, and very, very, unoriginal. So what is the "nominal fee?" LOL That's rich. Is it $2 bucks a year? Probably not. The point is that a major brand and marketing strategy of the Seattle Seahawks is a direct ripoff of A and M.

I'll take it a step further. I have yet to walk out of that stadium and feel great about a game i have attended. We won a few, but we haven't won a big one yet that mattered. Until that happens, and the new fans get a clue, it wont ever feel like home. The South Endzone in Sun Devil was a battleship looming over the field that was a sacred place, that was protected with honor., There is no place like that in U of P.

 

[100%CardsFan]

I flew to Seattle to watch a game in 1998 or 97 I think, at the Kiingdome. God what a craphole that was. One thing though, when walking around the outside ring to get to your seats it had an amazing view of the city. Seattle is a pretty cool city to visit, just couldnt live there, too much rain and gloom for me. But it was a good trip. Seattle fans are douchebags there. I grabbed some guy by the throat and almost got kicked out, he was kicking the back of my brother with down syndromes chair and kneeing him in the back of the head because he was cheering for the Cardinals. I tried to choke the life out of him.

I agree. Really both endzones were not places for opposing fans. All of us put in some work there. Except O lol he was throwing quarters at the opposing fans but hitting Cards fans..... a foot and 1/2 in front of him.. LMAO I miss those good times

LMAO. I almost got in a fight in the north end zone one day because some assclown wearing a Cardinals Eric Hill jersey was cheering for the Redskins. All I wanted was an explanation for his stupidity. Another time a couple of drunk Cowboys fans told me, "Whatever you do, don't strike my son, strike me." Only problem was that comment came out of nowhere. We were just sitting down watching the game at the time. When we beat Dallas in 1999, I remember giving a high five to former AZ Governor Rose Mofford and yelling "Rose Mofford is a Cardinals fan!""" Everyone started chanting her name. Good times at SDS.

LMAO I was going back and forth with this fat Cowboys fan who kept holding up 5 fingers everytime I said something. He kept saying "5 Rings bitch" and I told him that he probably ate 5 boxes of twinkies after each victory, then I went on to tell his kids that thier daddy was a lard ass. He got up and grabbed his kids and said "Lets go, this a-hole just ruined the game for us" LMAO, I was yelling at him as he left "Dairy Queen is open late"

LMFAO! That's hilarious. When the ravens came to town, some guy in Harbaugh jersey had a sign that said Cardinals suck, some guy in the SEZ grabbed his sign and ripped it in half and handed it right back to him. Next thing you know, Ravens fan is tossed for no apparent reason, but it was hilarious. There was a guy that sat right across the aisle from us in the SEZ who would drink a beer until it had about 25% left then just leave it there and order more. Well he tossed that beer on the field at every game I ever went to and never got kicked out. The best part was seeing security walk through the stands trying to find who did it, and it was him everytime. A 49ers player even signaled fair catch and caught one of his beers one time.

Last year I stood up and yelled defense during a key third down and was asked by security to not stand or else I would get kicked out. Crap, maybe I hate U of P.

LMAO. I miss the SDS. I was getting beers and once the lady handed me the beers I gave her the V up to my mouth thing with my fingers (i have no idea why, i was wasted) so the guy working at the beer vendor starts talking crap to me, so I told him to come on out and lets box. So he started to come out and 2 security guards came running over one grabbed him as he tried to do the tough guy "hold me back" thing the other guard told me to come with him, I told him to F off and he aint a cop so I pulled my arm off of his grip and ran back up to sec 40 where I sat with bleedingred and the crew. So next thng I know a DPS officer is standing there wth the guard looking for me, so I stand up and throw my arms up and scream at the top of my lungs 'YOU LOOKIN FOR ME" Then just started laughing out loud. Well after they took the handcuffs off I just went back to Lot D and drank everyones beer from random coolers at the vacant tailgates

Code of Conduct

DO show up for the game! You can't do much in your living room!

DON'T wait for someone else to get up first to get the fan defense into the game. Take the initiative!

DO get up on every down during the Panther's defense, not just on 3rd Down.

DON'T cuss out the Panthers if they fail to stop the opposing offense, or even lose the game at that. They're OUR team for Pete's sake!

DO let anyone around you that complains you're making too much noise that this is a football game, not their living room!

DON'T cuss or use harsh profanity while being a Third Down Man! Children may be around, and you've got to have class.

DO have patience with fans sitting around you. At first they may not want to participate with you on 3rd Down, but don't give up. They'll come around, especially if the team's winning.

DON'T leave for concessions or the bathroom during the Panther's defense - you might miss that awesome defensive play that you could have taken credit for! Yep, that's right! Third Down Man takes all the credit for a defensive stop!

DO bang on your seat to make as much noise as possible. If the seat next to you is empty, then bang both of them!

DON'T get into fights or shouting matches with opposing team's fans - keep it light or ignore them. You will probably bear the brunt of their ribbing or jeering, but you'll be taking it for the team and all the Panther fans around you. How you hold yourself during the tough times will show what a leader you are.
And chances are they will get thrown out in no time. Under no circumstances should you be ejected from the stands during the game - we need every Third Down Man out there to the end!

DO respect the stadium's security guards. If they feel that you are being too rowdy, then take your enthusiasm down a couple of notches. You don't want to get thrown out!

DON'T start whining if we start losing or getting behind in the score. Third Down Man is not a whiner. Stay positive or hold your tongue. No one around you wants to hear negative comments - it's just a game!

DO buy a t-shirt! That way you can be easily identified as a Third Down Man!

DON'T leave the game in the 3rd Quarter! That is the worse thing a Third Down Man can do, since there are going to be plenty more 3rd Down's left in the game. Even if there's no chance of winning, you can always practice for the next game.

Man, some of this needs to be published in the AZ Republic. It should be posted on signs in the stadium.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

yep - that guy gets it

 

[100%CardsFan]

Im gonna make some changes. The Fighting and cussing parts Im going to have trouble with but Im going to control myself this game and see if it works, If we win, Its permenant. If not Im fighting.

 

[TigToad]

security

We were told to sit down before the game when the camera crew was in our section... then the security person was standing (in front of us) telling people to sit down during the opening kick off.

We wrote a letter to complain to Michael Bidwill and the stadium. We had a call from someone at the Cardinals who lectured my wife on the stadiums policies and said that someone would be personally visiting us to go over the stadium rules with us we can enjoy our experience more.

I can't wait.

LMFAO! That's hilarious.

[Gee!]

Well after they took the handcuffs off I just went back to Lot D and drank everyones beer from random coolers at the vacant tailgates

I KNEW IT!!! I would always get done with that long walk back to Lot D wanting a nice cold beer only to find there was 2 left.. I knew someone was thiefing them... your dead..

 

[Gee!]

Hahahhahahahaha. Wow thats epic. I have a postgame video involving beerbongs and boobies from Lot D that I'll have to share some time.

I think we all have one of those videos.. And its most likely not the same game either..
