booyah!
While i like the comfort factor, i highly dislike the indoor setup... if its gonna be indoors, make it like a three ring circus... surround each field with bleachers and preferably put each field in their own tent. the noise spillover was horrible and i really don't like having only one viewing angle... then teams can't get close to the field to cheer, there are cameramen in the way... why can't they be on the other side? aiiieee!



: : I had A LOT more fun back in the day where we didn't have the privilege of air conditioned tents..

: I totally agree with you Kate! I got a few odd looks from the FIRST staff when I groaned as they announced the indoor fields again - but I absolutely HATED them. I miss being on the outdoor fields, and last year, the only time my team (69) played outdoors was for a practice round....it was horrible! Not to mention with 3 fields in the same tent it was impossible to *think*, nevermind hear what your coaches/allies were saying! I have nothing good to say about them at all.

: If a/c is so important, then move the national to somewhere cold...why bother with Florida if you are going to hide in a tent all day?

: (who really really really really hated the *concept* of indoor fields, hated them even more in practice, and is praying for the return of the 3 outdoor stadiums from 1998)
