In 2011, the line for pit was allowed to go inside, and right up to the pit doors. Thus, when the doors were opened there was no incentive to sprint... you were already there. 2012 and 2013 had a dangerous 500' sprint.
I'd be nice (but I'm less familiar with the dome layout) to do the same thing for the 4 divisions. Form a line right at the entrance to the seats themselves, so that minimal sprinting could even happen. This also makes what is currently one massive line, 5 smaller lines.

I agree with most of this. However it doesn't address the problem of a team sending a 1 or 2 people to save 30 seats or more.
While a lottery may be "resource intensive" it solves both issues. There's no running, and everyone has a set amount of seats.
Also, to prevent teams from saying they have 50 people just to "be safe" it may be a good idea to have a system in place that the bigger the team is, the less likely they get seats up front.
I'm all for simple solutions but at the same time I don't want to half solve the problem.
