My biggest problem would be that the team party needs to remain an event that's closed to the public. While we want to do everything we can to attract attention and interest in our Atlanta event, we don't want to risk safety to the competition participants.

A party in Centennial Park might be fun, but faces two challenges. The first is the most obvious -- weather. Does Centennial Park offer the same sort of indoor attractions found at Epcot that can accept an influx of thousands of people? It doesn't, as far as I can tell.

Second is security. The event needs to be cut off from public access. My fear would be that a free concert by any locally or nationally famous act would attract public attention -- but at the wrong time. The Party is for the FIRST participants to celebrate surviving another season. Public awareness and interest in FIRST needs to be cultivated before the party, not during it. I'd be worried that a performance in a public park would attract too much outside attention, and where security might not have been a real problem, it could become a huge, expensive headache.

Just my concerns.
