ok... what i get from the pits area... i assume that we will have both halls downstairs (one last year was filled from another event) and that will almost double the size of the pits... having 2 divisions in each hall...

but about the walk for the spectators being shorter... i wonder if they will either open up a back way from the pits to the stadium from the downstairs area outside, or if where they had the shirts, if there is a pathway there to get from the pits to the stadium... i guess we will find out in April =D

a friend and i were able to make it from the dome to the escalator above the pits in 5 min for a programming thing that was completly over out heads. but i really liked the nationals in atlanta. (just not the hotel)
