I must have missed all those excited students going to the games in the early 2000s when there were only 600-700 of us in the stands. Hell last year I was at a game with 700 in the stands.

Look I understand why they sell GA and SRO tickets and I applaud it.. I just dont think that ticket entitles you to sit where ever you please the second you step foot in the stadium. Stand up for 1-2 innings at least and then find a seat where someone didnt show up. Thats fine. I missed this unwritten rule that SRO meant first come first serve on any seat. Thats fine when its 700 people at the game in the middle of the week but its not cool on a Friday night game when the stadium will be at 90%+ capacity.

And before anyone says just ask them to move.. Think about what I said earlier.. You may be sitting in a seat because someone else is in your seat. You are asked to move then you have to ask someone else to move etc.. Now you have a whole fricking section playing musical chairs trying to find the SRO tickets. This is what happend at that Tulane game that got out of hand and heated.

I understand your viewpoint, but the ticket says nothing about waiting until a particular time to find a seat.

There isn't a rule like that, I would bet over 99% of people would move without a problem if the season ticket holder shows up. Its really not a big deal for everyone to act like an adultin this situation. It happens almost all the time.

there are two really good places to stand along both the 3rd base and 1st base lines next to the steps ... don't sit in a seat in the first couple of innings .. with the goofy way traffic and parking is right now at the box .. it is very possible that seat holder is running late .. 3rd inning onward .. about an hour into the game .. they are prolly not coming .. ALL seats in the grandstand are sold ... there is someone out there that holds a ticket to that seat ..
