Re: FRC rules around seating need to change.

In other words, only small teams are rewarded by remaining small so that they can continue to sit together.

That doesn't sound like a recipe for "making it loud."
It is reasonable and it is workable. There is prima facie evidence all over the place. Many teams, both large and small, follow the no saving seats rule, and things work out OK for them.

You personally might not like the rule, but FIRST believes it is reasonable (they published it), and FIRST believes that it is workable.

I agree with them.
