In some places hosting a regional competition. It can be cold or warm (depending where your at) Listen to the weather report hours b4 you leave for the cometition. Even if you live just a few blocks away from the site. Knowing what the weather will be like will avoid unnesscary clothing clutter other then Team Jackets.

The first come first serve idea could work as well. The teams that show up the earliest. Can mark where they would like to sit. However this could be done months in advance espicially if its the same venue from the past year.

Unfortunately NYC does not have the extra seating to host clothing (not like NJ anyway where Half of one side is Field / Team Sitting and the other half was the Pits and empty chairs.

Bring what you will need to the competition and not stuff that will clutter the entertainment. I see many team members who walk around with Game Boys. Your going to cheer your team on not to see who can save The princess in Mario Bros. I'm pretty certain that the Competition is exciting enough with out Tetris being played. However if you do bring some side entertainment label it and also put it in the suggested box above when not in use instead of leaving it in ure jacket which could be blocking seats. (Teams can't say they don't have a KOP box b/c A) Each team gets 2 per year B) If you don't have a KOP box I'm sure soem teams out there have the Stack Attack Bins from last year.

A basic kit of things to bring is one or two of the KOP boxes that way you can throw all your stuff in the boxes (plus its stackable). Which means if you stack it correctly they'll be some space saving going on.

Other then that I'm pretty cool with how the teams cheer on everyone. If someone were to jump up and make some sudden cheers i would keep my mouth quiet yes it disturbs me watching the game but i know i would do the same thing if i was sitting in their shoes. I'll edit this post if I find any other ideas
