My proposed solution would be adding an additional "No Saved Seats Period" seating zone around the current match team viewing area. Preferably with large-print easy to read signs and an usher or two to cut down on arguments. Teams would be welcome to reserve space outside of this zone as a home base, but seat saving in the zone would be banned or strictly curtailed to only support scouting teams (1-2 seats per person, up to 4 saved seats per team). This would obviously take some tweaking, but I think it'd work a bit better than the jungle rules that currently seem to reign in the stands.
That's probably the best solution I've heard so far. The scouting excuse is the most common, and it makes sense that scouts need good seats. This solution would also end the incessant battle between teams standing up and cheering and scouts in the back yelling for them to sit.
