We were pretty upset with this situation. My team had seats in said sections along time before the ceremony with some saved for the drive team and others who crated up the robot. However, they were forcibly removed and we had no where to really sit. Eventually we ended up on the 2nd floor and wanted to go to the 3rd, but we were not allowed. We eventually found a FIRST official who directed us back to said sections and said they were open. But, the security refused to allow us to sit there...eventually we got the FIRST official, but they had finally let us sit there. I thought it was dumb how so many teams could barely see becuase they were on the outskirts, but these said sections were less than 1/3 full. FIRST definitely needs a better system such as a ticket system for seats when you register (like a regular sports event) or a lottery system where they designate rows/blocks for teams to sit.
