I am also the head coachs wife and we arrive early to make sure that our parents and wrestlers have seats. I have been in the club for almost 5 years now and have really enjoyed it, but have also noticed how rude some people are about seating this year. I too have thought that it is rude of the people that show up 10 minutes or so before the start of the wrestling and either expect to sit their family of 10 in good seats or move your stuff over while your on a bathroom break! And then there are some that dont even ask or look at you and just sit down on top of your stuff! Its just unbelievable this year. I try my hardest to be nice but after the long hours of sitting up there and protecting belongings and seats you tend to get a little tired and cranky!
I understand that its hard to pack that many in such small spaces but people need to take in consideration that we did get up early, drove to the tournament tired and hungry and then sat in those seats all day. So I completely understand! And sometimes I feel like an angry mad women after soo many "yes these seats are taken, they will be right back" or after moving our team mates stuff out from someones butt or feet!
I do try my hardest to be polite though, I really do. And I hope I haven't offended anyone in the stands.. I just want to go enjoy my day and watch my boys without all the hassle of the seating!
