Are you sure? L.A. hasn't had that, ever. Ventura is all in one room (albeit, with some spread for "peripheral" parts of the pit). OC is practically all one room (slight overflow to odd corners of said room); IE same thing the last couple years it existed. Not quite sure about San Diego but in the venue this year it was one area. A couple of times offseasons have dealt with that particular problem, but not often.


With respect to the "community college" statement: This particular community college tends to be extremely busy (except when not in session). I'm also not quite sure on the layout of where the key venues might end up; they're (generally) on the same path, but cover is spotty. (You know, it does rain down here on occasion...typically in February and March.) Though if something WAS hosted there, something breaks and the machine shop is under a hundred yards away, fully equipped, and at least one of those instructors "GETS IT" with FRC.
