From what I remember from the post FLR meeting no one is allowed to talk to this guy. Not even from the planning committee and for some reason he insists on the portable bleachers.
With 40 teams and a push to get the public in there there is going to be no room at all in there at all. I hope people in FIRST read this take time to take that into consideration before there are big problems the second week. And punishing the teams and saying "well you guys need to figure it out and make room" is not the answer neither. It's not the teams job to go out of their way to make room for the public. That's the planning committee's job. There's a big huge space not being used for anything but a place for kids to go off and toss footballs around and play hackysack.FIRST needs to help the committee make the best possible event there is and let them talk with this guy so they can let him know what they need so they can give everyone the best possible event there is to best sell FIRST to the Rochester community.Nothing kills the momentum of selling a program than having a completely miserable experience attending the event no matter if it's free or not.
