Perhaps we should get rid of the award presentations, since they're keeping volunteers at the arena longer, too?
I have lots of appreciation for competitive athletics, I used to play lots of different sports in school, and continue to play them for fun now that I'm no longer in school. But that doesn't mean that FRC should copy the "big boys" and do what they do. Lets do something different and creative to celebrate our victories.
