On the topic of FRC district events in high school gyms on Fridays I think that it's actually a benefit to the program. Since most of the district events occur in high school gyms it doesn't appear that getting to use high school gyms is a problem. Although I've only attended one high school gym district with my team (Troy), I can see playing on a Friday would be a good thing to attract attention to FIRST and FRC teams because students at the school which is hosting the event could spectate and learn about FIRST and the robotics programs at their school. I know that at least at the Troy District (Troy Athens High School) that students of Troy Athens sit in the stands not used by teams instead of a gym class on that Friday.
