Yeah. How many sports fans get to say they walked on Reliant Stadium's field?  Although the floor was large enough to accomodate more fields...would more really be wanted? Any closer together and there would be overlapping sound and maybe queuing congestion or something. The seating would probably be a hassle also. Also, I don't think the Astrodome would handle 600 pits. Although, FIRST could always pitch another huge pit tent like at Epcot. It would make the distance a lot shorter if placed correctly.
All in all, it went nicely for the massive changes. It wasn't perfect, obviously. But for moving a massive competition like that halfway across the country, it worked out quite well. I applaud FIRST for doing such a good job with it!
