Re: On Saving Seats

I don't like the idea of a team cordoning off an entire section for team members that are not there. However, that being said, demanding that there not be an empty seat within the block of a team is a bit ridiculous. Teams have pit crews and drive teams that want to sit sometimes, and not being able to sit with the team is not fun. At least for our events (SBPLI Long Island and New York City) there is usually enough seating that finding a block big enough for a 40 person team isn't that crazy. And usually most teams are easy to work with if you need to use a couple of empty seats near them. I know we are always happy to oblige as well.
