To the powers that be,
Would it be possible to check which field will be at Troy. If you know that the field from TC went to Cass could we get that one at Troy. Reason being that it seems only one field is able to broadcast sound for web casts.
Thank You,

The field from TC went to A^2. The field from from Kettering went to Cass.

In addition to what Jack said, I think the field at CT will be the one for Troy.

Except for the buzzer, foghorn, 20 second warning and match start, all sound is done by a private company, it has nothing to do with the field.

If I have this correctly, sound at Cass went though the school's own system. The field sounds had to be jerry-rigged in.

Ok, sounds like it is hit or miss on sound. Now for something else. An email was sent out and #4 on the list made it sound like Friday was not open to the general public. It mentions wristbands for the teams to enter. Could someone clear this up. Oh, they also mentioned some guy that is going to be there Friday. Jean simmons or something like that.:)

I have not heard anything about wristbands for the event. I know there is school going on, but it seems outrageous to limit spectator viewing at a FIRST event. Are you referring to this (http://www.firstinmichigan.org/article.php?story=2010032321324038) update?

And I too have heard that Dean Kamen will be stopping by for a visit on Friday afternoon :) It's a shame that I will be in school, or else I would drop by to visit him :D

I heard that it's going to be the field from Detroit, but that was just something heard in passing. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

(edit: for those who will be at Troy this weekend, I'll be there on Saturday afternoon after I finish up with another obligation. Look for the Gearheads bandanna and come say hello [: )

Last year Traverse City had wristbands on Friday as well. It was because the school was still in session and they didn't want kids to skip class.

Not true at Michigan District events.

At districts sound management is up to the discretion of the event coordinators; so far both of the event's I have attended have had the sound systems run by FIRST volunteers, and all sounds routed through a single sound system.

I was at Troy tonight and it is the field from Wayne State. I can vouch for the carpet because I marked the ball grids with circles at Wayne State and they still live!
