We use our shields, light sabers, flags, and anything we can get our hands on and wave them like crazy. Funny thing is, we look at this like a sporting event and our team/fans have been well conditioned by our football games (Back to Back State Champs!). We go nuts for our squad - and we won't change this for the foreseeable future. That and we bring down a lot of people.

But we are fun and bring in those around us. We cheer for those teams we are allied with and have never had a complaint.

I coach them throughout the season that there are no saved seats and we have not yet had a problem.

As for scouting, if your scouts are in the lower rows, they will have a tough time scouting the field.
The seats sectioned off at Championship for teams that were on the field were great for watching matches. Not all venues do that or have the ability to do that. The issues we encountered were higher in the stands as well as at district events. Your team sounds like a lot of fun. I would rather see a team having that kind of enthusiasm than a team with its members sleeping in the stands or playing games. Keep up the good work. The bottom line is everyone is there for the same reason. We all want to see matches. Considering those around you is part of gracious professionalism
