I've seen scouting sections set up by the regional planning committees, and honestly I am not a fan. Generally they do not get used, some scouts use it, but a vast majority do not and would rather sit with their teams. Additionally, it really takes the crowd out of it since they are prime seats.

I am very against saving seats, I know teams would like to sit together as a team, but honestly, all the doors open at the same time. Show up as a team and then you can get the privilege to sit together as a team.

Some venues which mandate Ushers to be on staff during the events have actually had the venue staff enforce this rule and generally it works pretty well, and usually you end up with a crowd that is way more into the game.
