The going out for lunch option. But if FIRST is saying the Venue is saying that 5000 people buying those junky hotdogs is whats paying for the arena

then if everyone went out for lunch they would lose money, and we would not be welcomed back next year.

If the venue really costs $10 more per person, then we should come up with that money some other way, or take our regionals to a different type of venue. Passing the cost on to the students in the form of expensive bad food, not enough food, and still being dehydrated for 3 days... is not the answer.

I know this has gone way off topic of the thread, but its an excellent example of 'WE HAVE A RULE' - 'ITS OUR POLICY'

and people feeling obliged to blindly follow it, being made to feel guilty if they dont.

When people create rules that are only in their best interest, rules that take advantage of others, are we obliged to follow them?
