We walked to the City Museum on Friday night from our hotel near the Dome (and I had a ton of fun there).
I think there was a little confusion between the Finale last year and this year. This year was just the Science Museum. Last year, there were a few other sites on the menu of activities, including the City Museum & Arch, with different buses servicing.

Also the Talent Show was at the Science Museum, instead of the Theater in the America's Center where it was held last year.

But because the finals/closing ceremonies in the Dome ran more than 1.5 hours long, it magnified some of the failure points as discussed in the posts above. I'm glad FIRST has addressed how disappointing this was on all sorts of levels.

11,000 people held wristbands for the Finale.
