Bored with the daily squabbles over chants and authenticity, and seized by a passion for flight, we set out to learn everything we can, practice, and push ourselves to a higher plane of existence. Through this we seek to form a better group through perfection of songs, chants and soaring flight, with brethren who also love to fly. Although this tenacity and desire makes us “pretty well one-in-a-million”, we seek others like us and desire to bring them them this learning and to spread our love for flight.
Membership
We are actively opposed to racism, speciesism, sexism, homophobia, and ornithophobia. Everyone is welcome within our flock no matter your species, race, religion, political view, sexual orientation or gender*.
As a major Memorial Stadium supporters’ group, many of us perch (stand really) atop the roof above both grandstands. We are dedicated to the Memorial Stadium match day experience, and the litter that goes with it! Soaring, flapping, poaching snacks, pooping, and squawking our lungs out at every event are the norm! We are a social-anarchist supporters group. We oppose the man, except when he’s got food.
If you’d like to join, flap by our membership booth on the roof of the north grandstand during any match. Annual dues are five herrings, or one case of Tangy Cheese Doritos.
Pre-match
Before matches most Seagultras gather at our favorite local watering hole, the International Fountain. Members enjoy a fantastic discount on the already low price of drinks. About 30 minutes before kick-off, we organize a Flap to the Match, where we gather en masse, take voice as one, and soar majestically into the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium.
In honor of our anarchist roots, we encourage members to express their feelings in whatever way they desire, before, during and after events. Thus we don’t follow typical supporter culture with scheduled songs and cheers, although as a courtesy to new members we provide some ideas and inspiration on our Songs and Chants page.
Post-game
As part of our outreach and environmental efforts, we provide assistance with stadium clean-up after each match. As soon as the general public vacates their seats, members swoop in to pick up any items left behind, especially snacks. Not only does this reduce the work load for the custodial staff, but it’s also very ecologically friendly and helps keep organic material out of landfills.
Administration
The Seagultras are administered by a conference committee made up of three members who hold the rotating titles of President, Vice President and Secretary. The current president is Fletcher Lynd, the vice-president is Rick Bach, and the secretary is a Hoopoe. Members may challenge for one the administrative positions at any time by submitting a petition to the full parliament of members.
