First of all, you are assuming that no one could see anything. The
hedges are 20ft height, but in a Quidditch game the goal post are at
50ft meaning the gametakes place between 20ft and 100ft with average
of 40ft to 60ft high. So it is reasonable to assume that the stands
are from 30ft to 70 or 80ft above the ground, which means that people
COULD look down into the hedges and see people moving around. The 
contestants could not be seen by everyone all the time, but they could
reasonably be some by many of the people most of the time. And I feel
that the Cup was placed in an open area near the end where /most/
people could see the cup being taken. 

While I have no more proof that people could see than you have proof
that people couldn't see, it makes more logical sense to assume that
if there are spectators then there is a spectacle that can be seen. 

Just a thought.
