Championship 2011 - St Louis - Your Thoughts Please?

[Don Wright]

Likes:

- The relaxed security into the dome
- Allowing us on the upper levels in the Dome for Finals
- Once they finally opened the doors to the shorter route to the Dome, the walk from the pits to the Dome
- I actually like the fields in the pits
- Parking
- Bus unloading here was significantly better than that huge long bus queue line in Atlanta
- I didn't like it at first, but the semi-intertwined pits caused me to see some robots and teams I probably wouldn't have sought out specifically if I hadn't just run into them.
- Lots of other displays for people to visit

Dislikes:

- No broadcast of the action on the fields in the pits so we can see some matches without leaving the pit area
- Need better display of rankings
- Practice fields not open earlier (I know this was to protect for opening ceremony)
- Some refs not seemingly knowing the rules (speculation)
- Need better food near the pits
- Over zealous volunteers
- need routes on the maps - the maps were great, but didn't tell you that if you walk down that long hallway and get to the end, the doors will be locked.

Overall I think it was a tremendous start and I look forward to the next two years in St. Louis.
