I worked Spare Parts in 2006 at L.A.--but when the Pit Admin folks left for the day before the pits closed, Spare Parts got to take over for a couple of hours until the pits closed. That's when I pulled the following tricks:

"Team XXXX is leaving the arena. Thank you for doing so, Team XXXX." or
"Team XXX is leaving the area. Please follow them."

Great ways to politely clear out the pits, instead of the classic "The pits are closing. Get out." (I also used the old "The pits are closing in 5 minutes. Please pack up and head for the exits.")
