Doing some rough estimates on bleacher size
16 rows x 115 ft x 12 ft/in / 24 in/person = 920 people/bleacher x 2 bleachers
1840 people / 88 teams = 20.9 people per team at max capacity.
some assumptions
2 ft per row, could be fewer rows
24 in/person space, std space is 16 in, some bleachers use the 24 in space
100% capacity probably ain't happening, so using the larger in/person size should compensate.
So, 20 people per team in the bleachers seems reasonable, especially considering some teams will not have as many people as they would at a local regional.
Certainly not the ideal that having all the fields in the dome would bring, but certainly workable. |
This isn't counting FLL and FTC participants who may wish to view the FRC festivities, as well as people who come to the event that aren't affiliated with a particular team. This situation would be further exacerbated by non-affiliated spectators who may or may not be joined by his pregnant wife, toddler, and perhaps a stroller (which I realize would be this hypothetical spectator's cross to bear, but consideration would be appreciated).
Of course, this event will be populated and attended by thousands of bright, clever, courteous individuals who can overcome obstacles and make this event successful on all levels.
