[Daryl Marie]

Thanks for bringing this up!  I am thinking about going to a Rangers game in NYC and wondered what you all did with stadium seating.  So do you just scrunch doggie under your seats?

Last time I went to a Mets game, the usher asked my husband and me if we 
wanted different seats, the seats set aside for disabled patrons, but we 
declined.  They weren't in as good a location, and we weren't having any 
trouble with people squeezing past us--the people were coming in from the 
other side of the row.
