Food at regionals?

[Joe3]

At the NJ regional on Thursday, we sent someone out to go get a bunch of pizzas and then we went out to go eat in the parking lot, like a tailgate. However, later that day there was an announcement that the parking lot was also part of the arena, and bringing food and eating it out there was against the food policy, and that it would be disallowed from that point on. They didnt have much luck enforcing that ruling, but they still made that decision. I think that that was going a little too far. Not everyone wants, or can afford $6 for 3 chicken fingers and a portion of cold, soggy, overly-salted fries. What a bargain.

Did anyone have a similar experiance at any other regionals?
