I gave up my saints season tickets because these kids behind me kick my seat. After three years I gave up.

So the natural response is to alert the media.

Because if so, it sounds like the obese dude sat in one of their seats for the sake of not having anyone directly on either side of him.

If that was the case, I fail to see how the stadium employees would've refused to help.


Either way his presence is a fire hazard.

I wanted to laugh so hard at this but I am afraid my hangover will cause me to throw up.

Had this happen to me at the Auburn LSU game this year. This old man decided to start bringing his big fat daughter to the games, and I was stuck sharing my seat with her. I ended up leaving my seats and sitting in someone else’s so I wouldn’t have to share with her thigh


That's why I started paying for the seatbacks on my tickets... helped alleviate the encroaching fatties..

While I see your point, what's the difference in one seat?


I guess there is none. Fat people would put everyone at risk. Can you honestly say there's anyway someone could just slide by that dude?

Maybe he sees this article and commits himself to losing weight.

they always affect others- be it through higher health insurance or otherwise. If i had $700 tied up in tickets, that fat frick would have been run off with the quickness.

Sports teams, concert venues, and airlines all too afraid of possibly getting bad PR by requiring obese people to buy 2 tickets if their fat asses are too big to fit in a single seat. I think the majority of people would be in favor of that type of policy because normal people generally wouldn't appreciate spending their hard earned money for a seat that they're being squeezed out of because someone else is so fat they take up their seat and half of the seat next to them.

Had chubby accepted a move, like a seat in handicapped area(usually have folding chairs in these sections), then oK.

The fact that he did not give a frick shows why he is that size. frick him.

For $700 (x2), I would have embarrassed him. Hell, for $7, I'll embarrass his fat arse.

If he's embarrassed, he'll probably leave, now you have 2 seats plus space where he was.

Handicapped areas are for HANDICAPPED people, not FAT people. Being fat isn't a handicap unless you can't help it. Also, I bet the handicapped seats are more expensive.

That brings up another point.....I wonder why stadium officials couldn't usher the couple to club level or a restaurant and set them up for their inconvenience?

They should have made big boy move. My season tickets in Tiger Stadium are on the top row in 412 close to the isle. People are constantly sitting my seats. I always make them move. Its simple, show them your ticket ans tell them that these are your seats.

I see this problem every time I fly commercial.

Most recently I was on a Southwest domestic flight and had the distinct displeasure of being crushed against the outer bulkhead as not one, but two grossly obese fat POSs jammed themselves into the two seats beside me.

No exaggeration that either of these women were well over 400 lbs each.

I have no doubt that had I complained, I would have been vilified for my insensitivity.

Both of these hippos spent the entire flight gorging themselves on potato chips and other sweets washed down with copious amounts of sugary soft drinks.

Plane tickets should be priced according to weight and hip gates should be installed requiring oversize travelers to purchase two seats and remove or retract the dividing armrest!

Skinny people should have rights too!!
