Other than some of the over anal traffic control, and the practice field the pits were fine....
The field on the other hand....I hated the fact the crowd just sat around like lumps...no animation other than when their team was on the field....if that was FIRST's goal with the no noisemakers etc rule they got EXACTLY that....
Bring back the fun to the national competition PLEASE....
On the upside the walking distance compared to Houston was GREATLY reduced which I loved, and I like the venue a little more...

The only team that had any real consitent enthusiasm on Newton was 547 F.E.A.R. and people were telling them to sit down and shut up. All they wanted to do was have fun and alot of people were just acting plain nasty to them. Way to show the spirit.
