People who have seats right behind the plate and never look up from their phone should be dragged out of the ballpark and banned for life.

Seriously! I wonder why anyone goes to live events anymore when they just spend their entire time on their screens. Also, their inattention to the game imposes on others, as they stand up in the MIDDLE OF A PITCHER'S WINDUP because they discovered they need another beer. losers.

Sports games might actually be fun if the people there watching it all wanted to be there and were sharing in a communal experience. Not what rich people want, though! That’s anathema to them, and they have (naturally) the most visible seats.

It's because the view is so bad they have to actually watch the game on their phones.😅 I sat right behind the plate at old Yankee Stadium some years ago, and couldn't see shit on the field. Better higher up, IMHO.

During one of the last Dodger regular season games, there was a kid, maybe 10 or 11 years old sitting behind the plate about 5-6 rows up. He was calling the game as if he were the umpire. I could not take my eyes off of him. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!

The deluxe seats are a status symbol, for sure. Plus, it’s embarrassing when they go empty/unsold. If I were the GM, I would roam the cheap seats and take actual fans to go sit down in front if those seats aren’t sold for the day. Random selection, just tell them to behave and enjoy.

So true. Even worse the rich who own the seats don't show up and no one is allowed to move down. Twins owner Calvin Griffith was a cheapskate but when the Twins played at Met Stadium after the third inning they told everyone to move down closer. The richer they get the less the rich want to share.
