Feeding the Team in St. Louis
While we've been to Championships many times in Atlanta this is our first year qualifying to Championships in St. Louis. As the guy figuring out logistics what recommendations do you have for lunch and dinner near the arena?
In Atlanta there was the ever popular food court which made this stuff easy. Is there anything similar in St. Louis? If not, what good teen-friendly restaurants are within walking distance?
In Atlanta, FIRST made sure there were lots of food carts and such available to teams. Is this true in St. Louis? Do we need to worry about bringing in lunches or ordering box lunches?
Is the downtown core safe enough that I can turn the kids lose with a list of restaurants and, as long as they go in groups of three or more, assume they will be safe enough? We generally just establish a perimeter and a list of approved places for them to eat and not try to keep everyone together in one pod.
