: In my opinion, FIRST should go the other way if anything, and put ALL the stages indoors, saving the main stage for the Finals only.

*shudders*

There's a nightmare I hate to imagine! Those 3 indoor fields were a nightmare, and I didn't have to deal with the viewing side of things.

As a driver, having the 3 indoor fields (on which my previous team played on exclusively) was a pain to put lightly. There was so much noise from the other 2 fields, it was difficult to tell what sounds were for your match, and what were from others around you. Also, it made it near impossible to communicate with coaches, so forget talking to your alliance for on the fly strategy changes. Also the lighting was horrible at times, making some viewing difficult...

My team complained about the viewing, and I know that I'd have to agree with them on the times that I was out scouting or cheering for friends. I enjoyed sitting in the sun during the day, though maybe if they did add a bit to the pit tent for those that need to get out of the sun for a bit like Colleen said. In anycase I PLEA to FIRST to please bring Nationals outdoors again!!!

Just my 2 cents...

Lora
