I know others have done the math, and probably have more details, but there are still plenty of reasons why they may have made this decision. Until we get there, or until they say otherwise, assuming they "pushed us aside for a rock concert" is STILL speculation. Obviously many others don't, but I still have faith that in general, FIRST knows what it is doing, and often has good reason for doing what they do.

Ahhh.... the entitlement generation...
No offense Kim and although I may seem like I am whining, speculation is over. And it is disheartening to be told one thing for years listening to Dean's speeches and now two fields are being moved for a concert.

Yes, they haven't said the fields have been moved for a reason beside the concert, but they still haven't offered another position as to why they were moved besides that they wanted a more "intimate" field experience and "trying something new". I see the dome floor and I was hoping that FLL and FTC would be expanded as they have been squished, but all I see is half of the floor taken up for a concert stage...... what are we celebrating? What are we sending as our message? What are the rookie teams who are competing in the pits for most of the weekend supposed to think? What is now the center of attention, the robots and students or a stage?

I understand that we may be "whining" however this is really disheartening to see.

Entitlement? Now that is dope.
