More specifically, if you come by the Robonauts' pits you will be able to see a EARLY (Engineering and Robotics Learned Young) Robotics Field. If you could give me a time of when this will be happening I might be able to arrange some sort of demonstration with some materials that you use in the EARLY Robotics program.

So my question to teams who frequent the LSR and have participated in other regionals, what regional in week two or three has the same Texas Friendly feel Meaning that I can bring in pizza / chicken / sub sandwiches and do lunch tailgate style in the parking lot. I did a short survey of regionals that are within a 24 hour bus ride and saw a lot of venues that specifically state, Don't bring food into thae event or even onto the PROPERTY

Phoenix, Boilermaker (Purdue), St. Louis , Peachtree ....

From Reliant Park's Policies Page (here)
Tailgating
Tailgating is allowed in all of the Parking Lots at Reliant Park, but only during Houston Texans Football games or at the discretion of the management. There are areas of Port-A-Cans, Trash Dumpsters and Ash Bins in every parking lot. All tailgaters must use these responsibly.


The following rules must be followed to tailgate in the lots:
Parking lots will open 4 hours prior to kickoff for the Houston Texans and at the discretion of management for all other events.
You must purchase from the parking cashier or in advance additional spaces used to accommodate oversized vehicles or additional space for tailgating.
Parking is first come/first served; saving of spots will not be permitted.
Gates to Reliant Stadium will open 2 hours prior to kickoff for the Houston Texans and at the discretion of management for all other events.
Tailgating will be limited to the parking spot and space directly behind or in front of each vehicle, whichever is adjacent to the drive lane, but not blocking the lane. You may not tailgate beyond the blue lines marked in the drive lane.
Each valid parking receipt/hangtag is good for one 8’x16’ parking spot.
Fans can purchase one additional parking space/hangtag for the additional tailgating area (subject to availability).
RV’s will need to purchase a minimum of two parking spots and need to park in designated RV areas in each lot. You will need to purchase additional spaced for canopies.
Barbeques in tow will need to purchase an additional space and be able to provide receipts upon request.
Open flames are allowed but guests must extinguish flames before entering Reliant Stadium.
For safety purposes, all tents, chairs, etc. must be put away prior to kickoff.
Large balloons are not permitted as decoration.
The use of golf carts, bikes and scooters are strictly prohibited.
Music should be kept to a minimum.
Reliant Park will conform to all Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission laws, including the section that prohibits the public consumption of alcoholic beverages outside of licensed areas on Sundays prior to 10:00 a.m. Violation of state law could result in arrest or citation. Reliant Park urges you to drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
Please observe and obey the parking attendants and police when parking your vehicle.
You must park as directed by the parking attendants. Vehicles will be parked systematically, stall by stall, row by row, regardless of the occupancy status of the lot. Failure to park as directed can result in termination of your parking privileges.
Blocking or saving parking spaces is prohibited. Fans who wish to tailgate together must arrive together.
Overnight parking is not allowed, unless authorized by management.
Fire Extinguisher: Minimum rating of 2-A:10-B:C Must be fully charged and available at all times.
Charcoal: Must be match-light or quick-light type of charcoal. Use of lighter fluid is strictly prohibited. Provide a metal pan under the B-B-Q pit to prevent ashes from falling onto the ground. Deposit coals in the orange containers provided. Do not throw trash in the ashbins.
Propane: Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. Drippings from gas grills must not fall onto the ground.
Trash: Keep area clear of trash. Avoid allowing trash to accumulate around B-B-Q pits. Deposit trash in green dumpsters, not in orange ash containers.
Pit Safety: Keep combustible materials at least three (3) feet away from pits. Placement of pits should be such that passers by cannot come into contact with the pit. Watch for children playing in the area. Do not leave burning pits unattended. DO NOT PLACE HOT PITS OR COALS UNDER VEHICLES. ALLOW TIME FOR PITS TO COOL.
Generators: Use of Generators is allowed; however, fuel must be stored in (UL) approved metal safety cans with spring-loaded lid and flashback guard.

Maybe you can E-mail them and ask if there was a location around the Reliant Arena, where we could tail gate because that sounds like fun.
