FRC rules around seating need to change.

Another option, tangential to this issue: give guests special colored lanyards and instruct ALL teams to treat these people as VIPs. (Maybe they do this already, I don't know.)

Even when all teams are at their best behaviour they're going to walk into a stadium full of banners, loud cheering, colored T-shirts everywhere and they're just not going to know where is it "ok" to sit. To have team members welcome them into the fold, invite them to sit down and explain what's going on would be the ideal scenario, as some of you already do.
