Then prior to the start of the event, have a couple of bouncer type guys periodically go around with a shopping cart and remove the items.

Maybe a ground roots TOTV movement. A nice printed sheet with the contents similar to the one you quoted left on the tables. The wording would need to be changed to reflect how rude the majority of folks think it is to reserve chairs rather than having the authority to move. Include URLs to saving seats threads on TOTV. Consider it an awareness progress. I am hopeful that people do not always know others consider what they are doing is considered rude.

Good advertising for TOTV too :)

this is one of the things I love about TV....everyone can find something they enjoy doing and stay away from what they don't enjoy. There is something for everyone. I'm glad not everyone enjoys everything. Imagine what it would have been like at he squares if all 85,000 of us felt we had to be there!!!! :22yikes:

Same thing with any event or Rockey and the Rollers...... Stopooing it? yeah good luck with that. Now we go 2 hours early just to get a chair...... What a waste of good Villages time.....
