A Not So Gentle reminder to display Gracious Professionalism

[mixmasta321]

Hey all,
not to be a nag or anything about GP, but at the St. Louis regional FIRST itself corded off an entire section of seats including the aisle with caution tape for what i am guessing were the VIPs, there were only about 10 people max sitting there and at least 50 seats. This action blocked off our only easy exit to and from the field/pits, which was not advantageous for our scouting team. We had to go all the way up to the top of the arena and back down the stairs again just to get to the arena floor. I know that the VIPs and sponsors play a big part in this organization but it seemed like it would have been a hazard to anybody in an emergency situation. Oh well maybe im just nagging but I thank them for fixing this dilemma in the second day of competition.
