Maybe a solution to saving seats could be something quite simple. If FIRST saved the first 4 or 5 rows across the bottom of the playing field and allowed teams to sit there during their matches, teams would always get front row seats for their own matches. Then, if the team wanted to stand (I like my team standing to cheer on their team, they cheer louder - and one could argue it is disrespectful to your team not to stand and cheer for them - it's a no-win either way I think), they could stand on the floor and bottom bleacher and there would still be space above them for the crowd to see over them. Teams wouldn't be in such a hurry to get into the stands because they would always be guaranteed a spot in the front to watch their team. Plus, if they put red on one side and blue on the other, you would always be near your alliance to cheer. Would certainly have helped in the pit fields and I think would help in all venues! When it boils down to it, everyone just wants to see and cheer for their team. People wouldn't be so possessive of stand space if they knew their team members working in the pit would have a spot to sit in when they came to cheer. Just a thought!
