I'm drawing a blank on their first layout option at moment, but I remember one of the proposals was to actually house all of the FRC pits and fields within the convention center and run fields similar to what was done in 2011 because of the concert. The convention center is massive, I think there was enough room to actually house 6 divisions of FRC teams if the Championship ever needed to grow to that size, or possibly reduce the number of teams per division and just increase the number of divisions. Einstein, FLL fields & pits, & FTC fields & pits would be housed in Lucas Oil Stadium in this setup.
As far as the outdoor area for teams to hang out, there was talk of turning Georgia street into a FIRST village like they did for the
Super Bowl Village. In addition to the existing restaurants they could easily bring in tons of food trucks for quick food options.
