At Columbus, I honestly think that the organizers could have at least fit a tower at the venue, if nothing else, with some creative organization. But the lack of ANY part of a practice field shouldn't be justified by the switch to districts. CHS Southern Virginia had a tower, with a scaling rung, with a partial batter, and a few defenses (IIRC). They were wooden, but it's better than nothing. Other regions do more.

I appreciate every single person who volunteers their time to FIRST and GA FIRST, but the lack of the practice fields seems to be misaligned with some of Georgia FIRST's other goals (see: the purpose of the Destination Einstein fields). I'm willing to write this off as a first-year thing, but I hope we can either have better venues for next year or use them more effectively.

And please please please have a practice field at Peachtree Champs.
