Perhaps we should get rid of the award presentations, since they're keeping volunteers at the arena longer, too?

Sean,
If you are referring to some of my comments in your post, I'd like to clarify a couple of things:
1. I can't accept that a piece of the field is up for grabs. As far as I know, it never has been so why would it be now?
2. There aren't enough volunteers for some of the events. That was my point. It wasn't about staying longer. In the past, when I've done crowd control, I have been pulled from other positions to do it.
I won't comment any more in this thread.
Jane
