The Philadelphia Alliance, which is held at Drexel University, is pretty tight. There 44 teams packed into a pit area which is about the size of three basketball courts. The stands get really crowded on Fridays. They are not that large and there are many local team that bring their whole team, plus a lot of parents and friends that show up.

The playing field is in the middle of the arena and then food/first aid is on the other side of the playing filed. I think they should move the food somewhere else and give us more pit space.

The big problem is that there is rarely space to practice. Don't get me wrong I like the venue. It is on a college campus and there are lots of places to go nearby. I just think they could do a better job using the existing space. Maybe they could set up the concessions across the street at the Armory building.

I was just recently at Annapolis an the aisles in the pits were HUGE. You could easily get around in the pits is was great. If there were really big crowds seating could have been a problem.
