This was a massive problem in Montreal as teams had to cross where the public went to and from the stands, the coat check (a very nice feature indeed) and the FLL event. It didn't help that people going by would be enthralled by the lights and excitement of the event and stop in the middle of the que path to watch. Most people at the event had never seen a FIRST event before so it was quite a challenge to keep the event moving a everyone safe and away from the playing field area ( I must have made a few hundred "saves" over the weekend playing goalie and blocking people from entering the playing field area. It made the que teams job much much harder that it had to be but I don't think there was any other way to run the path so we made the best of it).
