I think I'm going for a mix of all the above advice. I just realized the band's policy is record for "personal use" so maybe handing out CDRs isn't the best idea. That could easily turn into some big man on campus going to security with "he's bootlegging the show and just gave out samples." Cards with an email might work better in this case.
Here's the current plan... Wedge the stand between the two seats in front of me, with ample bubble wrap to provide protection and keep it back from the folks in front of me. Keep the stand folded up and to ensure stability I will shove some tape under one side, then tape the stand to the seats in front as well as the floor. Rig up the mics, planning for head level, but leaving room to go up a bit as well as down in the event the crowd decides to sit. Run the tables down to a bag at the base of the stand, then run the cables back to the under part of the seat. That will be duct taped to the floor so it can't get kicked around. The bag can then either sit in the seat or under it, depending on the crowd. This way, I'm only blocking my own view and taking up my own space.
To ensure a tape, I'll go ahead and set up a hat rig just in case someone decides they don't like the stand as it is above.
