Not sure if this is correct but I was recently told that the problem with Villages personnel doing anything about the seat saving violations is that they have no legal power to enforce these rules. If that is true then how does someone get banned from the squares as we know happened in a different confrontation? And if there was never any intention to enforce these rules why post the signs and make the announcements in the first place!

Nothing irritates me more than those who think that the rules are for everyone else to abide by but do not apply to them. If a situation presented itself whereby there were no other available seats except a group of roped off seats with nobody in them I would not hesitate to sit down. Unfortunately I would be alone since my wife prefers to avoid any and all confrontation at all costs. The difference in attitude could be because I am 6'2" and 250 lbs. while she is 5'4" and less than half my weight (I dare not say exactly).
