Most are, but not all venues can accommodate this. I've seen it mostly in regionals that are held on convention center floors or large gyms, rather than in stadiums. Chesapeake in 2009 and DC in 2011 had the screen behind the Red alliance driver stations, in order to have enough room to put the field between two sets of bleachers and allow people to walk by. If I recall, Connecticut has done it this way in the past as well.

The advantage of the setup is that you get seating on either long side of the field, rather than just one side and seats behind both driver stations. It makes for a much better view for a larger portion of the audience, and more of the audience has a good view of the screen too, due to the viewing angle.

I have seen a small screen and projector setup at some events so that both driver stations have a score screen they can look at. Hopefully the events that are using this arrangement this year have taken that into account as well.

Re: Predictions Week 2: March Madness

At FLR, the screen is behind the Red Alliance (so the Blue Alliance can look directly at it). However, to fix any advantages, in the last few years the corner stations of the Red Alliance station had LCD screens installed with the live feed to allow coaches to still view the real time scoring. I'd expect FLR to have those screens again this year.

Nothing argueable about it. They are overdue as the only team to go to Einstein 4 times and not have a Championship banner. After that its gets muddy with the 3 teams that have gone 3 times, but 968 has had the most success of late.
