Depending on the venue, schedule, and the size of your team, you may want to get there earlier than later to get seats if you're allowed to (more important if you're bringing a large team). The kickoff that I go to is usually packed, and trying to seat around 30 people 15 minutes before the broadcast would not work out with all of us sitting together.

Protip, since I don't know if it's mentioned anywhere else: Make sure that someone has downloaded the encrypted PDF files of the Game Manual on a laptop, and make sure that somebody from the team writes down the decryption key, EXACTLY as it appears on the screen. The FIRST website is usually pretty flooded right after the broadcast and you may have an interesting time getting the files. You'll want to start reading as soon as you can.
