Ya, one guy on our team was a big fan and threw his MOE shirt on the stage
The reaction of everyone else on the team was the same: "You could have traded that shirt, the is no way that Mandy keeps that shirt!". I felt the need to lighten up this thread a bit
I think a big musical act would have better success this time around since the choices are different. Last time, it was Mandy vs. EPCOT (w/ free food) exclusively open to FIRST Teams. This time if it is Black Eyed Peas vs. go back to the hotel, I think most teams will choose Black Eyed Peas. Black Eyed Peas are bigger than Mandy Moore ever was (just played Super Bowl) and I think teams that would normally leave when not selected in Elims would stay for a concert, creating to a larger crowd. Unfortunately, that crowd might be an issue for teams returning to the dome after playing their Elim matches in the pits
Looking at
the floor plan for America's Center, I wonder which halls they would use for the fields? Obviously, Einstein and 2 Qual Fields will be in Hall 6 (EJ Dome). Possible places I guess the other Fields could be:
-
Hall 5: This would consolidate the Volunteers and Security around Hall 5, the Annex and the EJ Dome.
-
Hall 3 or 4: Fields as bookends to the pits. Possibly better noise isolation and traffic flow around the fields. FTC & FLL pits might be closer to the EJ Dome where they are presumably playing their matches.
My best guess is Hall 5, what do you guys think?
