It seems to me that in every KH I've attended, JWs love to occupy the latter half of the hall. Any ideas why?

I suppose for the same reason kids don't like sitting in the front row in class?
Too conspicuous?
LOL.

Can get to the restrooms during meeting?
Can get to the back with fussy children?
Have to leave after the first meeting for work?
AC too cold in that area?
Heat too hot in that area?
Those who should sit closer per one BOE:
Those giving talks
Brother handling mikes on stage
Those without children

I've seen them actually cordon off the last few rows in a bid to force people to move up

Room 215, every congregation I was in that tried that found that people just moved the barriers or climbed over them. I have seen that at assemblies and conventions too.
