Just Disgusting

I stepped on 3 popsicles at Davis/Sacramento in the stands (I thought it was sort of funny), may sound bad but that was the worse I saw in terms of trash in the stands.

There were consessions open at SVR, I don't think many people noticed it. It was located at one of the corners on the very top level. No garbage though, SVR was pretty clean.

there were concessions open? well I'll be. Evidently not many people noticed them and/or they were too overpriced.

Here is one that will blow your minds! At the Pittsburgh Regional, someone had vandelized bathrooms and portions of the stadium where we were competiting!! It didn't happen just once, it happened a few times! I have NEVER been at a competition where a FIRST participant or audience member has done something like this. It was very upsetting to the FIRST people, the Regional Committee, and to the teams that were present. I'm not sure if anyone ever caught the person(s) who did this, but I hope they did.

The NYC Regional is held in the Riverbank State Park sports arena; the regional committee negotiated for additional garbage containers and additional cleaning crews at the end of the day (additional cost to the regional) because we allow eating in the arena stands. It’s about the only place the team members can eat with comfort. On nice days everyone is outside.
We remind the teams to try their best to keep the arena and pits clean.

2006 was NYC's first year with a Team Social with food. All the clean-up was performed by the a couple of the NYC teams lead by 395-2Train Robotics.
Everyone that stay for the free "Dinner & Movie" was very civil and helped maintain the arena cleanness.
