Re: FRC rules around seating need to change.

I understand man. At champs this year during quals a friend and I went to watch matches on another field during Hopper lunch. We found good seats that had a reasonable view of the field. Before having the opportunity to sit a lady stuck out her leg blocking our path and informed us that she had most of the seats in the row saved for her team for when they returned. We didn't mind since we were taking a small lunch break and there were only two of us. At the time I knew about the rule but didn't feel the need to start a confrontation.

We moved over and sat in a section to the left. A few team leaders of another team shot us looks everyone once in a while for the less than 10 minutes it took to eat our lunch and see 2 field resets and only 1 match. The next day we decided to go up to the 400's level to eat our lunch. I feel that we shouldn't have had to worry about finding seats for a few minutes to eat lunch. Teams shouldn't be able to save seats for an entire day unless they are physically sitting in them. If no one is sitting in them for a long period of time I feel like other people should be allowed to sit in them. Not to say that you shouldn't be able to leave and come back to your seats, but that leads right back to the saving seats rule. I appreciate the team that didn't throw us out or attempt to throw us out of their section. We returned the favor by leaving promptly after finishing our lunch.
