Re: What would you like to see at a regional?

Alright, what could've made the Palmetto off the heezy for sheezy?

-Keep the music clean. I believe we've beaten Tweet's horse to death.

-Get a full-sized practice field (if the game is more Stack Attack-y) or at least a half (if we're talking more like FIRST Frenzy, where the other side of the field isn't AS important).

-If there is WiFi in the arena, TELL US!!!!! (I woulda used it!)

-The bank of computers would've been great. I'll bet there was room in the Colonial Center for a room to handle that.

-A little more width to the pit aisles wouldn't hurt...sometimes it was a squeeze if our little red wagon was headed out and a monster of a wagon was headed in.

-Some easier method of seating. 1293 was front rows center for Palmetto, but there were two equally annoying ways to get to the pits from there: go all the way up to the concourse, walk to section 105, then go all the way down, or cut across the aisles, annoying the spectators. If strategic rows (or even part of the floor, although I know that could make a pinch for field security) could be corded off so that teams could walk from the field to the pits more quickly, we'd all be jumping for joy. (And seating for the teams competing in that match wouldn't hurt, either.)

-Get a full-sized screen on the pit side of the curtain. Palmetto was great with that small projector, but it was pretty hard to scope out your ranking without either being blocked by a team or blocking a team coming from the field. Maybe if they moved the screens to the far side of the arena, away from all of the traffic, that'd help.

-As much of a pipe dream as it is with arena contracts, it wouldn't be too bad if there was a reasonably priced snack bar for students. (I know that most teams went to either Sonic or Wendy's during lunch at Palmetto--it seems that if you had affordable food on-site, you could easily keep all of those students' dollars in the building!)

That's all I can think of.
