I just looked at the Lake Sumter Landing webcam at 3:14 and it shows people who have saved seats for tonight. That doesn't seem very nice.

Nice?? I didn't know you could do such a thing. If your butt isn't in the chair and I wanted it, I think I'd use it. Now, if you're willing to go up there 2 hours before the show start, and sit there, I say, have at it! But to drape stuff to save seats, seems like they'd put a stop to that. Where are the square "parking nazi's" when this kinda stuff is going on?

Scooter The DJ is going to be there. People always seem to have a lot of fun and love to dance to his music. It always seems to work out and everyone enjoys themselves-saved seats and all.

I agree Lovey2...well said! I just looked because we have company and want to go to see Scooter and I wondered if they had market days going on. Surprise by the chairs and displeased with fellow Villages.

Go and have fun anyway jdsl1998. Take your own chairs and find a place to sit when you aren't up dancing!

Know all about it, bkcunningham, but I'd like to think my neighbors really aren't that self-centered. Like I said, if you wanna be in those particular seats so badly, bring a lunch, and go up there and sit!

Okay, then let's think it is people who don't live in TV who roped off the chairs. Your neighbors are still the greatest people on earth. Now those horrible chair ropers on the other hand....LOL Have fun guys!

No saving chairs is one of the pet peavey items I add to my yearly survey. Just update the signs, no smoking in square and no saving chairs.

I would think you could have a situation of "chair rage" someday...

Add it to the survey--no seat saving!

Good idea. I took mine and couldn't really see where comments of that sort were to go, but when I sit my husband down to take his, I'll put it somewhere.

Easy way to end chair saving is for The Villages not to provide as many chairs for residents. Everyone bring your own chair (BYOC). Have some Villages chairs set aside for the mobility challenged people and that's it.

I have heard that the individuals saving the seats when Scooter is there aren't even Villagers!!!!! They follow him around and are dance classes from outside The Villages, just heard, nothing I know for certain...

It's a fact that there have already been "chair rage" incidents in the past several years at the squares due to seat saving. (i.e. physical and verbal confrontations)

If anyone HEARS something spread it before it dies.

The pic I get from those web cams is so small, there is no way I can make out enough detail to tell if someone is saving seats.
