I've shown up at the track to mark my seats early to only come back and the spot in front of me has them so I had no room and they didn't care at all. So now I just mark off 2 rows so I know I have room BUT I always give the seats in front of me away when I see they don't have those chairs I tell them spots open .

On a different note if we are looking for issues, how about you are a nonsmoker and people right in front of you chain smoke all night. That's enjoyable.

I believe Attica bans the use of stadium seats on their bigger shows.

Most race track operators would probably love it if this was an issue, which would mean huge crowds.

99.99997% of the races I go to this is nowhere close to an issue. Coolers are just as much in the way as stadium seats probably more.

Some tracks we go to with the "pre-race" seating, people stack coolers and stadium seats and blankets at the end of the rows and you have to do acrobatics to get in the rows.

What annoys me is someone going in and out of the row 10 times a night, carrying 6 beers, and spilling beer all over.

I saw someone this year on a top row with one of those long web-made chaise lounge chairs. I hadn't seen one since about 1968. It was good for a laugh.

I'm sure everyone on here used to see someone or a couple guys trying to haul a large Styrofoam cooler filled with ice and beer up the steps in the stands at Indy, only to have the thing fall apart half way up.

I don't know how they do it but some of those Vapor things people smoke, put out a plume of smoke like a stack of old tires burning. I haven't figured that one out yet.

It seems to me the real issue is the size of the seat and selfishness of those who bring in seats which grossly oversized. there are seats that are no wider than the bench itself and have a back which is perpendicular to the back edge of their seat. these are probably acceptable.

People just do not seem to realize they are members of a group and need to respect those around them. As an example at Smackdown this year I witnessed a couple come into the reserved seats put their oversized chair seats down and basically take all the leg room behind them. to their credit they did move when it was pointed out they did not have a reserved seat ticket!

I don't have a problem with the smaller ones as you pointed out it is the over sized ones that irritate me and a lot of other people those are the ones that need to be banned. Like coolers there should be a size limit.

If I'm going to a race and I know that there's going to be a good crowd, I won't bring it. If a lighter crowd, and I come a bit later where there are plenty of open seats with no one sitting in row behind me, I bring it and use it.

Talk about annoying, I had a guy in my lap at the chili bowl because of his stadium seat so I know what you guys are talking about. They should definitely be banned there
