Yes there is a commuter rush in the area as the Campus is adjacent to downtown Cincinnati.

No. Like most venues where they have a contract with a food service company you are not allowed to bring in outside food. We are not allowed to promote the Xavier dining hall, but we can not prevent you from going there either. My team did the dining hall last year. I'm not sure if there are any covered park areas within walking distance. There are several green spaces/rec areas but I'm not familiar enough with the area to know if there is covered seating. I can check into it more if you need me to.

The Toyota tour was not arranged by us that was arranged by the team on their own. We have tried to get XU to arrange campus tours as well as nearby UC, but we have not had any luck. We are working that again this year.

Once an event can pay for its basic expenses through sponsors, it can then arrange a team social. Sadly, again, we are not fully funded as of yet and so we currently do not plan to have a team social.
