- 1:17Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
- 1:19Speaker 1: It's part of a new policy where the Bears are
- 1:22Speaker 1: testing out a more family friendly fan experience.
- 1:26Speaker 2: How does that work?
- 1:27Speaker 1: Well, you can still root for the team, just silently,
- 1:32Speaker 1: you know, in a way that won't disturb others, especially
- 1:35Speaker 1: the visiting team.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Now you got to be kidding me.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Well, sir, sir, No, this isn't a joke. I'm serious.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Your section section four forty five has been designated as
- 1:48Speaker 1: a note sir? Can you please stop laughing? Okay, well,
- 1:56Speaker 1: we really do sound like a Bears fan, I'll give
- 1:58Speaker 1: you that.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Yeah, man, do you really work for the Bear?
- 2:05Speaker 1: I do, sir, and I'm trying to let you know
- 2:07Speaker 1: that your section section four forty five has been designated
- 2:11Speaker 1: as a no cheering zone.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, you know I needed this man.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Well yeah, I know it's been a rough go for
- 2:26Speaker 1: us over the years, so I know you needed a laugh.

- 2:32Speaker 2: Oh oh man, you gonna give me a heart attack.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Man. Okay, you got your laughs out and you understand
- 2:40Speaker 1: that we are changing your section to a no cheering zone.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Okay, that's great. I want to come to it. I
- 2:47Speaker 2: want to experience that, right. Can I drink? Can I
- 2:50Speaker 2: bring a couple of beers in there.
- 2:52Speaker 1: You can drink. But here's what you need to know
- 2:55Speaker 1: going forward. You are allowed to clap politely. So what
- 3:04Speaker 1: you're doing right now, ul sir, it would not fly.
- 3:07Speaker 1: This is too loud. It would violate the no noise
- 3:10Speaker 1: policy we're installing.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Man, you know that's why I will be drinking talking.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Calms down, man, Okay, Well.
- 3:17Speaker 1: That's probably highly recommended for you. Okay. In addition to
- 3:23Speaker 1: the light clapping, you are allowed to whisper chance.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Give me an example.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Well, if we're on defense, you could chant defense.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Oh no, that's hey, look that sounds creepy, man.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Well it's an option for you, and it'll sound a
- 3:41Speaker 1: lot better when the entire section is doing it. But
- 3:44Speaker 1: yelling or screaming or laughing maniacally will lead to immediate
- 3:49Speaker 1: removal and we would have to revoke your tickets as well.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Hey, do do your bosses know that you're on the
- 3:57Speaker 2: phone talking like this?
- 3:58Speaker 1: Man, they're the ones who came out up with this policy.
- 4:01Speaker 1: So my job is to relay it to the fan base.
- 4:05Speaker 2: This is a ridiculous fans what part exactly? Oh but
- 4:12Speaker 2: I hey, I give it to you, man, it's funny.

- 4:17Speaker 1: told that your section is being redesignated as a no
- 4:20Speaker 1: cheering zone.
- 4:22Speaker 2: So if I cheer, am I going to go to jail?

- 4:37Speaker 2: to work, man, So like, I accept the no cheering
- 4:40Speaker 2: thing and all of that. Okay, you got anything else
- 4:43Speaker 2: on me?

- 4:55Speaker 1: enough fans. They don't have enough fans to cheer for
