A triangle pit wouldn’t work either
I’m at the Reel Big Fish concert tonight, standing by a circle pit near the back of the room. Some guy standing next to me is talking with his friend and looks quite perplexed about something. He looks over at me and asks “Why do they go around in a circle?” I thought about it for a second and found this to be a very valid question. What compells people at a concert to go around in a circle, and not any other shape?
So I replied with the only logical thing that came to mind: “I guess its too hard to go in a square”. After a quick attempt at square-pitting, we found this to be true.
Also, its really annoying trying to make a motion to get people to square pit. Nobody wants to hold thier finger up and try to move it in a square. If you mess up, people might start a rectangle pit, and nobody wants that.
Or maybe he just wanted to know why people circle pit in the first place.

The square pit was pretty awesome though, despite that it lasted about thirty seconds before degenerating into a circle pit.
