So, the flow would be a U-turn, if only the fitness center doors were open.... I asked a few people if it could be done, but apparently not. This is a mandatory change for next year, if the event is in this building again. Those doors must be open.
While I'm not certain about this, I believe that the doors were closed due to Ventura College not wanting FRC kids going in the gym to watch matches (I will admit I was guilty of this at least once). I think it was a quick decision that someone made that they didn't think through, but we'll try to not let it happen again.
