Re: Championship 2011 - St Louis - Your Thoughts Please?

i personally prefer the Georgia dome to saint Louis many times over. most of this has nothing to do with the actual facility, but the area itself.

cons.
there are not nearly enough lunch venues around the dome. the CNN center was excellent for this.

there is no park nearby. my team has a tradition of playing ultimate Frisbee against other teams in Olympic park. it was sorely missed this year.

the stadium part of the dome is almost too big. its is so big that nobody can get a good view of the fields. in Georgia the stands were packed. but even the nosebleeds were not so far away that you couldn't see anything.

the distance from the pit to the stands is unbelievable.

it was far to easy to get lost in saint Louis, the dome is squished in a small plot, and there are no open spaces to get ones bearings.

pro's

saint Louis is a larger venue, i believe that they might be able to open up more team slots.

lighting in the pits was much better.

there is no choke point where one 6 story escalator attempts to keep up with 500 teams coming back from lunch.
