Since you mentioned first, I don't feel so bad about bad-mouthing my favorite event. I agree with Joe 100%. I could not see very well from the stands and it was somewhat unbearable to sit there for very long. They need to have some sections in the stands with shade. All the seats in the front on the ground were pretty much useless also. Why couldn't they just have started the stands closer to the stage and have them go up from there like any other stadium/arena? I know they needed lots of seats for the awards ceremony, but they should have just made the stands deeper/taller.
I was up on stage during the finals and looked out into the crowd and was surprised to see almost all the seats empty!!! For the most part there were only the folks standing in the shade near the stage.
I hope FIRST noticed this. And if they did, they cannot be happy about it.
Raul
