My other suggestion was for Brownwood, the covered bleacher seating was great, for two reasons, shade and protection from rain, but the seats had no backs and for seniors sitting on backless benches for more than half an hour was not pleasant.

As far as the OP questions about seat saving, I see that it's their very first post. Welcome to TOTV, but before starting a new thread it is sometimes good to do a search, you can find the button at the top of the page. We really don't need another seat thread, a search will show it has been discussed to death.

Here's an active thread with currently 121 posts.
