One of the reasons Galileo had so many spectators is because it had a lot of teams who bring a lot of people to the event, but it worked out because it was placed on the side of the dome where you realistically can't properly place another division. Because of the breezeway that connects the convention center and arena being where it is, fitting two fields on the near side of the dome is probably worse than fitting them on the endzone of it. You could move the stage to the other end of Einstein to slide both division fields up, but you then run into a seating issue with a division and Einstein, and a cosmetic issue where you'll have a field teardown going on during Einstein, right next to Einstein, instead of behind it.

The only thing I could think of doing was work better to squeeze two divisions on the far side and far left corner of the dome, where you could still run into overlapping seating and have a division placed really awkwardly on the corner.

Basically, I don't know how they could make that better.
