my husband is disabled, so of course stairs are no friend to him. we've also got a large family- 3 of our 4 kids wrestle, and my stepson's mother often comes to tournaments with one or two people. then you add anywhere from 2-6 grandparents coming- that's alot of people! we've always been the people who show up at the ass crack of dawn to get seats for our group. EVERY week we've had arguments with people over the seating... our youngest just turned 4, and it's not unusual for him to lay between the bleachers and nap for a few hours. a guy went so far as to move our stuff, then when we asked for our seats back, he pointed to it down the bleachers to which I said, "no, you see that kid asleep, MY SEAT MOVE" I hate being rude, but when I get up as early as 4 am to get these seats, you're kinda asking for it.
I've come to love this crazy mixed up family, but this constant battle is wearing me, and as I see here, many of us down.
it was a nice break to go to Liberty Nationals however, I expected seating problems times a million given the turn out.. we sat in the same front row seats both days, laughed and enjoyed wrestling with our neighbors, and even cried watching the paramedics care for a brave little boy who's arm was broken. it was a nice reminder of what this is all about!
