Why not. While I've always sucked at them, I've always appreciated the sheer technicality of the games. And there's also how XIII has a mechanic that reminds me of the CCs from Alpha 3 and CvS2.
I've never found them fun, short of the first couple SamSho games. Fatal Fury, Garou, KoF...I've tried them all at various points and just never got into them. Couldn't explain why I don't like them but I just don't. Could be that I'm a pretty sore loser and I'm terrible at them. That's a possibility.
I take it Caesar's Palace won't be the venue for the next Evo then? Haha.

Dunno, the issue isn't Ceasar's but that people keep spilling drinks, and that's going to get charged at any venue you go to.
What I honestly want to see happen is some sort of assigned seating for finals day. We're paying to register and, at least this year, only registered players got to be in the hall on Sunday. Kill multiple birds with one stone and have people in assigned seating. Then you know who's leaving shit, who's being a douchebag, who's not supposed to be in the room, et al.

Problem with that is ... who's gonna be going around policing the assigned seating all throughout the midst of everything going on? Exactly how much manpower will it require? How do you communicate this well to all the different (non-English speaking) foreign players? Etc., etc., etc...
I'd think that the best they could aim for with this is assigned sections based on regions. Specify designated areas (set by number of registered players) for NorCal, SoCal, East Coast, MidWest, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, etc.
You've never been to Evo, have you? People police themselves pretty well and that includes their immediate area. People are incredibly protective of their seats and most people were making pacts right away in the morning. Until the end of the night when I brought a few of my friends up because I knew people had gone back to their rooms, I was sitting with the same 50 or so people in my section and everyone looked out for everyone else's seats. People were mean-mugged, told off, and physically blocked from sitting where they didn't belong. It'd work out just fine.
To expand on that, the section I was in was for judges ONLY. That's like a pilot program for what I'm talking about and it worked swimmingly.

Nope.
So if it's like how you say, then I suppose the idea could work well enough. I still think that the assignments should be arranged simply by regions, though, rather than by player. Seems more practical that way, and I wouldn't think people from the same region would get too finnicky over specific seat order among them.

I'd say better would be to just "expect" the bill to occur, and cover it by raising tournament entry fees a tad to compensate. $6000 spread across 2000+ entries is like an extra $3 per person. Make it $5 per person and you even turn a profit.
The layout of the ballroom is such that there's no way, regardless of which venue they choose, to ensure every section can see as well as the rest. Doing it by region would invariably piss people off.
Tenren, yeah they could do that, but people are douchebags and would just bring shit in anyway. Rules were getting broken all over the place this year and they were pretty lax to begin with.

But wouldn't seat position be a factor regardless of arrangement? Wouldn't assigned seating of ANY kind have some people with less than stellar viewing angles?
How would you suggest addressing both viewing angles of position AND keeping people seated in close-vicinity of their local friends/travel partners?

And what if most people don't pay the premiums for "better seating" and leave their spots to chance? Also, how do you keep from upsetting people who want to sit near their local friends and travel partners (particularly, when people don't exactly register at the same time)?
Seems to me, your idea has it own set of potential problems as well. Let alone with the possibility that some may see it as a blatant money grab.
