We usually show up 2 hours or more early. When we get there,
the line is 30-50 people, unless it is a "big" game. (Gonzaga/Utah)

With 30-50 people in line in front of you, it is pretty easy to get into the first 5-7 rows. Even when people save a seat or two for their friends, which I don't mind terribly. (Try to save an entire row, and you are just one person, I've got a problem with that)

The real issue is, if I show up 2 hours early, in the time it takes between then and opening the doors, (about 30 minutes) there are literally another 50 people that walk up to the line, and jump into the line with their friends in the front.

I understand that if you camp out, and you sleep in a tent, then it is okay to save 5 spots in line per tent. But when the tents come down, AKA 2 hours or more before the game, then all 5 of those people need to be there, standing in line. But this is different. This is 10 people showing up intermittently and standing in line with their 1 or 2 friends who are 25 people ahead of me in line.

Maybe I don't understand the rules correctly. Maybe the line is really more of a "guideline". But it stinks to show up early, and then have 50+ people jump the line in front of me. Then they get in first, they all save 1-2 seats each, and now I'm in Row 10+, every single time.

I personally feel that enforcing the line a little more would be a plus. But I can think of at least 50 people who would disagree with me, every game.

(This might not be well received, but many of the "leaders" of the ROC are big offenders when it comes to this. I appreciate the work that those people do, but, well, re-read all of this. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
