I'm not taking part in the championship this year, but I can definitely understand your feelings about this. I would be
less than happy to play half my matches in the pit because of a concert, even if I really liked the music.
The issue however is more complex than musical taste and match exposure. it involves what FIRST wants and needs as a program.
I'm not sure how FIRST will handle this, but I think we can all agree that if they do it right, it might really give FIRST a boost and may end up really helping the program and lots of teams.
I wish there was a way to eat the cake and leave it whole, but even with the current state of affairs, we may yet look back at this as a good choice on behalf of FIRST.
