I agree. 1% may argue, but people will tend to be much less confrontational with a person in authority than with just another audience member.

Has anyone ever wondered if some of these people who are roping off seats are from outside The Villages? I know the squares are open to everyone, but I wonder if people are coming from another development, since many believe that they have the right to all of the same amenities as Villagers and roping off the seats.
