Caroline and Brad: Premier League: Safe Standing

Premier League safe standing areas

http://www.fsf.org.uk/campaigns/safe-standing/

Questions: 

1. Understanding stadium standing in the Premier League has resulted in ninety-six deaths, should the league even begin to reevaluate their decision and bring it back with regulations? 

2. Is sitting down in soccer stadiums simply just as dangerous and contradictory because fans will inevitably stand anyway?

3. If regulations were to be made, what should they be and how should they be enforced?
