Why, are you throwing a big party?

I cringe at the thought of merely expanding the seating at Einstein without some drastic changes to its layout. Trying to watch matches from the stands was impossible because the robots looked like matchbox cars. The floor seating wasn't much better. About the only good place to watch matches in Einstein was the pit in front. Even there, it was difficult to see unless you were in the front.

If FIRST wants people to watch the elims & finals, they need to fix the seating & viewing problems on Einstein. They may have to switch to seating that resembles a stadium instead of a theater. From the stands on Einstein, it was difficult to discern the robots, but from the upper sections in a good stadium, it's possible to see a hockey puck on the ice.

btw, I heard that Disney is basically maxed out at ~300 teams.

Mike
