Pros:
-The fields in the pit were cool so I could go see our robot fast between matches
-All of the free stuff!
-In a city with a national monument (The Arch)
-Jack Black in the i.am.first event video
-The Roboprom was cool, especially since Deadmou5 was there
-The comfortable seats in the dome
-The paper airplanes at the concert and Einstein
-Tons of close hotels
Cons
-uncomfortable pit field seating
-poor boxed lunch food
-pit field bleachers were a tad too small
-Hotel service was horrible (Holiday Inn Select)
-Many of the dome floors were sticky
-wearing safety glasses in the pit field bleachers while scouting was pretty annoying
-where was Morgan Freeman, I was told he walked around the pits but that's it?
-The First finale was pretty boring, we decided dinner was more fun and left after staying for about 20 minutes
-there could always be more free stuff!
So after attending both venues, I decided that I enjoyed Atlanta a lot more. I expected this due to the fact that this is the first year in St. Louis. I would only imagine the organizers will continue to learn from the previous year and get better.
