Someone help me with this math problem here and tell me if my assumptions are correct. I am looking at a scaled map of the Yard and it is approximately 200' from the inside corner of Wing 1 to Wing 2. The photograph that I am looking at is about 4 years old but it appears that the bleachers are about 8 tiers deep. There are no bleachers on Stribling. Therefore, the total width of the bleachers is approximately 160'. At 22" per person, this equates to approximately 90 seats per row. This allows for a total of 720 family members in the bleachers. Maybe another couple of hundred standing on Stribling. Now if only half the 1200 candidates show up with a couple of parents and a little sister, over 800 of them will not be able to see the swearing in. And 2010 sees absolutely nothing wrong with hogging 26 front row seats.
