Oh man, does that hurt. Thanks for that one. I managed to miss all that as I was on the field running scoring, but I heard the stories of the shopping carts and all that. Fields in Reliant Stadium and Pits on the Astrodome floor has to be one of the top ten worst ideas FIRST has ever had.
For the record, that was entirely the brainchild of FIRST HQ. The Lone Star RD and Planning Committee tried to tell FIRST it was a horrible idea, but they went ahead with it anyways. I maintain that Houston could have hosted a great Championship that year in the Reliant Convention Center if FIRST hadn't been dead set on the idea of having the fields on a football stadium floor.
