I noticed last year a LOT of extra space at Peach Tree. Obviously you couldn't add a few more practice fields due to money, personnel, time, etc. (the room in the GWCC could probably hold another 4 or more) but you could add several ~10' square spaces with simple guards around them so people have an out of the way area to practice sub systems. Obviously this only works if the regional had that kind surplus area.
