Connecticut is ideal for this new double concept and not good for the super regional because it is a convention center not an arena. Connecticut has a large room like the pits in Atlanta with more floor space than an arena. Bleachers are set up around the field(s). The pits are in the same room right next to the field(s). It's easy to get on and off the field so you do not have to cue a long time in advance of your rounds. Having more than 40 teams (on a field) makes the bleachers extremely crowded, so the double field allows more bleacher space for more teams.

This sounds like a good experiment, right now most of the other North Eastern regionals are full.
