Between the panhandlers and the drug deals to the charges for transportation to the crappy hotels to the less than good food, this was the worst experience I have ever had at a FIRST competition.
No parking or in and out parking - paid $48 to park 1 night -
Loooooooong walks
load in and out was a joke
not organization at all.
Atlanta sold FIRST a bill of goods
Can you tell I wasn't happy.

I'll bet you stayed at the "Super 8 Hotel". This was the worse dump I have ever been in.
I also agree that the panhandlers were a constant bother..you could not get to the CNN center without being hit up several times..this is real bad..not a first issue, but the chamber of commerce or mayor of Atlanta needs a few letters..
Load in was horrendous. We had a first volunteer get militant with us on Wed night, telling us that we could not get info on the load-in because it would give us an unfair advantage...huh? I am sure that the freight elevator location and info was a major part in us coming in Second in Newton finals..
;-)
But I think my experience would have been better If we had been at the Omni hotel or the embassy suites..less walking and staying off the streets for panhandlers..
