I think both should be offered as an option. We have a fairly large family, and I try my hardest to be places by start of weigh ins, if not before. so a)if they don't make weight they typically have an hour or more to run it off. B) we can get first pick of seats. okay, so most of it has to do with seating, Brock's back is falling apart so we always show early to get that front row spot. and PLEASE! do we really need people getting rude about this stuff? yes, I know we were all matside for a match, but you're sitting on OUR coats. you're sitting right over MY son who's napping between the benches. all we ask for is when we're ready to return, we can sit down.
