I haven't seen it posted here yet, and it seems to be one of the bigger problems with housing an event like FIRST in a football stadium.
To get to the Curie field you had to walk all the way around the stadium, and it just feels unnecessary. Why not put Einstein where Curie is currently and move the 4 main fields closer to the pits. I mocked up this proposal. The four small blue boxes are the division fields, Einstein is given half of the stadium for floor space and seating. |
This is very close to the set-up in Atlanta, which people forever have been wanting back. The problem is that the VIP lounge looks over Einstein in the current set up, and it's been a pretty much decided factor that due to that they won't move Einstein. While it's not the must effective layout overall, it's crucial to have the VIP lounge over look Einstein. Without the VIP's and Sponsors, we wouldn't be able to rent a giant Dome, so we do have to take care of them.
