Einstein Field issues Handled correctly?

My friend and I examined solutions on the 6 hour ride home:

-Putting the finals on an existing field poses the logistical problem of seats. The teams on Archimedes (if that were the chose field) would have the advantage over every other division when it comes to getting good seats for "Einstein". Also, how would FIRST block off seats for the Einstein teams? You can't block those out for all of Saturday if they're in the middle of a division's block of seats, and you can't really kick teams out of those seats in time for "Einstein".

-Moving fields during awards (after the issue was noted) is a logistical nightmare. The podium, cannons, judges seats, student rep seats, etc are all set up to be where they are, and you can't just move that in a quick and organized fashion. Not to mention stampedes of people trying to move seats.

Anything else we've said has been mentioned and scrutinized already.
