    Must have been after it started raining while I driving home. I guess nobody knew it was going to rain Saturday.

So we sat near Section A and I watched at least 20 security/ ticket attendants sitting in chairs and guarding sections with hardly anyone sitting in them.

    And before I'm accused of being a cheap skate, I am a long time season ticket holder for baseball, basketball and football, RCAF member, etc. My seats were in the grandstand until this year when I decided to move to cheaper seats with the kids. Last 2 years there were no guards for the grandstand and any one could sit wherever they wanted. I got the cheaper seats with the thought that we'd sit in the grand stands occasionally - that is no longer allowed. This is an a below average/ average baseball team at best and we are literally running people off, using no discretion or logic and making the game day experience not enjoyable. I was actually pleasantly surprised when it started to rain and they let everyone into the Stadium Club, pavillions and Grandstand area.
    I’ve said it once and will continue to say it.

    Welcome to the big time! Thank you RCAF for making UL sports a hassle to attend and enjoy

    Or just sit where you are supposed to. Its not a hassle for me when I go to events because I sit in my seats.

When have we ever had a real problem with a fan sitting in someone else's seat and that fan refusing to move? To me that's when you get security involved. Not before.
    how about have volunteer attendents, maybe for half price rcaf membership or some other parking type perk?

    I mean its plain as day whatever tickets you pay for thats where you sit. Doesnt matter if the guy with the 25k patio seats doesnt show up you dont sit there because thats not your seat. If you want to sit there pay the money for it. Plain and simple. Dosent matter if the guy doesnt show up all year still not your seat nor anybody elses but the person that has the ticket. If you cant see that your just being ignorant

    Go ahead, fall on the sword 56 if it means that much to you. While you are laying there with your sword wound, attendance is right their dying with you.

    please elaborate on the parking.... i hear the points about the tickets, but if people arent there why would parking be far? was some other event going on? maybe solution would be some kind of coat check type location to leave these type of things to not have to go all the way back to car? (maybe for a small donation, mo $!)

    You got to park far to create demand for close pay parking.

    What does this have to do with attendance being low?? It low because we have had a down year this year not because they arnt letting people sit where they please. Why should you be able to sit where you please just because attendance is down? If you wanted to sut there then buy the ticket to sit there not that hard honestly.
