I mean I get both sides. Yes it would be great to have a higher chance at getting a souvenir but at the same time with people constantly being distracted on their phones nowadays their is a higher chance of getting nailed and being hospitalized by a fast liner

Hanging ropes? You’re gonna pay $100 for a seat behind home and then have an obstructed view?

Ropes? Those would:
1) be in your line of vision the whole time. Your brain can ignore the thin netting
2) a ball deflecting off a rope would make it hard to predict
And if the rope isn’t attached at 2 points, then it’ll flop up and smack someone
Pretty stupid suggestion
