Default Roping is for cowboys

It should be one seat for one person, first come, first served. Under those conditions you're completely right, get there early if you want one, and that includes the gang that hopes to sit in the roped seats.
Cedwards38 I agree with you "roping" is for cowboys---not Villagers. Actually, this would be fairly easy to enforce. All you need is a staff person at the Square early and let people know in a nice way that "roping" is not allowed. 99% will comply and the other 1% you call security. Problem solved.
