Based on how the pits were setup, I think we could have easily fit 40+ teams.

Thanks for having us and hosting this wonderful regional. Personally, I liked how there were huuuge aisles and comfortable pits.

I hope when you say "keep the flavor alive" for the team social that you aren't planning on topping this years. Impressive how FIRST could get an approximately $50,000 social at a hotel that's supposedly reserved ONLY for armed forces members, veterans, and family.

Sorry, but most of us weren't around when he was a top artist so I guess we never did hear him.
I wondered how a 2nd grade teacher was such a great singer...
