On that note, I don't know if FIRST has considered this or not, but the tunnel under the stands of the GA dome would be large enough to hold all the pits if they were built along the walls. We did this at Mayhem not too long ago where we had the pits in a hallway, and it works quite well. Furthermore, the wait time between matches would be shorter and the time in the pits would be longer because the walk is so short! By rough calculations (from the internet the GA dome is about 840feet in diameter) so assuming the tunnel is about 800ft in diameter you could fit 314 8x8 pits-ish. Along the opposite wall they could accommodate any extra teams, and such. I am pretty sure there is a PA system in the tunnel for the pit admins, and there must be plenty of power outlets.
Who knows?
Just an Idea...
