[DivideByZero]

After talking with some of our team members who went to last year's regional (I myself couldn't go), there were two points of consensus among many of the people:

1) They weren't wild about the food.
and
2) They found that there was a lot of downtime.

This brings me to the point of this thread. First, we have been toying with the idea of having a tailgate party in the parking lot with burgers and hot dogs and whatever else. We would bring our own BBQs and cook out there. It would also save quite a bit of money ($2 per person per day rather than $10, multiplied by however many people we bring).
As for the questions:
1) Is it even legal in Canada to have tailgate parties?
2) Is this feasible? That is, would we have enough time to do this (Fri and Sat only) and is it a good idea?
3) Is this allowed by FIRST / the venue?

As for the second comment, we're also thinking of bringing a TV and video games (specifically gamecube and Super Smash Bros. Melee for a tournament amongst our team and others, if they want to join / there are slots. Are there power outlets outside the pits available where this can be setup? Also, again, is this allowed by FIRST / the venue?

Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
