Thanks.

One need for improvement area that I have seen at all regionals that I have attended (maybe there is a solution already out there at other venues) and mentioned it last year to some members of my local regional planning committee, is the need for a location for teams to put their non-technical stuff. Basically anything that doesn't belong in the pit, but is an annoyance and safety hazard in the stands.

Many of you know what I am talking about when you have tried to sit in the stands and there is a bunch of coats or 5 seats full of team ABCs unused spirit items in a great spectator location. I don't think it is anyones fault that this occurs, its just the fact that people don't have better homes for these items while at competition.

So, my request is to have a place to put these items, especially the coats. On top of being tripping hazards these items are often moved by other people and sometimes not found again by the original owner. This is obviously not a necessity as we have dealt with it for many events now, but I think it would be great if a venue had a place to accommodate these items.

I also want to thank all of the regional planning committees who take their time to make these events as good as possible.
