Well, if it's really a spectator sport with avid fans, you don't sit at all. Most sports I attend are on the college level, but at The University of Virginia basketball and football games you never sit, at all. If you want to see, you have to stand. So I don't disagree with you because I think FIRST is different, but if you want to stand during your own team's matches, I think that should be fine. Holding up big signs and numbers however for longer than the time it takes to have your team announced could and should be considered inconsiderate to those behind you.
