As to why there's only 2 divisions in the Dome.... Check the Team Guide A-Z under "FIRST Sponsored Team Events". Note Friday's "staged entertainment performance". I think that explains everything right there.
If we are subjected to a concert, I know most or all of my team will be heading out before it even starts. 8:30 is laaaaate. Pits close at 7, and there's dinner to eat and strategizing and scouting to be done. And then bed so we have a chance of being in our pit by 7 the next morning. I'm... not optimistic about the attendance for this "staged entertainment performance". Though I suppose an empty house would be a pretty strong argument against it next year.
Finally, I'm really looking forward to the traffic jam in the Curie pits on Friday. Between Archie teams queuing 5 matches deep on the pit field and Curie traffic to/from the Dome through Galileo..... Yeah, that sounds like loads of fun. Here's hoping they don't flip coins and decide Archie should actually play on Newton's field. |
Saying that no one would care to see a Black Eyed Peas concert is like saying teams would pass on going to Disney when the competition was finished. While we on CD are hardcore about FIRST most kids involved with FIRST come off as not as intense about it as we tend to get. Alot of kids are just out for a good time at the events and going to a free concert that would probably cost them $100 sounds like a pretty good deal to be honest. I expect alot of people to be there actually.
