Why can't each field be located in similar locations to the stands as Curie and Galileo and have the same load in/out procedure for the robots?

When We arrived on Thursday we saw that Curie and Archimedes were very close to one another at one point causing a huge pinch point that would have made it very difficult to que teams. So I worked with Dave Ferrreria and Marin Kobin to come up with a solution that would help both teams flow in and out of their fields more easily. In order to do that we had to have both fields flow in opposite directions to one another so the pinch point could only be used as an exit much like a freeway on ramp.
We did not get the opportunity to help Becky(her last name slips me at this early hour) with her Galileo setup and the first thing I noticed was they lost their back alley I had last year when I was running the field that allowed teams to que up on the blue side and use that gate and they were only able to use one gate to get in which slowed them down alot.
