The snitch isn't completely out of view of the audience though. And I think that's kind of the point. The audience can see every fight between seekers for the snitch. This happens at the world cup, and at the matches between Slytherin and Gryffindor in the books. A good set of chasers and beaters can be countered by a good seeker and a good keeper.

Ya I’m curious Lil M @Little_mouse@lemmy.ca about how you imagine the typical seeker flight paths in context of the stadium, obviously no “wrong” answer :)

I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but I seem to recall them describing the snitch as 'basically invisible' and the players flying under the bleachers and into the stratosphere in pursuit of it. Those might be exceptions, maybe the frog only sometimes wanders out into the parking lot.
