Re: A plea for a quieter pit area

I spent the afternoon and Saturday trolling the pits of GTR having to drag teams to the field (they weren't coming out on their own and I wasn't doing any good playing traffic cop in the middle of the Hershey Arena with no teams showing up) and the pits were a disaster area of full teams hanging out in the pits holding conversations in the middle of aisles and visitors just standing in the way causality observing the teams trying to get ready for the next match and holding teams up from getting to the field.
FIRST needs too do something about this. Not only is it inconvenient it's dangerous. It's too crowded in the pits with too much going on and pieces of heavy machinery being moved back and forth. I do not understand why teams have to bring 30 kids into the pits to stand around and do nothing and then follow the team to the field so the quers have to turn them away AGAIN and while your at it thanks for blocking the entrance and exit to and from the arena floor.
I said it once and I will say it again: If you don't need to be in the pits stay out of the pits.
