What happens to people with medical conditions, like diabetics, etc. I know for a fact they cannot eat that trash they call food. Are the event staff going to tell these people they cannot bring in food?

Alright, I know a thing or two about diabetics, as long as you have the medic alert thing on you, you (I think by law) are allowed to bring in food that you can eat. (therefore, if you pulled in what they were selling, you'd be in a lil trouble) but they have to respect that. As for any other reasons, I kow personally, I'm apollo-vegetarian (I eat chicken and seafood in the way of meat) and last year I got stuck eating fries at the competition. However, our team did order in, and we were told to simply take our food out of the stadium area and eat in the main hall. That's all. I think it would be rare to find event staff that will have a real problem with it.... just watch out for the food vendors, they might get upset. Just be polite(not hard for FIRSTers I'm sure) and you should be just fine!
