We still need a place (albeit not a large place) to have coats and notebooks and stuff. We do save seats - but I always stress being as compact as we can and taking up only the number of seats we will need. I think if everyone did that, this would be a non issue.

I took a bunch of pictures of 1111 laying out their streamers and signs and markers down in the front rows at the start of each competition day. I don't plan on doing anything with the pictures but I made sure they saw me taking them. Hopefully it caused a little guilt.

I didn't notice you guys though, your saving must not have been nearly as obnoxious and you didn't take up the best seats in the stadium.

That is truly unacceptable and the prime target for this thread. Also a team in Florida made special seat coverings for a few years. Im slightly surprised that the event volunteers have not intervened although former members of our team have with no change there actions.
