If you actually did what this person suggested and made the fans to give up their "before the kick-off" special prices on beer and brats, and actually spent 10 minutes before the game, forcing them out of the concourse, the tailgate clean-up, and bathrooms to get to their seats and stand at attention, hats doffed and hands over hearts, for two or more minutes while someone tries to hit the high notes, you'll soon have a revolt.
