Dear Mr. Meyer,
I had a seating question and was referred to you because I understand you manufacture stadium and arena seating. My question:
When entering or exiting a seat in a stadium which is the proper side to face the person sitting down? Rear to them or crotch to them?
I am always at a quandry when this comes up. To hence: last week at a sporting event I had to leave my seat to get up. There were a row of people- ALL FROM THE SAME FAMILY- that were sitting down the row. I exited my seat, stood up, and faced away from this family.Then I moved down the row realizing that my buttocks were not two inches from this guys entire family. I had shown a whole family my rear end! But then again, had I turned around and moved down the aisle THAT WAY - would that not have been worse? Stadium seating is the only situation in life where you can show whole rows of people your butt or your crotch and it's all perfectly acceptable.
Can something be done about this seating? Should the rows be changed? I suggest a single row straight up to the top. You walk into the stadium and simply find your seat number and go up until you get to it.
Question: Is there a gracious way to exit? Thank you Sir, for your response.
