Out of curiosity where did you see them? Was it at Climate Pledge Arena? We went to a concert there not too long ago and the new seats were just awful. They really jammed as many as possible in during the remodel.
Like, my friend who is the average size of a fit 35 yr old was pretty much squished and uncomfortable. I mean, I'm pretty sure I had bigger seats in elementary school and these weren't the cheap seats either! Not the Cadillac premium seats, no, but not far off.
We were in the back row of the section (in front of the tables) so we ended up standing most of the time because the seats were too frickin small to be even remotely comfortable. The people behind us were cool with it.
It could explain why the dudes in your experience didn't sit, but I agree it is rude to stand in front of someone sitting, ESPECIALLY if you're at the front of a section.
That's where I saw them and I thought the seats seemed perfectly normal. Which is to say, not good but not unusually bad.
Thanks for replying. I've heard that the seats seemed normal from others, and people who experienced what we did. I suspect the seat widths are variable in different sections and appreciate you adding data to the hypothesis. :)
