Venu accommodations

[SargeUSMC]

It's too bad that FIRST can't find venues to hold their events in that are better suited to accommodate the large crowds of people that they gather.

The big concern is seating, obviously. Especially on Saturdays (or Sundays where applicable), where crowds are much larger than they are on Thursdays and Fridays.

FIRST events are the "big show" of robotics, with some pretty big teams coming out. We had one this weekend with almost 100 people in attendance. Get 30 teams or more together and throw in the families, and it's easy to overpower a gymnasium or other small venue with so many people.

People want to come out but they shouldn't have to stand up all day because there's no place to sit down.

IMHO.
