Safety Is Number One Priority ...

Agree. Including the side of the court we can't see, it's probably about twenty fans that have to be moved (maybe into the corners). If they don't move when I politely tell them, I'll approach the site director and tell him that it's up to him, possibly with the help of the police officer in the corner, to get them moved. We're not playing until they're moved.

Those mats on the walls are there for a reason, and they are not to be blocked. Gross negligence. Liability. Anybody can sue anybody for any reason at any time. I like my house. I like my car. I like my bank account. I want to keep them. Even if they don't have a good case, I would still have to pay an attorney for billable hours, and billable hours aren't cheap.
