Rich, you might be on to something. I think reserved seating could be a nice security blanket for teams that want to make sure they've got the seats they'll need, but I think it would ultimately have some major problems. There are two reasons.

One- People will complain a LOT about "the angle" they view from or that "they got there early and should have had the seats in the middle"... etc.
Two- Some teams are bound to reserve way more seats than they'll actually need, and then we'll be back where we started.

But, it could still be a good idea.
