As our team videographer I was overjoyed when our team leader gave me a Media Pass to allow me access to the floor. I was able to get close to the action while hopefully staying out of everybody's way. Just about everybody that had the pass got closer to the field when their team was out there to get some great shots. They then respected other teams as I did, and moved all the way back to the base of the stands when their team was not competing. It did get a little crowded during the QF & SF but that is expected.
Some people used tripods even when they moved up close but I felt that it was not safe to have one so near the field just so I could get a steady shot. Perhaps a referee, official First camera person or another media person might trip over it. I think the volunteer officials did a great job allowing us to get close enough but not too close as to inhibit their movements.

First off, I'd just like to say that the whole "Triple Play" game was phenomenal. There were so many things about the game that made it so intense watching. The Pit Area was awesome, and the proximity of the pit to the dome was very convienient. The whole Atlanta area was very convienient, with hotels walking-distance from the dome, the CNN center right across the street, closed roads, everything. It was a very good location. And well, the people were awesome, and it was just so fun.

Thanks for your comments. Obviously I am happy to have the Championship's close to my home! I think that most will agree that there were improvements made this year and hopefully will continue being made next year.
