Re: pic: Bills Blog - Bleachers in pit

As I have said twice, I understand the concept of maintstreaming FIRST, attracting kids, bringing media attention to the event, etc. I am glad for the support of Will.I.am. It is the execution and symbolic priority that concerns me. To me the approach should have been: this will be great and we will incorprate it somehow, but only if it does not interfere with the main prioirty, which is the FIRST competition. Displacing half of the competition from the main venue to make room for a concert screams the message that the concert is more important than the competition. When they put on a big show at the Superbowl, they do not make the teams play on half of a field to make room for it. They find a way to make it happen without interfering with the real purpose of the event.
