Block seating for teams in division stands?

[Kims Robot]

Im not sure if I am remembering this correctly, but I believe ages ago, when FIRST was back in Disney, they actually had 3-4 rows of reserved up front seating or standing room (depending on the stage), and that section went to the teams that were competing in that round. As soon as your round was over, you were asked to move out and sit elsewhere.

I think this is a fair way to do things, and allows teams to sit close to the action. Some of the other ideas posted here are good as well.

We did have issues with seating as well, and as mentioned, we probably did break the "no blocking off seating" rule, but as explained, it was because we need to keep track of our students. I did have to explain to one of our chaperones that we really couldnt throw anyone out of our seating area, though, because of that rule (which is fair).

I guess my only issue is that my whole team couldnt sit together for the awards ceremony because we tried to find sections to sit in, but by the time our entire team could get there, other teams had filled in and taken all the seats around us... we won the rookie all star, and man would that have been a huge group hug had we all be together
