Re: Food at regionals?
I see this as a very unfortunate downside to securing these large stadium venues for regionals. Most stadium venues have direct contracts with food service companies that cannot be violated during any event booked within. The problem with a FIRST event is that it's three days long, eight plus hours per day and many participants are busy enough with team jobs/duties that leaving for food is not an option. It really would be nice if a more student/team friendly arrangement could be made at the SBA in NJ for 2005.
