[Kevin Leonard]

Positives:
The best of the best came to play. I think I saw more IRI upgrades than ever before, and the rule changes let the game really advance to the level I think many teams expected it to be earlier on.
I love the relaxed IRI atmosphere. No one is rushing you on and off the field, no one is yelling "robot" throughout the pits. It's the epitome of what a FIRS experience should be.
On that note, the music was at an appropriate level, whereas at most FRC events its a little too loud.
Commentary was knowledgeable, and the matches were intense.

Negatives:
The lower concessions stand and the corn selling stand end way too early on Saturday. When I finally have a little time to breath and eat on Saturday because my team either got eliminated or wasn't picked, two of the concessions close. The upstairs one is still open, thank goodness, but I miss out on more delicious Indiana corn!
