Re: BOILERMAKER comments or suggestions

When i was talking about the music, i didn't mean the music itself, that was fine. I was talking about the announcer, not the one that gave info to the pits, but the one that introduced the teams at the beginning of each match was hard to hear at times. If the gain on his Mic was turned up a bit more then that might have been better.

As far as the other stuff goes, everything was excellent. Except like i said before, someplace else besides the armory may have been better, because there was such a large crowd that there were many people standing around the field instead of sitting (because there was no more seats). Which in result caused more people to walk around the pits which also at times were way crowded.


And yes the concessions were great, and i also liked the practice field setup. And very much liked the after events. I didn't get a chance to go on any tours of the campus or anything like that. One thing i know a few people were complaining about is the time of the tours. If the times could be arranged like more later in the day when there are not as many matches, or at a time during the evening, it would be nice. That way everyone including the drivers, and the pit crew on the team would get a chance to go. I think that would also help the members on smaller teams that have like 10 students.

Overall I give this regional an 8.65 out of 10. It was great and i had a lot of fun. For a rookie regional i think it was very well organized and coordinated.
