Website Award 2012

Very nice website! Your design is really easy to understand.
However, I do have some questions/suggestions.

Why is the home page different from the portal page? It is a bit confusing as I expect to return to the portal page when clicking "Home".
For the portal page itself. Consider coding it to have a fixed width like the rest of the site. I have a high resolution screen and the scrolling function does not work. (Here's a screenshot) Also, it would be nice to include the FIRST logo on the portal page.
Why is there a portal page?

Consider having adding an "About Us" link in the "About" dropdown menu. I really like your section about your team but people rarely click on the parent link in the menu.
Same thing goes for the "FIRST" and "Calendar" sections.

One thing that has worked in the past is making the parent links portals to the
children links in the dropdown menu. I see you already do that for your "Media" and "Reference" sections. It would be nice to apply it to all sections as a lot of mobile devices can't use dropdown menus and giving them links to other sections will allow them to use your site.

You guys have great photos/content!
Perhaps, for your content, you could break your sections down. For example have a short paragraph with your main points and/or a bulleted list then have your longer paragraphs below.
When people browse the internet, they aren't usually interested in long bodies of text. It is an immediate turn off. Instead, they like to skim information. So, by highlighting your main points, you can get your information across in a way that caters to the skimmers.
