Re: Block seating for teams in division stands?
How about a bunch of teams from a region gather enough monetary support from the area to build a FIRST Arena. The arena would have a large area for the pits - enough for approximately 50 teams (a good-sized regional). Additionally, most of the seats would be along the long side of the generic rectangular field. A really cool feature could be a 2-story pit area. The 2nd floor would be demonstrations for something or another and a large eatery. To top off the coolness factor, the floor would be transparent to allow people to look down on the pits below.
A grand vision.
However, until there are thousands of such buildings throughout the world, there will be seating problems and venue overcrowding. People will have to calm down and work out their differences. It shouldn't be FIRST's job to assign seats, they already come up with new games every year with rules that everyone already picks on.
