For those who want to get a feeling for locations, try this:

1 go to maps.google.com and search for 'georgia dome'.

2 zoom out and adjust the map so that you can see Centennial Olympic Park on the right side of the satellite view, then adjust the map down just a bit so you can see the whole building directly north of the Dome (which is hall C of the Georgia World Congress Center).

The Dome houses a full football field plus surrounding seating. The park/plaza between the Dome and hall C is roughly the size of a football field itself. With the pits in Hall C, you'll have to cross this area to go from the matches to the pits. Robots and their drive teams have a covered but longer route to the dome floor.

Centennial Olympic Park is where the after party is held unless the weather is not cooperating. It is bordered on the north by the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke.
