I've been to multiple unofficial FRC events where something like a cafeteria/MPR was used as a decent pit space. Maybe that could open up some more options in SoCal (and SD specifically).

FIM Escanaba uses part of the cafeteria for approx 10 pits and a small practice gym for approx 30 pits and the practice field. FIM LSSU used the hockey arena for pits and the basketball arena for the field.
Many people mention using two gyms because many schools have two gyms separated by a hallway which makes for a convenient arrangement. But, it is not an absolute rule by any means.
