We understand that the restriction is a little vague, and to be honest, that was done intentionally. Putting a true specification together to address every type of cart, wheel, and method of moving supplies, would be nearly impossible. The basic concern is that as guests at the Convention Center, we do not do any damage to the venue. (Any damage that is done, will have to be paid for by the Regional.)
