I do not know what NE spends on PODS costs, unfortunately.

I would guess that using PODS is one of the more common shipping methods used by districts. I know MAR also stores their fields in PODS during the season (I don't know any more about their arrangements, though) and that the Chesapeake events probably use them as well (I've seen PODS in the parking lot which I assume is for the field, but I haven't set up one of their fields yet, so I can't say for sure).

It's a big advantage that loading/unloading PODS does not require a loading dock (something most high schools don't have) - you can just roll cases directly out of the POD and in the door to the school. For the PNW people in this thread - how are you dealing with not having loading docks at all your venues (or do you)?

Plus, the PODS moving trucks are super cool.
