About making the Dome fit our needs; this past year, the WGI World Championships were held in a rather large arena (for hockey, I believe) but all the space that was needed for the performers was a basket-ball court sized area. They rectified this problem like you did, M. by having a HUGE black curtain cut out about 2/3 of the floor space and also all the excess seating. Like you suggested, a simple curtain could sut the Dome down to the size we need and also provide staging room for teams to get into the area, get in line, and get out without being cramped.

I like the signing shed idea and I think Centennial Olympic Park would be a great place for it (around lunchtime it generally has many schoolchildren running around playing in the fountain, and this would be a great way to get them interested in LegoLeague and later FIRST) but I think we could make it more interesting by doing things like having information about past years and having former robots and so forth involved with it. If you have one wall per year and on that wall have an explaination of that year's game and a robot or two from that year, it would show how long this program has been around. These walls of history could alternate with simple white walls for signing and thus the pavilion would have some more information on the program and help 'draw the public in' more (or even have each year's robot on the outside and the explanation on the inside, so the pretty bot catches an eye, but they have to get inside to understand it).
